'Chanserv decreases nothing' and IRC has long been abandoned by most packetpoopbuttwarriorkiddies, now its networks, 'ISP's' competing with each other for customer share in a failing market place. Shawn McMahon wrote:

Hence, if all the IRC networks would implement Chanserv, and educate users, these attacks would decrease.
Actually, then they get directed at the services, their upstream hubs, etc. Trust me on this. As long as IRC is running in some way, shape, or form, you have a very big bullseye placed on your network.
I did say "decrease" not "stop entirely".
Every argument I'm getting thrown back at me is arguing against the latter, instead of what I actually said.
If even one person doesn't attack because he can't take over the channel, and brief service interruption doesn't cut the mustard for him, then using Chanserv was a good tool, and that's the only claim I made.
If you want to argue that the attacks won't decrease, fine; but everybody please stop telling me that they won't cease, because I KNOW THAT ALREADY.
