* status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: I don't think it's technically feasible to accomplish this. The IRC channels are restricted to registered users using a `CMODE` ([https://oftc.net/ChannelModes/ channel mode]) like `+R`, which says: > ''R - client may join only when registered and identified to NickServ'' There's no way to do exceptions to this based on host masks, which is how, I assume, we'd detect people coming from Matrix, but even that is unclear to me. So while I understand where you're coming from, I don't think this is actually feasible. One thing that *could* work slightly better is setting the channels `+M` (''client may speak only when registered and identified to NickServ'') and then maybe `+v` (''voiced'') would allow operators to apply exceptions for certain users. But then we need operators to pay attention to joins, and that's unlikely to work... Anyways, sorry about this, but I don't know how else to fix this. Note that it's possible for users to register with OFTC from Matrix. It's a little inconvenient, but it's possible, so that limitation can be worked around by users themselves. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/30717#comment:4> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
