Why doesn't eggdrop always kick channel flooders?

Post by floin »

I'm just curious, is it normal that eventhough the bot has channel text flood protection enabled it doesn't always kick when there's a flood?

I have two bots, both set on 11:80 flood-chan and both of them normally kick flooders without trouble, but for example, last night someone pasted 20 lines in less than 30 seconds and neither of my bots did anything. The flooder doesn't have any flags on either bot and the bots didn't seem to lag much at the time.

Anyone know why this is happening?

Your channel banlist is full. Clear it.

PS: NOT ChanServ akick list.

No, the banlist is almost empty. Only two bans and not much more stuff in invites, excepts etc either. The channel is on IRCnet and both bots are only on 2-4 channels there.

Could it be that if the lines are too close to each other, like 5 per second, the bot somehow can't count them as efficiently?

it's more likely YOU didn't count the lines correctly, not your bots ;)

but if you did, a server-to-server lag or/and desync is the only possible culprit
