Hi all,
This feature is intended to let us run network-wide events where people may
ask questions during the events without "disturbing" the event.
When a channel is in auditorium mode (+A'ed), the following applies to users
who are not opped or voiced:
1) The user list of the channel is hidden, they can only see ops/voiced on
the channel (with /names).
2) When the channel is not moderated (+m'ed), messages that are sent to the
channel are being relayed to #channel-relay.
3) Joins are hidden.
3) Parts are hidden.
4) Nick changes are hidden.
5) Quits are hidden.
6) /who +c is hidden.
7) Mode changes are hidden (with the exception of +o/-o/+v/-v which makes
the opped/voiced appear to join/part as needed).
Opped and voiced users can still see the send messages to the channel, see
channel user list, mode changes, etc.
This feature (channel mode) is currently can only be set by u:lined servers
(services). It may be opened to all users in the future but it will probably
be limited to channel managers/founders as it isn't a mode that needs to be
changed on the fly.
Do you think this feature will be good for other usages? do you feel like it
should be opened for everyone? do you have any other comments/questions?
feel free to share.
-Kobi.
