Re: !-Channels and the +a Flag

I know this discussion stopped a month ago :)

-> It does give you a warning that it's not "securely" enforced.
-> 
-> Some commands like MODE, KICK and TOPIC will show the nick (and
-> possbile userhost). Others like JOIN, PART and PRIVMSG will not show it.

the only ppl who you can kick/deop are those that got opped :)

+a/+r combination is kinda lame; don't allow servers use +r when +a is in
progress;

imho -a shouldn't be unset once it's set.

-> Also note that some patch (+topic) might suddenly show who set the topic
-> even if we would change it so that it showed anonymous to change it.
