Re: IRCD Query Delay

[Timothee Besset <ttimo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would be interested in getting such code features done myself. Services
don't flood, but I have common situations of IRC operator and particular
clients exchanging data, and I would want better control over flood issues
in those situations.

If you have suggestions / pointers / patches for better flood control in
ircd, please let me know.

Regards,
TTimo
