Agreed. If the restriction is removed, I would be much less inclined to join the channel.
I stopped joining #reactos for a reason… Ged. From: Ros-dev [mailto:ros-dev-boun...@reactos.org] On Behalf Of Hermès BÉLUSCA-MAÏTO Sent: 24 March 2017 15:13 To: 'ReactOS Development List' <ros-dev@reactos.org> Subject: Re: [ros-dev] Opening up #reactos-dev to the public I don’t approve the idea. The fact is that if the devs quit originally #reactos, it’s because it was generally too noisy, etc… . If we remove the moderation irc bit in #reactos-dev, you may expect the same phenomenon to occur in #reactos-dev too.

As you all know, our #reactos-dev IRC channel has been a moderated IRC channel for decades, and only operators (devs) and voiced people can talk. While we always tried to keep discussions dev-related there, no topic has ever been enforced on #reactos. The result is that I see a notable number of developers only on #reactos-dev these days. This is a pretty bad situation! Emerging developers hardly have a way to interact with all existing devs on IRC. Often enough, legitimate questions from them remain unanswered on #reactos. Moreover, we don't maintain the list of voiced people thoroughly, so even some contributors have to ask for temporary voice on #reactos-dev. Keep in mind that we're currently in the GSoC phase where students shall submit their proposals and get in touch with the developers. How are they going to do this on IRC if #reactos-dev continues to be an exclusive club? Because of these reasons, I'm proposing to remove the moderation bit on #reactos-dev and let everybody talk there. Its development topic should be enforced though! As soon as people get too off-topic, they should be directed to #reactos and kicked if nothing else helps. Given that all devs are already operators on #reactos-dev, it's fully in their hands.
