Fakelag exemption is not working
Often people think fakelag exemption is not working. Even if they are IRCOp their messages are still being throttled / slowed down. If you are an IRCOp and you are seeing your messages being throttled then this is NOT done by UnrealIRCd. It is your client. Yes, really it is your client. Almost every IRC client throttles sending of messages and commands on their side, including but not limited to mIRC, irssi, KVIRC, eggdrop, etc. They do this as a protection mechanism. How to disable this throttling depends on your client and in quite some cases it is even quite difficult to do so.
