My concern would be that although at any given time there may not be a spam campaign that we notice, it would require keeping a close eye on IRC lest it be flooded when no one with the power to stop it is around. I know when we enabled the option to require registration, Freenode was having a huge spam attack.
I've disabled the need to register for now and will keep an eye on whether we're buried in spam. - Steve ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Sunday, June 2, 2019 4:30 PM, Arne Babenhauserheide <arne_...@web.de> wrote: > > > Nicolas hernandeznicolas.hernan...@aleph-networks.com writes: > > > at one time there was a simple support channel and 'real time' for novice > > users who are accessing Freenet for the first time. > > Alas, today, apparently, the possibility of webchat via irc is no longer > > possible, in any case, it now faces an authentication request that makes > > the operation more complex and may be unsuitable (authentication).
