Several IRC servers do have support for authentication and access control (and audit trails as well I suppose).
Only centralized history/logging and search would need to be bolted on if needed.
In the non-centralized case your IRC client takes care of all of that.

- dkdk8283 6y agoLack of logs and history is a feature not a bug.
- JMTQp8lwXL 6y agoFor business users, there are regulatory requirements. You need to keep information around for some period of time, but not forever. History and searching is useful for spreading tribal knowledge throughout an organization.
- welterde 6y agoDoes that actually extend to Slack/slack-like things though? Since I would see Slack more of a replacement for phone calls or hallway discussions. Neither of which typically has any logs or recordings (and I wouldn't want to work somewhere that did keep such logs).
- pr0zac 6y agoIt does yes. This is why for example message history data export is a paid feature. Its a requirement for certain types of compliance.
- welterde 6y agoIn what areas would you find such requirements? And shouldn't the default position be that it is illegal to keep those logs? Especially those involving direct messages between employees.
