Other questions
Refinement of channel namespace policy change
Following up on the channel namespace policy change we discussed in June,
we decided to further refine it.
We added wording about channels with confusingly similar names to other
channels, as well as a clearer recommendation when we recommend # vs. ##
channels.
The resulting change has since been published on the website.
A user mode for IRC bots
We discussed an initial proposal to add a server-side mechanism to can mark individual connections as IRC bots, as well as interactions with channel moderation and the client protocol. We decided not to move forward with the proposal yet, awaiting further discussion and refinement.
