There are no admins monitoring our project channels however, those channels that are monitored have people kicked out on misbehavior.  The point being, "no logging" means freedom of thought for only the creative purposes; please do not take me any other way.

I just want to point out that keystone has logging enabled for our channel and I do not see it as a hamper to creative discussion / open discussion. The logging is definitely of value. Also a lot of people will locally log a given irc channel, which largely nets the same result. 

It is still not an official meeting, and we have heated debates at times, the logging let's us check back on things discussed outside of the official meetings. I do admit it is used less frequently than the meeting logs.
