i was wondering if there's such things as limit the data that being sent by the user etc: if in a normal chat user might send say about 1.5Kb (just for the sake of example) if a flooder comes in and started to send 2.5Kb or higher . Can the ircd detect it and take actions such as kill or something ? Think of it as a flood protection thingy :) . Thank you for any comments or opinions

class::recvq.

From the docs:
recvq specifies the amount of data which can be in the receive queue and is used for flood control (this only applies to normal users, try experimenting with values 3000-8000, 8000 is the default).
