up_the_irons: nathani: thanks to mercutio , [FBI] is now logging again. :)
mercutio: thanks for registering that nick and getting the bot back up and running here :) mercutio: i didn't even consider removing the need to register nicks
so much spam these days!
now y'all have no excuse to not talk more again :) up_the_irons: I removed it a little while ago, but the spam came back, so...
It's kinda amazing that our logs to back to 2009
almost 10 years! mercutio: yeah
irc was a selling point when i first came here :) up_the_irons: :)
Wish we didn't lose like 20 members just by going +r
wonder if we go -r, note anyone (legit) new who joins, then ask them to register mercutio: can we make it so people can join but not talk if not registered maybe mhoran: It does give you a message but nobody reads them ***: ziyourenxiang has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 250 seconds) brycec: wb [FBI]
mercutio: That is an option, their messages would still be delivered to / seen by anyone with +o. It gets really confusing though (as an op) because there's no indication that the person talking cannot be seen by others so to me and [FBI] it looks like a very one-sided conversation. (It works well paired with a "need voice to speak" kind of room.) mercutio: i see...
how can we tell if someone is registered or not?
it maybe that we could get [fbi] to check if the user is registered and say specifically to them when they come in (cos no-one reads the topic) ***: kellytk has joined #arpnetworks
mjp2 has quit IRC (Quit: leaving) mhoran: Freenode already does that right now.
If you try to join a channel as an unregistered user you get a message telling you that you need to register
If that doesn't work, a bot isn't going to work either. mercutio: ah ok ***: mjp2 has joined #arpnetworks up_the_irons: true
I just did a /whois on you mercutio , and I don't see any indication that you're registered. So, yeah, not sure how to see that... mercutio: yeah i tried /whois'ing myself too ***: mjp2 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 272 seconds)
