> IRC is just a ban list, an except list and an invite list. Now use that to implement RBAC for a server with a hundred channels. Go ahead, I'll wait. Less pithily, IRC's built-in permissions may be simple, but they're so simple primarily because they're basically useless for real moderation tasks. Every IRC channel I've ever seen handles moderation with a mod-bot, and "set up a bot" instantly blows the complexity budget.
