Script Details
Flood Protection helps keep your chatroom readable by automatically detecting members who repeatedly send the same message over and over in a short period of time.
When a user repeatedly posts the same message, Sentry will first issue a friendly warning asking them to stop. If the behaviour continues, the user is automatically muted for a short period. Once the mute expires, Sentry will unmute them automatically.
If the user continues flooding the room after being muted, Sentry escalates the action by temporarily banning them from the chatroom, helping to protect conversations without requiring constant staff intervention.
Flood Protection is fully configurable, allowing you to choose how many repeated messages trigger the protection, the time window used for detection, warning messages, mute and ban durations, and whether hosts and room staff should be ignored.
This script is designed exclusively for the NatterFly Sentry Next Generation Chat Manager and is not compatible with the original Enforcer client.
