I know this is a bit outdated but using a new line command (i.e. $&) instead of a notice or echo command will cut down on flood outs. Put it all on one line like:

notice $nick The Poll commands are: $& !poll <question> - starts a poll. Ex: !poll Im i cool? $& !addoption <number> <option> - This will add an option. You can add up to 5 options. Ex: !addoption 1 Yes $& !remoption <number> - Will remove the requested option. $& !vote <number> - Vote on the option you like the most. $& !options - Shows all the available options $& !results - Shows you the current results of the poll $& !todaypoll - Shows you the current poll. $& !haltpoll - Stops the current poll $& !lockpoll - Locks option adding $& !unlockpoll - Unlocks option adding
