Okay @freenodestaff, we all know a bunch of morons are spamming everyone via privmsg. Why haven't they been blocked yet? The most trivial content filter would work here. If you do not have such a capability, why not? It's 2018. Configurable spam filters are not optional.
I totally get that they can change the messages and yada yada, but so far I've seen zero countermeasures. They're literally copying and pasting the same message repeatedly to channels and users. It's trivial to block that exact content. You should have deployable regex filters.
Same should be done for "mass pings" using more than just a handful of names should never be necessary. Also rate limiting should be done on both freenode and quakenet.
Back then (~10 years ago) I was oper on a rather big Italian IRC network and message filtering *used sparingly* was extremely effective against serial spammers. But we also got A LOT of flak from users because "you are monitoring all our messages, you creeps!" *sigh*
hell, split the network in two and route between the sides with a spam filter. Too many duplicate msgs => killed
this might also require obscuring which servers people are on to prevent evasion
freenode opers are ideologically opposed to message content based spam filters. No, I'm not kidding. That's what they told me.
Sigh.
it's not ideal, but setting mode to +R is a good temporary measure.
