Hi,

yet nick flooding is still possible. _At least_ with some clones that are  
changing its nicks a few times or so... (== i don't consider the penalty  
system to be effective enough against nick-floods).

I'll check this out and add the appropriate changes...

Bye, Kasi

PS I don't see any reason why anyone should be allowed to change his/her
   nick up to three times within a few seconds. It only causes traffic.
   And 3 changes per 30 secs doesn't seem enough effective for me to
   prevent nick-flooding from clones... but anyway.. :)
