- Synopsis:
- on [<modes>]flood [<serial#>] [-|^]<match> { <action> }
-
- Description:
- This hook is triggered whenever the client's internal flood detection
- code is activated. The client is "flooded" when it receives a large
- number of messages (of any sort) in a relatively short period of time.
-
- Parameters:
- $0 nickname of the flooder
- $1 type of flood detected
- $2 the channel (if any) they're flooding
- $3- content of the flood message
-
- Examples:
- To automatically ignore flooders:
- on ^flood "*" {
- echo *** $1 flooding detected by $0
- ignore $0 $1
- }
-
- To disable flood protection for network services:
- on flood ^'\\[X W NickServ ChanServ\\] *'
-
- See Also:
- set(4) flood_after, flood_rate, flood_users, flood_warning
-
- Other Notes:
- It isn't uncommon for network problems to cause a great deal of data to
- be sent to the client at once by the server. Suspending the client for
- awhile and then bringing it back can produce similar results. Thus, it
- it recommended that KICK or KILL be avoided as automated responses to
- possible flooding.
