InspIRCd v4 is still early in development!

If you use this branch you may experience crashes, weird behaviour, and unannounced breaking changes.

You probably want to use InspIRCd v3 instead.

The "silence" Module (v4)

maxentries Number 32 The maximum number of entries that can be on a /SILENCE list.
Example Usage
