Detection types

There are two kind of detections:

Individual floods: are the most common types of flood, involving floods from one user. Options controlling these detections exist in the configuration as the name of the flood type (e.g. config plugins.attackprotector.{join,message,etc.}).

grouped floods: are floods from several nicks. Their names in the configuration are the flood type, prepended by ‘group’ (e.g. config plugins.attackprotector.group{join,message,etc.}).

Of course, the detection value of group floods should be greater than the individual floods’.

Punishment types

For each flood type, you can define a punishment. More common are ban, kick, or kban. You also can define modes, such as the default punishment for group joins: mode+i, which sets the mode +i. You can also remove a mode, with the syntax mode-i, or set/unset modes to the user, with mode-v’ or ‘mode+v. For a complete list of available modes, see your IRC network’s help pages or try /quote help.

For ban and kban, you can also add a timeout this way: ban+X and kban+X, where X is the number of seconds.
