Bill, I realize that. That's opt-out, and anyone new to IRC is not going to know that. So I am asking for the opposite, which may not be a current feature of IRC, but that those who wish to see Zoia's replies (and who therefore know about Zoia) should opt-in. Another option is a separate channel for the conference, but that may seem new and foreign to everyone, not just to new users. kc On 1/17/13 9:50 PM, William Denton wrote: > On 17 January 2013, Karen Coyle wrote: > >> Is another possibility is for Zoia to be opt-in rather than opt-out? > > If you say > > /ignore zoia all > > your IRC client will ignore everything she says.
