Summary0004925: Delay for /LIST and Private Messages
DescriptionThe official unrealircd IRC has been getting attacked by bots, as-well as many people who run an unrealircd daemon. Most of the bots will crawl across channels from the /list output and then PM spam all the users on the channels making a large amount of query windows open and cause a bunch of notifications.

A simple delay that can be configured in the config to make suers wait x amount of time before they can do /list or PM would mitigate this greatly.

I know 3rd party modules exist, but these are not official and not everyone even knows these modules exist.
TagsNo tags attached.

I believe there is indeed some 3rd party module for that (/LIST anyway). I wouldn't mind seeing it integrated in UnrealIRCd.

Since 5.0.0-alpha3 (or 2?) we have this.
