IRC4Fun has successfully implemented and tested the new Channel Mode (+G) that prevents URL and IRC network spam from ever showing to channel users.

When a channel with Channel Mode +G is spammed; channel users will see a censored-warning message. (See below example)

<SurferDude> Hey Do You Like Girls on WebCams?! See more at <censored-URL-spam>
<MollyPitcher> Go To MoonButtIRC – Type /server -m <censored-IRC-spam>

This new Channel Mode can also be combined with a FREE service developped by IRC4Fun Administrators to help combat Spam, Exploits and other annoyances called Defender. Defender will monitor for spam in channels whether the new channel mode is enabled or not. Defender (when invited or assigned to a channel) can G-line (network-wide ban) the Spammers/Exploiters/Other annoying pests. (See below example)

<SurferDude> Hey Do You Like Girls on WebCams?! See more at <censored-URL-spam>
*** SurferDude has quit IRC (User has been banned from IRC4Fun (Mass Advertising/Mass Messaging will NOT be tolerated on IRC4Fun! [G-line ID: MASS_ADS/SPAM 06/30/2009 @ 12:06 URL E90]))
<MollyPitcher> Go To MoonButtIRC – Type /server -m <censored-IRC-spam>
*** MollyPitcher has quit IRC (User has been banned from IRC4Fun (Mass Advertising/Mass Messaging will NOT be tolerated on IRC4Fun! [G-line ID: MASS_ADS/SPAM 06/30/2009 @ 12:07 IRC E90]))
