i didn't test it yet, since I've never worked with CVS
but reading the documentation on vulnscan I'm not quite sure where the difference is between the +f flag j and the new mode +j - since both are limiting joins per second in a way...

From the changelog:
Added channelmode +j (jointhrottle), syntax: /mode #chan +j X:Y, and then it will
throttle the number of joins per-user to X in Y seconds. Idea from Angrywolf (who
wrote a module that did this before). This needs testing
.
It's enabled by default but can be #undef'ed in include/config.h (line 449).
Angrywolf's description:
Channel mode +j: sets a join flood protection on users. Syntax: /mode #chan +j <joins>:<seconds>, meaning that users are allowed to join #chan <joins> times in <seconds> seconds. If users exceed the limit, their join attempt will be throttled.
That really needs to be documented better...

Actually I think the unfinished release notes description (not the one you pasted) is just fine:
Code: Select all
- Channel mode +j (jointhrottle). If you set +j X:Y you limit each user (individually)
to X joins per Y seconds to the channel.
Other descriptions tend to get pretty lengty...

so "+f j" is setting some blocking modes (whatever is set)
and +j just don't let them in
is this right?

right.
the main difference is that +f j is global (on all users), +j is per-user/individually :P.

I take full responsibility for this one, because I submitted the "+j - join throttling (per-user basis)" bit some time ago...
