>Why didn't you ask what were some of the reasons why we upgraded our IRC server?

It falls under the "If it isn't broke, don't fix it".

>Why should someone have admin rights on the IRC channels?

Because the UT admins are never there.

Why? If I signon and noone is there, and I post a question, no one sees it. It's not like it gets saved.

So are you saying that the chat room is only important when there is a session? Because that is the only time an admin is ever there. What if someone logs in and starts flooding the server with random crap? Your bot can't detect that (flooding yes, but organized flooding, no).

>In other word, would you be ready to give to someone admin rights to your Web server? Probably not

Those two are not related. With channel op you cannot change the configuration of the server.
