users are told to use more, and then told only admins may use it

(11:51:15) begiak: Type ".more" to view remaining 44 messages.
(11:59:14) ifs[m]: .more
(11:59:14) begiak: ifs[m]: Only admins can use .more on channels.

Perhaps .more should send messages privately when user is not an admin.

Perhaps .more should send messages privately when user is not an admin.

That would require user-level tracking of queues, which would make the module much more complicated (although this isn't impossible).

[mr-martian]

hadn't thought of that aspect.

I was basically imagining that a non-admin typing .more would just privately send whatever would have been gotten if an admin had written it.

[jonorthwash]

That is a potential behaviour, but probably not ideal in terms of the fact that it allows non-admins to discreetly empty the queue...

[mr-martian]

or if it displays what's in the queue without emptying it? though I suppose at some point we're adding just as much complexity as we're avoiding.

[jonorthwash]

I think that would have to be user-level, since every time you kick it, it shows one thing from the queue. So it'd have to keep track of how many times each user has kicked it.
