I second this; if a channel op is using their position as an op via X from
outside the channel it'd be nice to see where they were authed from !
Whilst i see the logic to the move perhaps this needs to be coupled with
something else - when /msg x adduser #channel <username> - this needs to be
acknowledged and approved by <username> before theyre actually added (and
then seen in the channel status info?)
This would at least let chanops know where theyre visible as authed even if
theyre deliberately trying not to be seen, and makes it clear that if you
have ops in a channel, and are logged into X, you can be seen by other ops
of 200+ level...
