Your explanation only makes things more confusing. So if you try to join #foo you are redirected to ##foo which is invitation only, which just means you fail to join? Why not just make #foo invitation only instead? And why are there still people in #foo? Why not kick them?
- Jemaclus 5y agoSorry, so what happened was #foo was made invite only (+i), moderated (+m), and throttled (+f), so anyone who is in #foo is silenced and can't chat. Simultaneously, everyone was added to ##foo which is neither moderated nor invite-only. Freenode will grant operator access to #foo if you can prove that you're the official person for #foo, somehow. (I don't know the process). Once you have proven that, the new operator can change the modes again and make it open to everyone (or not). Last night, hundreds of channels were effectively closed by muting everyone and making the channels invite-only and kicking everyone over to the ##foo unofficial channels. > Why not kick them? No idea.
