Why? We're doing what RFC1459 says:

In the absence of the <name> parameter, all visible (users who aren't invisible (user mode +i) and who don't have a common channel with the requesting client) are listed.

I see no reason to change this behavior.

since ircops can see every user (=all users are visible) it is exactly what is written there... (rfc1459 "4.5.1 Who query" )

Is this logic?
I mean.. i think it will be better if on just "/who" returns the flags list and if u want a whole list of users u can do "/who +h *".
Many times many users doesnt know the correct use of the command and the result is a "floody" list of users...

"/who" had this behaviour as long as irc exists - I think everyone has learned his lesson once or twice with dead sockets...
on the other hand - imho /who is not really usefull for non-opers, so they will not use it...
and the "i've got an auto-/who-every-2-minutes-client/script-users" should better repair their software...

Then bahamut is broken and violating the RFC. It is stated quite clearly that /who defaults to simply dumping a list of all visible users.

Yes, bahamut shows the help. That was bahamut's decision, they decided to ignore RFC1459 in this regard. We did not. I see no reason to show the help when they type /who. If you want help with /who, that's what /helpop is for. Type /helpop who and you'll have all the information you could ever want.
