I hope most of the kids will stop splitride at least if they see the
server doesn't give up anymore on split. I also hope it will stop most
of the DoS which is sortof high lately. If you think it will penalise
'normal' users you are wrong, they can still chat modeless. The idea is
to make local users "restricted like" for a temporary time. It's for
people who are fed up with DoS like Asu who just don't like to give
anything possible DoS _coming from their_ server. And imho an oper
server should give i:-lines only anyways.
