you can mange to do it using a simple auth helper or acl helper that has
some daily database and if a user flag the login it will mark this hour
and every time the user will try to access
the site the helper will check the last time the flag was raied on the
24 hour period and if it's 15-20 minutes now more then the flags table
and you flush the list every midnight or what so.

(this is a simple technological solution.)

i must say that it should be more then 15-20 minutes or leave an option
for some openings cause people today are addicted to internet.
