I'm all for letting users create whatever channel they wish and for displaying it on the channel list, which basically means behaving like a decent IRC client. I see no reason to do that for user created channels. Maybe some plugin should be used to handle IRC. Maybe there's a possibility to have rooms approved before they can be created. Worst case scenario an ircop would remove them.Īnother idea is to list all channels on the network instead of just the #Shareaza*-channels. Channels which match against a badwords filter could be blocked. We can't control what's on the P2PChat network, but we can contol what appears in the channels box. The problem is that #shareaza-warez or #shareaza-porn would be difficult to stop, but is that a good argument since they're unofficial anyway? These unofficial channels could then be listed after all the language and help channels and/or in a different color and/or in a different box and/or if it's enabled in the settings. Should users be allowed to set up their own personal channel?Įncouraging users to set up their own channel could give a boost to the community. The problem here might be that this new language channel is "unofficial" and we're not in control of it and they could just use the name of the language to get it listed in the channels-box.ģ. IMO it's great regulars set up their own channel to help others in this language. Recently a new language channel was opened by a couple of regulars from the french channel, #shareaza-arabic. Should users be allowed to set up their own language channel?

If this would be integrated, an advanced option should exist to turn auto-joining that language channel off.Īdding a language code (based on the language set in Shareaza) to the ident of the user after which the server can determine if the user can be sajoin'ed somewhere.Ģ. The problem here is that not every country has a matching language channel, and people might speak a different language in other parts of the country.
Last, the user would be joined in the correct language channel. Next, the IP is matched against Shareaza's already implemented IP-to-country database. In this case, they will be joined to #shareaza-chat.įirst, The external IP would be fetched from a remote server (a PHP page on SF perhaps). However, not all IP's can be translated this way: 83.223.160.2 will translate to which is not a country TLD. Last, the user will be joined to #shareaza-portuguese. Next, the part after the last dot is chopped off, and used to determine what country the user is in (br). For instance 147.65.5.4 will translate to. Should Shareaza take care of joining the users in the appropriate channel?Īt the moment P2PChat takes care of force-joining language users in the appropriate channel:įirst, the server does a reverse DNS lookup of the IPaddress. IMO, the corresponding language would be better.Ģ. Should language channels be displayed in the corresponding language or the language set in Shareaza? I would like to ask all of you your opinion on the following statements:ġ. These channels have been hardcoded in the source. Let's share a few thoughts about Shareaza's IRC support:Īt this moment Shareaza only supports language channels to be listed: (#Shareaza, #Shareaza-Admin, -Chat, -dev, -Afrikaans, -Arabic, -Chinese, -Croatian, -Czech, -Dutch, -Finish, -French, -German, -Greek, -Hebrew, -Hungarian, -Italian, -Japanese, -Lithuanian, -Norwegian, -Polish, -Portuguese, -Russian, -Spanish, -Swedish)
