- Karunamon 14y agoNot sure I appreciate the implication that IRC is somehow unlawful.
- staunch 14y agoHah! Me neither. Updated. The idea was only to prohibit public IRC uses, since they tend to attract the naughty people. Running your own private IRC stuff is fine. I've been on IRC for ~15 years myself.
- pnathan 14y agoWhat do you mean, public IRC uses?
- jauer 14y agoI'd imagine anything that attracts DDoS traffic. Generally speaking you know when you are hanging out in rooms where people are willing to DDoS you to kick you offline.
- staunch 14y agoSome people run private IRC servers for their company/friends and that's something we want to allow. We just want to prohibit public IRC servers/clients/bots because they tend to be a magnet for network/server attacks.
