I got a series of "lol" popup dialogs, then was pushed out of the room and returned to Hacker News. I was fairly frightened by this turn of events and won't return using my normal browser without some assurances that I'm not going to be victimized. I guess I'll fire up a virgin firefox profile and try some more.
On the user interface side, it would make sense if any line starting with "/" was interpreted as a command (legit or not). Otherwise, you'll have a lot of "/help" and so forth in the channels. Especially since "/print" is a valid command.
Update: Not sure, but I think someone has now injected some JS which causes everyone else in the channel to continuously spam it with the word "crash". Good times...
