deal with join/leave spam

[skelterjohn]

Idea 1: If a join is more than old, hide it unless the person has sent a message. If someone leaves and they haven't sent a message in the last , do not display the leave message.

Idea 2: if there are multiple joins between two regular messages, collapse them into the same line. ("x has joined the channel", "y has joined the channel" -> "x, y have joined the channel"). Same thing with quits, but on its own (not grouped in with joins).

I suggest removing all the messages from the channel, they could be sent to the server tab, and when someone sends a message and then quits/leaves his nickname could me grayed out in the chat history.

I'm all with it. Please add an option to remove the join/part/quit messages from the stream.

And plugins are useless because of sandboxing =\ Bullshit... There is no need for sandboxing... I'm installing my script on my pc... why sandbox me from me? This windows security shit should be stopped, if you doing shit on root level you are fully resposible for demages... And if you don't have root access to your own pc this is just ridiculous...

Actually there's a solution for this.

just use in the channel:

/ignore join part quit

It will get rid of all the join, part and quit spam in that channel.

It would be great to document that.

I forked CIRC so I could implement this, and then looking at the code I figured out that I could just use /ignore for this.

And this is saved between sessions.

@fabioxgn and how to ignore the nickname changes?

PS thank you.. realy helpfull... chat is so much easier to read now PPS where i can read about /ignore in CIRC

[fabioxgn]

@USvER I'm not sure but this sould work: /ignore nick

To read about ignore in CIRC: /help ignore

[USvER]

There is no list of messages types...

Can /ignore be extended to ignore a user?

/ignore doesn't work on user nicks, but it would be great to have an option for this...
