Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xchat-gnome
When joinging a large Chat-Room (such as #ubuntu or #ubuntu-release-
party) the discussion gets totally bogged down by the join leave
messages.
So if more than 1000 members are in a chatroom sometimes more than 7 of
10 messages are just join/leave which leaves much less room to the
alreaddy fast moving ocnversation and makes it very difficult to follow
it.
Other irc-clients have a sort of conference mode for this, so that if a
room contians more than N members, they stop showing the join/leave
messages. I'd like that. :)
Good numbers for N could be either 10, 30 or 60 members, though that
could also be determined empirically, that is the number of members to a
chatroom when the join / leave messages start to get more on the nerves
than they are usefull.
