DYNLIMIT
Syntax: SET DYNLIMIT <string>
Value: Control string, default value 90:10:4

Control values for the dynamic channel limit (+l) feature. The settings are in the format `delay:window:minimum'. `Delay' is the number of seconds between each time the limit is checked and updated. Normally it is checked every 90 seconds (1 1/2 minute). The `window' is part of how the limit is calculated. Each time limit is checked, the mech takes the number of users on the channel (for example 50) and divides that number with the `window' value (example: 50 users/10 = 5). This window value is then used so that the limit matches current number of users + the calculated window value (example: 50 users / 10 = 5, 5 + 50 = max 55). If the calculated window value is below the minimum, the minimum value is used instead, so that the limit always allows for a minimum number of users to join.

Value: 0|1|on|off, default value is 0 (off)

Enable or disable enforcing channel modes.

FPL
Syntax: SET FPL <number>
Value: 0 - 2 punishment level, default value is 0

This setting controls what kind of punishment will be used when users are caught text-flooding (see the FL setting).
