Summary0001581: Feature Request: Channel Guard Command
DescriptionA new command to quickly set some protective modes on a channel, should the occasional lamer (and flooder crew) join up....
The modes would include +ntmsiKVMTNRf *3:2
Additional InformationI've used a mIRC script to do that command for a while now and it's pretty effective. Problem is, not everyone can download my script (or knows how to use ones), and for WebTV users, fixing flooders is a nightmare when theres no PC users nearby (that have ops or is an IRCop).

I don't think this is needed. If we add this, then there will be hundreds of other such things people will request:

"mIRC has /hop, but not everyone uses mIRC, so make /hop in Unreal"
"mIRC has /ban so that you can just /ban nick instead of having to use /mode, so add that to Unreal"
"mIRC has a kick ban feature, I think Unreal should have a command to do a kick ban"

etc. These are the kinds of things modules were made for.

Well... my request wasnt a mIRC command.... it was for a feature to help increase protection for webbies... and users of any client for that matter. I would think that such a module would be easy to code for u ppl who have already written such an immense program. If you could find it in your hearts to help out a net (and probably more than just one) who has frequent problems with flooders (which degrades performance, and ties up the opers), i would greatly appreciate it.

And my answer was "no." This feature has no place in the Unreal core. If someone wants to make a module for it, then that's another story.
