From d1e6d7845b0f3b450709b84a6e4fc4527f12b196 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcus Hoffmann Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2024 11:52:40 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] docs/website/support.html: document irc channel permission changes The #buildroot IRC channel recently changed from only allowing registered users to join to allowing anyone to join but only allowing registered users to talk in the channel. This still avoids the spam problem on IRC while allowing an exception for users bridged from matrix.org. These already have a username registered on the matrix side and thus similar properties as a registered IRC user/nick. The commands to set these options were: * Set +q on all unregistered nicks: ~/mode #buildroot +q $~a~ this lets people join but they can't talk * Set exempt on matrix hosts: ~/mode #buildroot +e $x:matrix.org~ Signed-off-by: Marcus Hoffmann Signed-off-by: Yann E.
