Flooding Filter

Often times users of a chat will cause disruption by using profanity or by sending a high density of messages to the room to hijack the chat window.  Through the use of language filters (described in more detail in the Language Filters section) and flooding filters, common abuse behaviors can be suppressed and handled.

ElectroServer allows the creation of custom named flooding filters through the web-based administrator.  When creating a flooding filter, certain parameters can be created to detect flooding.  The flooding filter of choice is applied to a room during the room creation process.  The action to take (such as kicking the user) is also established upon room creation.
