| m4v | looks like freenode changed webchat cloaks to show the user's ip | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| rww | yup. tomaw sent out a wallop about it | 00:02 |
| rww | 1459 [freenode] -!- WALLOP tomaw: Hi, we just experimentally changed how we're cloaking users of freenodes own webchat. You should now see their hostname as gateway/web/freenode/ip.<clientIP> which will make client /ban type commands work better as well as ChanServ's QUIET command. If you have any feedback please let us know in #freenode! Thanks! | 00:03 |
| m4v | if its made permanent couldn't the policy of webchat users be revised? | 00:08 |
| m4v | it's* | 00:08 |

| m4v | tsimpson: I mean If sending them to -proxy-users will be still necessary. | 11:39 |
| tsimpson | m4v: why would that be different? | 11:45 |
| tsimpson | their IP has always be encoded in to the ident, this just makes banning and determining the real IP easier | 11:46 |
| m4v | I thought that the reason for using -proxy-users was due to the difficult of banning them. | 11:49 |
| tsimpson | not so much, the floodbots actually ban by IP when you remove a webchat user | 11:56 |
| tsimpson | when a webchat user joins -proxy-users the floodbots check if the real IP is banned in the channel, that helps stop people using proxies to get around bans | 11:57 |
| tsimpson | the change in the hostmask doesn't change that part | 11:57 |
| m4v | tsimpson: kk | 12:36 |
