| Summary | 0004007: Documentation does not say that +t allows a halfop to change the topic | ||||
| Description | Maybe this is nitpicking, but the documentation for channel mode +t has always said "Only chanops can set topic". I think clarity is important, and should say "Only channel half-operators and higher can set the topic". | ||||
| Additional Information | Opinion: Personally, I don't like that channel half-operators can set topic on +t (I mean, if they can't kick other half-operators and such, why should they be permitted to change the topic?), but that's beside the point. | ||||

I think halfops are limited enough as-is. Just change the message so that halfops can change the topic with +t and be done with it. |

For now, at least, the behavior of chmode +t can't be changed so dramatically. So, this will be a documentation bug. (I.e., even though this behavior of halfops being able to set the topic is undocumented, it is intended. Also, one half of the documentation -- the HELPOP docs -- correctly state that ``Only +hoaq may change the topic [h]''.) I don't think that chmode +t will ever prevent halfops from setting the topic, but if you still are interested in that please open another bug. Documentation is fixed in CVS: - Fix documentation about channel mode +t and halfops, thanks warg (0004007). Thanks for reporting this inconsistency :-). |
