Forum:IRC change

Those of you who visit our IRC channel regularly, would have noticed a new change of system introduced by Joeyaa. Essentially, all admins stay flagged as ops, but they are de-opped at all times, except for when they need it. He uses our "inactive admin demotion" system as an analogy. Admins always stay voiced, while non-admins don't receive any flags.

Here are some reasons he gave:
 * 1) Most ops don't use their powers anyway.
 * 2) There are power abusing ops, and most of them won't find a way to abuse anymore when they're not opped.
 * 3) Makes the channel less intimidating to new users.
 * 4) Equality.

Now, this has it's disadvantages and advantages. For one, yes it does make the channel more friendly. However, most of the time, I need my op powers, so I had to remove a couple of modes from the channel to compensate for that. On the flipside, it makes Sea's CPW bot unable to innocently block poeple - but anyway Sea took the useless words off the blacklist, and bots are allowed op access anyway. Also, if at anytime the channel goes +m, that means any non-admins can't talk, which is pretty dumb.

But what do you guys think?
