1255308 - be more lenient towards message flooding in #firefox (load m_kicknorejoin)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: Infrastructure: IRC, task)

Description

[:glob ✱]

it isn't uncommon for someone new to irc to paste multiple lines into #firefox
this results in an immediate kick and ban from the server, which is kind of harsh.

a quick chat with ashish revealed the possibility of kicking instead of banning, with a 60 second ban on a rejoin after a kick.

ie.  /mode #firefox +trnjfSBJ 4:2 5:4 60


unfortunately it appears the m_kicknorejoin module isn't loaded, so the mode J is rejected.


would it be possible for this module to be loaded?


thanks!

as always i found a typo immediately after submission.  this results in a kick and ban from the _channel_.
these bans do not automatically expire.

m_kicknorejoin will be enabled in the window for upgrades.

i tried to set the mode on #firefox, but, alas: "Missing mode: J"
