FloodProtection

Getting tired off those endless fights against floodbots or annoying users who like to flood your clients so it crashes or hangs ? Now there is a way to fight those users/bots. Even 2 way's (:smile:) Chat4All provides 2 different way's to fight those spam/virus/floodbots. We've explained the feature that you can configure below , the other feature ((watcher|Watcher)) is a Chat4All Service and operated by us.

!Flood protection !! *((watcher|Watcher)) !! *Serverside flood protection

!!!===Serverside Flood protection settings===

Our server supports new channel modes, a brief explaination :

__K__ : no /knock __N__ : no nickchanges __C__ : no CTCPs __M__ : only regged (+r) users can talk __f__ : flood settings. This is the one we are going to discuss

This mode helps you protect your channel against floods, it's much faster and more advanced then any channelbot.

How to use ? ^/mode #channel ~np~+f [action type[#counter action, (more)]:seconds~/np~^

An overview off the different floodtypes:

• __c__ "CTCPs" --> default action : +C (m,M)
• __j__ "joins" --> default action : +i (R)
• __k__ "knocks" --> default action : +K
• __m__ "messages/notices" --> default action = +m (M)
• __n__ "nickchanges" --> default action = +N
• __t__ "text" --> default action : kick (((ExtendedBan|b)))

Some examples :

ChanOp sets mode: +f ~np~[20j,50m,7n]:15~/np~

If you like to specify other counter action then the default one you have to modify the syntaxis ^eg /mode #channel +f ~np~[20j#R,50m#M]15~/np~ meaning, after 20 joins in 15 seconds, the channel mode would become +i but now it's becomming +R^

A need feature for the more "forgetting types" is the auto remove: ^eg /mode #channel +f ~np~[20m#M15]:15~/np~ the message flood gets triggerd after 20 messages (off all users) in 15 seconds, channel mode becomes +M for 15 minutes.^

A last example to get the hang of it : /mode #channel +f ~np~[15j#i20,50m#M15,10c#C35,5n#N5,3k#K20]:15~/np~

• all gets triggerd after 15 seconds!
• after 15 joins, channels goes +i and will be unset after 20 minutes
• on the count of 50 messages, +M will become a channelmode and will be removed by the server after 15 minutes
• 10 channel ctcp's in 15 seconds, set channelmode +C for 35 minutes
• 5 nickchanges , channelmode +N , unset after 5 minutes
• 3 /knock commands in a row, +K channelmode , unset after 20 minutes

~~#FF0000: Use the flood command wise! If there is no OP (@) in the channel, your channel could be locked for some time!!~~

Hope this will help you protect your channel even more

have a nice chat (:wink:)
