souleman > true, setting a limit prevents them from getting in, its really more of a temporary thing to do just to get things stable to start going about a better solution. After setting a limit, I would think the best thing to do would be set +i, kick/kill the bots from the channel, the start inviting the valid users. Not a very fun thing to do, as it requires someone to be around at all times during the duration of the +i to let people in, unless someone was so inclined to write a script for a eggdrop to invite users who are +r into the channel, but thats provided you even run services on the server.

I should have mentioned that part of the tutorial only really applied to admins and opers, since as you pointed out regular chanops cant seen the full whois on a user.
