[Channel flood protection by default](https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Channel_anti-flood_settings): This is an important change that IRCOps and chanops should know about: * By default we now apply the anti-flood profile "normal", which should be fine for most channels. * If a chanop does not want this they can override this by setting `MODE +F` with [another profile](https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Channel_anti-flood_settings#Channel_mode_F_profiles). * For example, for a channel with hundreds of users and lots of activity `+F relaxed` may be more appropriate. Or, chanops can turn anti-flood off entirely by setting `+F off` * The reason for this change is that many admins and chanops in practice don't seem to use `+f` or `+F`. With this change they are now protected "by default" when no MODE `+f` or `+F` is set. * Advanced users can can grab the detailed effective settings with `MODE #test F`
