I thought I should post a message here for visibility that yesterday we made the openstack-placement IRC channel +r so that the recent spate of spammers could be blocked. This means that you must have a registered nick to gain access to the channel. There's information on how to register at: https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration Plenty of other channels have been doing the same thing, see: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/freenode-plus-r-08-2018 -- Chris Dent ٩◔̯◔۶ https://anticdent.org/ freenode: cdent tw: @anticdent
