| Summary | 0002819: Request for 'fake lag' overriding by non-oper | ||||
| Description | Abstract: A new usermode (+F?) or an exception block in the .conf that would allow a non-Global Operator to override the built in 'fake lag'. Feature is requested to allow custom coded non-U:Lined service bots to be used on the network. | ||||
| 3rd party modules | |||||

I think this feature would be a very good idea, because not all "flooding" is illegitimate/unwanted. as chasingsol said, this could be especially useful for "extra services" that do not run on a U:Line'd server, without needing a global oper (+o), but require that a lot of data be sent in a short ammount of time. (msg flood) edit: to clarify, a user mode +F or similar would not be setable by the user, only by a services admin +, and if done by a config value then, auto setting +F when matching the host would make sense too :) |

Was added in 3.2.4: - Added FAKELAG_CONFIGURABLE option in include/config.h, this enables an option called class::options::nofakelag, which disables "fake lag" for a certain class (that is: the artificial delay introduced by the ircd to prevent flooding is turned off, allowing the user to flood at full speed). IT'S USE IS DISCOURAGED UNLESS YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. Sorry, option is not in ./Config -advanced since I don't get autoconf working, but it's such a scary option that this might as well be a good idea to keep in config.h anyway. This feature has been suggested for several years (and refused), but the final suggestion (with implementation specific hints) came from Gilou in bug 0002207. But not as a umode. Actually I've never been a fan of adding this, honestly... In either case, you can use this :P |

thanks for the info, i wont be using this as a main irc server or anything :P will be a separate (private) server for a few bots only, and these bots will throttle themselves anyways, just not as much as what the fake lag would :) |
