Hub Flooders

I need some advice as how to limit or stop this kind of hub flood:

05:44:17] <wemm7ltje2q> Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of.

[05:44:18] *** Parts: wemm7ltje2q

[05:44:22] <joop2oopq> Man is the only animal that blushes -- or needs to.

[05:44:27] <koischkoisch> I'm writing a book. I've got the page numbers done.

[05:44:34] <piitpiitq> If corn oil comes from corn, where does baby oil come from?

[05:44:35] *** Parts: piitpiitq

random nicks and ips, so banning all the ips is not a real option

we are a small hub, so going private is not a great option either

any help is greatly appreciated

so far the spammer dont use self reg ... so most hubs have a way to block Private message's for unreged users.

yn-hub ptokax shadow based hubs the all can run into semi publick mode ... user need to reg at the hub itself before the can use all functions like sending a PM.

[edit] WHOOPS this item looks to be main chat spam and not PM [/edit]

ok to add more info, I am using Ptokax as you can see in my sig. I have the anti-flood settings turned on in the hubsoft. We do not let users self reg.

The anti-flood settings you seem to be talking about, are one users sending many message within a certain period of time? What was being suggested was that you go "semi-private", basically people can;t make messages in main chat, or send PMs to other users without being registered.

then how do they ask to be regged?

The bot could PM the users givining them an ICQ or other way for registration. Also, upon connect, they could see the contact details of the OPs in MOTD or in the welcome message. Awkward, but a way.
