Summary0001417: No msg throttle for classes
DescriptionCould it be possible to set a flag or likewise for a class that would make it not obey the normal text throttle (i.e you can only type 1 line/sec) like the ircops.

This, I can sorta see the sense in... But it would make extra configuration work... So whats the sense? Perhaps an optional thing in the class definitions? Perhaps the unrealircd.conf should have a section for defining class conenctions (oper, admin, user, etc.) with this stuff defined in that bit?

eg

class opers {
  throttle="1[1s]";
}

Now i know it is a crappy example... but it works. So then in the (is it Y:Line?) you could set up the class allows...

Sorry, make a passworded I:Line for the opers and a normal I:Line for the users...

allow {
    ip *@*;
    hostname *@*;
    class clients;
    userclass users;
    maxperip 5;
};

/* Passworded allow line */
allow {
    ip *@255.255.255.255;
    hostname *@*.acenet.com.au;
    class clients;
    password "f00Ness";
    userclass opers;
    maxperip 2;
};

Or something... Beh. Sorry about the Y:Line... Havent worked on a conf in a while ;)

So from the above (sorry for the flood, guess I should consolidate my ideas)

We create individual classes for different types of users (opers, users, admins) and have characteristics set to those classes... such as throttle, errr... Other misc stuff like that. Opinions anyone?

rejected ;)
This is way too dangerous (users are dumb), IMO if you allow them to flood at full-speed they are almost as powerful as opers anyway! And making it more complex (like X lines per X sec) is not possible like that (we use a totally different floodformula which I don't want to change), or at least not worth the effort.
I don't want to support things like this.
