EggDrop Flood-Protection

How can I lower the global "msg-flood" for users without adding them to the user-file and giving them flags?

The prob is: I wrote a script to "communicate" with the bot by Query, which every user should be able to use.
But when testing it, it always tells me "Flood from ...@...." (my hostmask).

So, how can I lower the values, telling the bot, when it's a "flood"?

# Set here how many msgs in how many seconds from one host constitutes
# a flood. If you set this to 0:0, msg flood protection will be disabled.
set flood-msg 5:60

straight from the .conf

So it wasn't that easy with my eggdrop...
It goes online, joins the channel and kicks me when I'm writing 5 lines in 10 seconds.
So I set the value flood-kick and flood-chan to 0, set-global-floods to 0, but it still kicks me. With no value set. I deleted the lines for the kicks, still kicks me. (I always tried 2 rehash and reboot the bot)
I opened the dynamic-channel-file and found what? Right! 'flood-chan 5:10' !! I changed it to 0, saved the file, and guess what happened. It kicked me.
Please, can anyone tell me, what important entry I forgot or something? That's really frustrating...

use .chanset to change things.. chanfile overrides the conf.. and i doubt you can edit the chanfile while the bot is running... you rehash\restart it will resave it.. plus there is no reason to edit a chanfile.. thats what chanset command is for
