Unfortunately this could lead to a compromise of the masking. For one, there are still clients that may join on invite. Would-be attackers can disguise a request for a specific user to join a specific channel as a mass-message spam (if spam didn't "work," people wouldn't do it). Joining a channel has never been all that formal of a procedure on IRC, especially joining one you've been invited to, so I don't agree that it should have this type of consequence. -- Daniel Reed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -> From Garance [@vcc], to ACM: - yeah, but if you're trying to cheer up JSF, all you need is the beer... naim FAQ: http://128.113.139.111/~n/naim/FAQ
