There are two rationales for this behavior. The first is quite simple--users on the channel are supposed to be on the channel. If they weren't, they'd have been kicked by now (especially now with the NetRider code). The second is also quite simple--it is extremely difficult to send two different mode strings to two different sets of clients. This means our current rules are like so: Join a channel, issue /mode #channel--key appears as "*" Join a channel, get ops, issue /mode #channel--proper key appears Sit on channel, +k is set by netburst--key appears as "*" Sit on channel, +k is set by user--proper key appears Notice that the latter two have no dependance on who is and is not an oper. -- Kevin L.
