sentinel.tcl won't ignore a flood except from users that are opped. The logic is that if sentinel ignored floods from hosts that simply matched recognised users, a flooder who spoofed the hosts of those users could freely flood the channel. I don't know how likely this scenario is today, but the decision was made at some point to make sure this didn't become a hole that could be exploited.

An option could be added to change this behaviour, but I'm not active enough on the script's development to add it at present.
