sending notices like this is really ugly and kludgy, and i
do not want to encourage such thing.
it's the same old problem.. how do yo know who invited
someone on a +i channel? you don't.

As many probably recall, this feature was briefly discussed
on ircd-users before i added it into the server.  At the time
(April 1998), about half the people thought it'd be great,
and the other half thought it'd be awful.
the fact alone that I had to add such a kludge was probably a
bad sign i should have paid attention to.

Anyway, 2.10 has been around for quite a while now, and it's
probably a good idea to poll the list again and see what
people feel.

"It was an interesting experiment; has it failed? should we
revert the change and not have chanop /invite override bans?"

I tend to think so.
