M-: (require 'erc) RET
C-h v erc-accidental-paste-threshold-seconds RET

This indicate that erc-accidental-paste-threshold-seconds is nil by
default.  A common beginner mistake is to accidentaly paste text into
ERC.  Setting this variable may prevent many of these mistakes (Like I
did, reason of this report).

Whatever you choose, I'm grateful for your attention.

I think it's not uncommon to paste a couple of lines in at once, so I
think defaulting to anything but zero here would be a disservice.

What we want to avoid is flooding channels, and `erc-flood-protect'
defaults to t, so I think we're covered.
