Sbp didn't notice a thing! 02:06:55 anyway, there's a bit of a Simpsons marathon tomorrow, so I'd better be going 02:06:57 Hints and tips on the new server code. (1) +b should now always override +q channel modes. So if you need to ban someone, it will override a 'quiet'. Try not to overuse it. 8) 02:07:04 * AaronSw waves 02:07:08 hi aaron 02:07:11 ffs! 02:07:13 don't forget: this channel is logged! I'll know if yall've been cheating 02:07:29 like I just did 02:07:35 the REMOVE command is now no longer an "experimental" command. Format is the same as KICK: /quote remove #channel nick :reason 02:07:49 hello. i deleted webobjects, yet my retrospect operation still has not completed 02:08:07 heh, heh 02:08:10 but what does REMOVE do? 02:08:22 same as kick, perhaps? :-) 02:08:30 anyway... 02:08:31 Gotta engage myself in a forwards motion, moving with swift steps 02:08:36 maybe it's a kickban 02:08:37 :-) 02:08:40 [erm, consider that (2) :)] REMOVE does a part with a uniquely identifiable part message, instead of telling the user they've been KICKed. If you need to remove someone from a channel, try using REMOVE. It's a lot less disruptive. 02:09:07 Um, ok... 02:09:11 oops 02:09:26 shoot, i lost so soon 02:10:14 (3) We've added a channel mode, +g, which affects the semantics of the INVITE command. Without +g the behavior is RFC1459-compliant; only channel operators can INVITE. With +g turned on, you get the old behavior, and anyone on the channel can INVITE. So take your pick. :) 02:11:23 :) 02:11:53 It can be very easy to hit that letter withnot noticing it 02:12:11 maybe sbp will forgive me 02:12:29 * AaronSw tries to find a way to +g the channel 02:12:39 It's also worth noting that it should no longer be possible to INVITE someone before the channel goes +i and have the invitation persist.
