In the client I use for room administration (Psi), there's an Owners List, an Admins List, a Members List, and a Banned List. I assume that if I add someone to one of the lists, they're no longer on any of the others. I'd also assume that if I remove someone from a list, they're not automatically added to another list (i.e., affiliation='none'). However I would consider it reasonable in a members-only room for removal from the Owners List or the Admins List to result in adding that person to the Members List. In that regard members-only rooms are somewhat special, I think. Peter -- Peter Saint-Andre https://stpeter.im/
