A lot of users are experiencing flooding via the CTCP Version
Reply.

Everything else can be "Halt" except for the CTCP Version hence its been exploited.

Also it would be good if mIRC itself puts the users on ignore once ctcp threshold has been reached ( global as flooders use multiple hosts and nicks )

-Thanks

From my experience, mIRC does stop replying if so many ctcp's (not only version requests) are recieved in a certain time, and ctcp replies is also an option in the "Flood protection" dialog .

mIRC will -only- send one (1) VERSION reply in a ten (10) second period.

You cannot be flooded off for sending less than 5 messages in a 1 second period.


Well. At least I won lunch.
Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!

Find out if your server supports blocking of CTCP with usermodes. If so it is the most efficient way to deal with the problem.
