As an FYI - In the Infuse community we eventually had problems with trolls coming in via webchat. It was not possible to ban them without banning all webchat users.

Hopefully this won't happen in our channel, but if it does - if you use webchat and get a message that you're banned, try a real IRC client.

If it comes to that we will just set it to needing a +v voice to talk.

Induce a irc bot if needed

Good idea there. The problem for the Infuse channels was that the registered owner disappeared as soon as he was donated a device.

That is pretty crappy. I'll also set it to answer common questions.

Yeah. Never donate to razor950 - he's now got a long track record of receiving device donations then disappearing immediately.

Pretty crummy thing to do

There usually isn't much talk about "how do I root" - it's mostly the developers chatting with each other.

It has been a bit quiet these days as it's no longer one of those "peak dev periods" - the channel was incredibly active when I9100 ICS kernel sources dropped.

There might be a small spike when official AT&T ICS releases, but the thing is that we don't really need anything from that release so other than maybe packing up a return-to-stock package (which I will only do if I can confirm that it doesn't have Superbrick trigger conditions), so I don't think I'll touch it at all.
