By default, it has no effect. But when you enable it by setting the
variable erc-accidental-paste-threshold-seconds to a numeric value, it
indeed prevents pasting of multi-line text.

If people ignore the variable, everything will work as it always has.
Only by deliberately setting this variable will people see a change in
Emacs' behavior.

It's not yanking we're talking about; it's "pasting". Pasting is
relevant only when emacs is in console mode (I should probably have
said something about that in the patch). When I say "pasting", I mean
selecting some text in another application, then focusing _your
console program in which Emacs is running_, and then pressing the
middle mouse button (or shift+insert, or whatever). From emacs' point
of view, "pasting" is indistinguishable from ordinary, albeit rapid,
typing. That is why my patch is based on the time between calls to
erc-send-current-line: I can't think of any other way to distinguish
an accidental paste from ordinary typing.
