Maybe I missed something in the docs (I double checked), but I can't seem to get the flood filter to ban my.

Activate is green and to the right (I assume this means 'ON')
Duration: 1440
Max flood attempts: 1
Time Before Banning: 1
Ban Message: Too much flooding
Ban Mode:Name
Log flooding: Green (to right)
Request Filters: Public Message / 2 per sec

So I tested the bad words filter-- Dark (to the left) means on, and Green (to the right) means off (seems awfully backwards to me).

At any rate, I put the flooding filter to Dark (to the left), and it still isn't working-- but banned words is.

To turn on an option the switch must be set to the light green. Dark green means --> feature off.
What server version do you use?

1) The filter must be active and in "blacklist" mode.
2) Rooms must specify if they use the bad words filter or not. Public messages depend on this setting, because they are "confined" to a specific Room, while Private messages are governed by the Zone setting because they are not confined to a specific Room.

Bottom line: if you expect the filter to work on Public messages make sure the Room is configured to use the filter.
