Summary0002324: option to make /list default to >3
DescriptionI think there should be a config option to allow for default /LIST params if the client doesn't supply any (e.g., >3), to reduce the (often quite large) number of nearly-empty channels.
If you want you could make the server send a little message to the client noting that it has added the default.

It would help with reducing a lot of unnecessarily load/bandwidth on larger networks.

Thoughts?

Sounds interesting, but I think this will create more problems. People already don't understand why mIRC hides non-alphanumeric channels, and the option for that is quite obvious. I can only imagine how many people will be comming to the support channels telling is things like "/list doesn't show my official-channels from the conf when they are empty", or "I have channels with 1 user in them and they aren't showing!", etc.

I think this should be something that should be done with a module that overrides the LIST command.

that's why it should be optional not mandatory

I tend to agree, this seems better suited to a module. First, people are going to want more. You say >3, well someone is going to want >4. So the number must be configurable. Then there will be people who also want it to only show channels with <100, or only channels created >5 minutes ago, etc. It seems easier for a module, especially since the code for this module would only be like 3 lines!

Never mind about modules, IMHO this is something that should be handled client-side (X-Chat already does this, for example), not server-side.
