- Ok. Here it is (take a deep breath.)
-
- Make the IRC network only allow one login from each address.
-
- Now, while I know there would still be bots and cyborgs, at least half of
- them would disappear immediatley.
-
- Bots with a legitimate value could always get thier own login (like
- nicksrv).
-
- If anyone can give me one good reason why they need to be logged on to IRC
- two or more times simultaniously, I would like to hear it.
-
- Right now, though, I can only believe that logging on to the IRC mulitple
- times at the same time of day is just a selfish waste of network resources.
-
- Say no to automated lamitude amplifiers.
