The problem there is there are tens of thousands of IRC "experts" than can't code, and hundreds of thousands if not millions of coders that don't know anything about IRC.
I'm sure if this was applied from the beginning, IRC would have died 15 years ago.
As far as cleansing the gene pool as you put it. I believe that if irc projects made it too hard for those that have only been on IRC for 3 days to get IRC installed and configured, then inherently the only ones running daemons obviously know what they are doing. Remove all IRC support channels and mailing lists. Supply a few well documented README's and that's it! We would have alot less of these 10 user nets run by people that didn't have a clue IRC existed last month. |

Agreed with the bottom half.. Most of the recent network owners moslty some of them not all of them, don't have no idea or clue what their doing or getting into thus this ends up with them being short lived too. |
