| Summary | 0002491: Send numerics to everyone | ||||
| Description | I was playing around, and I noticed servers and services can't send numerics as $*, like you can with PRIVMSG. I think something like this may be useful, and will greatly increase efficiency on large networks who still like to use the RPL_TEXT to send "NewsFlashes" to users. This should finction how $* does with PRIVMSG, such as: :irc.myserver.net 304 $* :Sends this numeric to everyone. | ||||

|
They shouldn't be using RPL_TEXT for this purpose to begin with. |
|
|
RPL_TEXT was an example. Even if it isnt used for this purpose, it would still probably be useful for something else if anyone wanted to use it. |
|
|
probably should not be used in this manner, however I can think of one services package that used numeric 304 (RPL_TEXT) for /os newsflash, as well as a couple other things like 'password accepted for nick', and also logonnews. I'm not going to say it's right, but it IS done. and I believe it was done to try to emulate another ircd/services. |

[quote]Even if it isnt used for this purpose, it would still probably be useful for something else if anyone wanted to use it.[/quote] It would require quite a bit of rewriting and it would make things significantly slower. It's not worth it. [quote]I'm not going to say it's right, but it IS done. and I believe it was done to try to emulate another ircd/services.[/quote] Yes, it is done. However, this doesn't mean that we should encourage it by providing features to make it easier to do. |
