Too much overhead for the IRC servers and not really needed - if people don't
like the colours most clients will allow them to be stripped off. And
reducing the number of bans for using colours isn't really someting we're
concerned with - people should just learn to respect the rules of channels
they go in.
Yeah but sometimes clients tend to lock up @ the sight of mIRC code
Increadibly limited use not to mention esoteric. I can't see it being
accepted on Undernet. Adding a new channel mode which will get used on one
channel on the whole network doesn't make any real sense. In general if we
want to make a channel oper only, we just set it +i like anyone else would
when they want to control who gets in.
I guess you're right...That one was a request put in by someone else

What if we had a mode +c (this is an example btw), for no mIRC colors?
Before sending messages to the channel, it would check for mIRC
colors...and strip them if +c was enabled. This would prevent a lot of
bans from occurring...

Another idea: A mode +o (yet again example letter), for Opers Only? If
some net/server wants to have a #staff channel or a #meeting channel or
something, they could include +o so only Opers could join...Now I know
