SOmetimes if the server thinks you have switched channels too fast then it will tempban you. I saw the ban message com in, and according to what you saw youll be able to get back on in under 5 minutes. No problems.

nope.

We had a problem for awhile with TS spammers. Someone would load up a program that caused them to connect and disconnect several times every second. This spammed the channel with a bunch of "joined" "left" messages and made it impossible to talk. To solve this problem Icon put pretty strict "excess flood" limits.

Results = no more spammers but sometimes good members have to wait for 5 minutes if they click a little too fast.
