- Not the point moron, in your responce you made an example which breaks
- irc protocol. Yes NickServ can be flooded, but only by Clueless dorks who
- feel obliged to break the protocol, and whinge and whine when they are
- given information on what they are doing wrong.
-
- Since you wont read help files and manuals and learn how to use
- software, but you reald alt.irc.. maybe this might help..
- its from the IRCII2.2beta1 help files.

- ---[ begin included section ]---
-
- Usage: ON [+|-|^|#|&|@]NOTICE [-|^]<nicknames> [action]
- This is activated whenever you receive a NOTICE from someone.
- The parameters for the action are as follows:
- $0 nickname of person who sent the NOTICE
- $1- The message
-
- Warning: If you attempt to send a MSG from within a MSG
- action, it will be automatically converted to a NOTICE, as
- this will prevent MSG loops from being sent between two or
- more users. Also, you will not be permitted to send either
- MSGs or NOTICEs from within a NOTICE action. The irc protocol
- states that NOTICEs may not generate automatic replies so this
- will prevent loops of automatic messages from flooding the net.

-
- if you post something which shows a blatent disregard for
- irc.protocol, expect to get flamed for it, regardless of
- thread or subject title you decide to post it under. The current
- title "Stupidity of the lambs !" seems to suggest all your stupidity may
- be discussed here.
