That is correct Tide, unfortunately, I don't believe that leaving the chat will help with join/leave spam, as with the attack last night. Also, I agree with Twist, perhaps something could be added to the OP that instructs people not to attack/be disrespectful to/insult/etc. the spammer(s) as, for one, just because they are spamming does not mean that you shouldn't treat them with respect just like all of the other people on the server, and for another, talking back to the spammer(s) and insulting him/her/them could make matters worse, in more ways than one. Particularly for the fact that whomever is doing it is, more than likely, partly looking for a response, which, if you're talking back at them, insulting them, berating them, etc., they'll probably just keep going, if not get worse about it, because you happen to be giving them exactly what they want, and they're thoroughly enjoying it too. It would generally be best to simply ignore them and calmly report them, /ignore them, /ch g leave, etc.
