The first four main dialog's s tabs have the channel's flood protection settings.
The first of these tabs have options for text, action, notice, CTCP, nick, join, repeat and byte flood.
The second tab contains options for mode flood and flood against multiple users, that is massive op, deop, kick, ban, unban, mode and topic change.
The third one contains options for control-character flood, character flood (long text) or capital letter flood, within a sentence, whether it is a text, action, notice or CTCP message. The "or" option allows you to kick a user if he uses a total amount of control characters (meaning color, bold, underline and reverse characters in any proportion). For example if you have set 5 as a total value and the user uses 3 color characters 1 underline character and 1 bold character, he will get punished according to your punishment settings.
Finally, the fourth tab contains the punishment and
protection options for the users flooding the selected channel. Select
punishment for flooding (if "kick/ban" or "warning - k/b" is selected as a
punishment, you can also set the ban mask and the ban time. If "kick", "warning
- kick", "warning - k/b" or "kick/ban" is selected as a punishment you can also
select whether you want a filter kick or not) and then select the protection
options as you like. The "
Filter kick" option
enables you to kick all users from the same location as the flooder (for
example, if the user is using clones to make a flood). To protect users who
flood the channel and they're operators, half-operators, voiced users in it
and/or users who are in your notify or protect list check the corresponding
boxes.
• Note 1: Punishment for flooding with capital letters will trigger if the characters in sentence are at least 10. If sentence contains less than 10 characters, punishment won't trigger.
• Note 2: Protection for oped, half-oped and voiced users will not trigger on join, op, deop, kick, ban, unban, mode and topic change flood. Only users in your notify and protect list will be protected if such flood occurs, and only if you have enabled that option.
