echo 0 @Help The flood protection is very simple to use. It can be controlled through popup menus and function keys (F2, F3 and F4). When you startup 7th Sphere it is in the last protection mode you were in. It will tell you the current configuration when you startup. Normal protection will stop any floods you get. You will most likely never be flooded off while using 7th Sphere and normal protection. High protection is for all you paranoid people who are given comfort by having a higher (unreasonable) amount of protection. When you are flooded, you will recieve a visual and sound warning. A window will popup with the information about the flood and a list of options. These are the differencess in protect types and protection levels.

echo 0 @Help High Protection: This protection mode is only for really paranoid people. If 7th Sphere recieves 3 CTCPs in a 10 second period, it ignores the site (*!*@*.whatever.com) for 180 seconds and all global CTCPs for 120 seconds. This isn't needed by many people.
echo 0 @Help -
echo 0 @Help Normal Protection: This is the ideal protection mode for anyone. It allows 3 CTCPs in a 10 second period. If that is exceeded, it ignores the site (*!*@*.whatever.com) for 120 seconds and all global CTCPs for 60 seconds.

echo 0 @Help No Protection: This mode turns all protection off.

echo 0 @Help Text Protection: Although text floods do not flood you off, they can be quote annoying. If you recieve 10 Msgs from an address withen 5 seconds, its ignores all private msgs from the site, including CTCPs for 30 seconds.

echo 0 @Help DCC Protection: DCC protection stops all dcc floods including port 19. DCC protection differs from the other protection in a few ways. When DCC Protection is on, it doesn't allow any DCC connections to be established. It notices the person that you have DCC closed and then warns yourself that you are being DCC'd and you should press [F4] to open up DCC.
