[IRCServices] Major fizzer worm problem

[Fireman]

We are also one of the targets and we had been glining them.  But what we
noticed was that the roughly 7000 glines we had set were causing the cpu
processes to run up higher than normal and was actually causing a bigger
problem.  What we decided to do was to just stop banning them and see how
things go.  So far we have noticed less cpu usage and less bandwidth usage.
It's basically a "lesser of two evils" approach.
