[Bf-committers] Potentially moving from IRC to Blender.Chat

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

Well.... the irc channel is still active and has advantages as well. Not 
everyone wishes to move either. Before officially moving over I'd like 
to see a good agreement in place how to keep the chat channels friendly 
and troll free.

- Are there good options to manage trolls and bans? If so, can we find a 
24/7 coverage of moderators or 'ops' to manage channels?

Thanks,

-Ton-
