I disagree with the umode +x behaviour. Imagine a client sends a /msg X login and a /mode +x upon connection. What will usually happen is the mode will be processed before the account message from X, so it just makes life more complicated. If we really must inform users about what's going on under their feet, we could send a server notice, or even a numeric when their host gets hidden. -- Alex "Vampire-" Badea * Undernet Coder-Com contributer
