once upon a time on freenode IRC I was talking to a guy, and he mentioned you can decloak users on freenode. I asked how, and a freenode admin jumped in with "anyone that wants to discuss decloaking users can be removed from the network" and that was that on that conversation. A different IRC admin told me that was a problem with the specific version of IRC that is run on freenode (and many others) but not on the network he ran. So.... my question is do you know if that's a problem with the version of IRC you run?

Good concerns. I don't know exactly how secure it is and can't guarantee anything. However we are using the latest stable version of unrealircd so I imagine that this issue no longer exists.

We are very open to IRC tips and don't have much experience with it ourselves.
