Ok, first of all I would like to say that I know credit should be given where credit is due. Also that mIRC is a wonderful IRC client and in my opinion the best client for Windows.
But unfortunately the inability disable or atleast put a timer on the version reply has been used to leverage drone attacks on IRC networks and their users....
So my suggestion is in the next version of mIRC, add an anti-flood option specifically for the version reply that works on a timed basis. Maybe only allow it to send one version reply every 30 seconds or something... The way it is now, drones can have a field day with it. The flood protection for CTCP's just isn't enough.
If someone has a working solution to this problem already, please reply and let me know.
Thanks,
-Ed
