This came to cservice, and I know this topic has come up before. Is there a hard code fix for this? Could and should there be? Yes this is primarily a problem with Mirc users but it's a common "exploit" of Undernet's services. It seems people have now found a new use for this, spamming to get innocent channels in trouble with cservice and IRCops. stoney`
