Force Join Idle Person

Is there a way to force join someone into a channel if they have been idleing in no channel for say 10 seconds?

Not automatically. You could /who * and look for those with no given channel.

Too big of a server. Is there some time of mod

(linux server)

That would be a good thing for the future, I have seen a few post asking about it..

I think mostly the reason it doesn't exist is because it's really irritating to be force-joined anywhere (think of it from a users perspective rather than as an admin). I for one don't hang around networks that force me to join a channel on connect (which can be done) or use SAJOIN without good reason. If you want users in a channel, give them reaason to be there rather than giving them no choice.

What is the point of being on a server and not being in a channel?

No clue, but people do it.

So you can idle/be asleep/whatever without being bugged? So you can decide what channel you want to be in? So you can /list etc etc and decide if you want to hang around?

There's plenty of reasons.

From time to time I ask people to join me on a server so they can just PM me. No need for them to join any useless channels where they won't participate in.

Pm's is another useless window to be open ^.^

PM's are not useless.

Why would I use a channel to talk to 1 other person where any nosy admin can pop in at any time right in the middle of a conversation meant for no one else but me and the other person? If I use a PM, no one can just pop into it in the middle of a conversation and see what is being said...

Though a unethical admin who would spy on your channel will probably find a module to spy on your pm, and at least you know when he spys on your channel by the obvious method

could be done by ur services. normal its an operserv command /os notinchanlistjoin (depending on ur running services). With this u can join ppl in a defined channel. To call the command u may use an eggdrop or run a script every 20 secs. But usually its enough to run it 10 - 20 minutes.

I thought the only method to 'read along' PM's was to link up servers an sniff the packs between 'em...? Ie: impossible or too hard a job to catch a few words anyway...
