Respect Channel Privacy

[CPT. Homie]

This has been happening several times lately in some of the private channels that I am in by several #efu participants.


   [indent] *** joined #secretgroupchannelname
   *** left #secretgroupchannelname [/indent]


I would like to publicly ask and urge anyone doing this to stop sleuthing channel participants through some WhoIs function. It is obtrusive as #%$K.

Yes, channels can be hidden etc. but as this is usually not the case, simply show some respect towards other people's privacy in private rooms.

Why not publicly out those who you think are doing this?  We can't control IRC, but we can make those that abuse it accountable.

Though I would suggest contacting players personally to make sure they weren't just testing the channel to see what the deal was with a faction.

I've jumped onto forums just to see what the faction was about.  I don't always engage or ask questions, I just want to see how everyone gets along and what the faction is about.

/msg Chanserv set  #secretgroupchannelname +s

makes the channel actually secret, since any joker who does a /whois command on somebody in a non-secret channel will know immediately every channel that they're in.
