When a spammer hits in-game, our mods are usually able to take care of it within a few seconds. The problem is that now CraftIRC has 3,000 messages backlogged and it'll faithfully spit them out at your configured rate-limit delay until it's caught up, making IRC totally unusable until it either runs out of messages after a half hour or somebody reloads the whole server.

I think the solutions to this would be one of:

- Detect duplicate messages in the queue and don't send them (configurable option maybe)
- Allow a way for mods/admins to clear out the queue completely
