We have good news! Users who connect, using SASL Authentication will now be exempt from being autojoined into #Lobby.
The Lobby is essentially a channel for unregistered (and unidentified) users. Discussion in the Lobby can only be seen by @Ops, allowing Staffers to assist users with questions or concerns.
To conclude, there are now two ways to avoid being autojoined into the lobby:
- Users can connect and use SASL Authentication
- Users can type
!nojoin
in #Lobby and ChanServ will ban them (which will prevent them from being autojoined)
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
