Confirmed that forum:nothrottling is now forum:throttlingapplies. There are no docs at http://docs.moodle.org/en/Capabilities/mod/forum:throttlingapplies to explain what this does (not quite sure myself!). Now closed.

This is not good, as we discussed before capabilities must not be "negative" == preventing somebody to do something.

forum:nothrottlingapplies should give capability to post in forums without time restrictions, it should be IMO assigned to all teachers.

What sense would it make to set CAP_PROHIBIT for throttling applies?

On the other hand preventing some role to get nothrottlingapplies is IMO fine (thus making sure they can not post too much).
