codemastr said " usermode +d is for services only "

why not use +u?

Hmmm... I can _almost_ see a use for this...

but not quite. Why would it be used? hmmm...
I suppose maybe in a club channel or something where you have to be a member... or some sorta thing.

w00t, perhaps, but, what's the point of being allowed in a channel if you can't see what is being said? If you can't see what is said, then presumably you can't talk either (why would you be allowed to talk but never see replies?)
So then to me, the correct solution is you set +k and only give the key to the members.

If you have chanserv, you don't have to give them the key, just give them Chanserv GETKEY access.

good point aquanight, thats If services support *getkey*

why not just add them level 5 access list (auto voice) allows them to uuse CHANSERV INVITE command, Mlock +i

*edit typo in aquas name sorry*

Indeed codemastr.
Another solution would be +b *!*@* and then add a few +e s...

I was simply trying to rationalise the idea.
Bah. Bad idea. Dont like it.

You might not see a need. Some might. Its the little things that makes a ircd cool. Ive heard a few people say this would be kinda cool to have. I thought it was neat also so I suggested. You say why? I say why not? Also I wouldnt see why they could talk?

All I'm asking for is a reason.

Well if people were saying they wanted this, they likely had a reason, all I'm asking for is a reason.

----
You say why? I say why not?
Why not? Because I'm the one who is going to have to go spend time writing the code to do this, and I don't want to do it for something that serves no purpose. Hence why I asked for a reason.

If your only reason is "why not?" then just say so and I'll close this report.

I thought it was a cool feature I thought some might find a need as already said a club room, You really dont have to be a dick about it.

Even if we can come up with a good reason for this now, there's not really any chance of it showing up in 3.2 because it's in "Release Candidate" mode, aka "Bug Squashing" mode. In "Bug Squashing" mode, you want to _fix_ bugs, not create them. So the earliest we'll see this is 3.3 Beta, along with any other feature requests that are posted in the time between now and the starting of 3.3, so as I said, don't count on it showing up right away ;) .

I don't appreciate being called a "dick". Just because you refuse to answer simple questions doesn't make me a "dick."
