I wouldn't have to if people would stop helping with lame take-over scripts. IRC is a place to have fun, not a place to annoy the hell out of someone and forcibly take what is not yours. I for one keep that in mind when I help people. I do not provide them with answers to code that can be used or mostly will be used in harmful ways, either to themselves, other users or a IRC network. I was hoping the serious IRC lovers would agree with me there. Guess some people just enjoy harassing others and helping people to harass others.
That said: mass commands generally serve no other purpose than to wreak havoc in a channel (just like "revenge" scripts, which 95% of the IRC population apparantly mistakes for "protection" scripts). His problem was with floodbots. That problem does NOT require you to kick all the users from the channel. Just the bots. You can simply set a +i on the channel to stop the flood.
