Greetings,
Please allow this letter to serve as my suggesstion that you change the
way you are handling the presentation of logged-in users to your
registered channels using the status command. As of now one can see the
actual nick of someone logged in only if both the person doing the
status and the person you are looking for is on the channel.
Perhaps this was done because status is a low level command. In any
event my suggesstion is:
Make 200+ status able to see the present nicks of those logged into
their channel, irrespective of whether either or both are on the channel
(the same as 200+ can see a channel key).
I have been a part of helping to run many channels. If someone wants to
hide they simply have to reconnect and deauthorize. It is a great
benefit to the channel operators of channels to be able to see the nicks
of fellow channel operators who may be available, but for whatever
reason, are not using their regular nick or are not on channel.
Sincerely,
Stewart Bass (Season`d)
