CNOTICE and CPRIVMSG bypass the anti-spam checking, not the flood limit
check. The flood limit is applied long before the commands in the receive
queue are even parsed, much less interpreted; if your receive queue grows
above CLIENT_FLOOD, you're disconnected for "Excess Flood."

Should probably be "target limit checks" for increased clarity; the check
bypassed is the target change check, and it's intended to stop spammers
from just mass-/msg'ing everyone on the net.
