When will you people get the message ? Colours are a CLIENT thing and are therefor not suppose to be filtered by the server. If you don't like colours then simply have your client strip them. What you don't see won't bother you, right ?
Highly experienced coders have said several times it would use too much cpu and even if it wouldn't, the fact remains colours are a client problem. Colours were introduced by clients and therefor should be handled by them. If this is allowed we might aswell start adding other modes for every other extension some client coder decides to add to his client. Imo there are more important features to spend cputime on. +c is certainly not one of those. Next we'll have people asking for a channel mode to ban swearing or funny non-regular characters like some scripts love to use. Ircu is only suppose to relay. What you do with that data is your concern. /Gen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Scott" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Coder-Com] New Mode Ideas..should I include them in patch? > What if we made IRCu use less CPU space?
