Why we need our own ircd

Motivation

We want a chat platform that normal people can use without reading manuals. We don't want a social network for elitists, we want a social network for normal users.

UnrealIRCd and InspIRCd do not solve spam problems intuitively. They use almost a hundred different flags to ban innocent users in almost a hundred different ways. IRCNow bouncers were only recently banned by some inexperienced Unreal opers. Just a few days ago, they gave us express permission to connect with an iline, then recently Z-lined our IPs by accident for being proxies.

Accidental banning happens on a daily basis because UnrealIRCd is too confusing for average users to administer. Channel ops also struggle to be able to administer their own channels because of the needlessly complex settings.

Here are some example flags that are highly confusing and of no use:

D 	chanmodes/delayjoin 	Delays someone's JOIN message until that person speaks. Chanops and higher, opers and ulines/services are exempt. 	Requires +o or higher 
Q 	chanmodes/nokick 	No /KICK allowed. Can be used to force all chanops to use Services for kicking. Unusual, but possible. 
V 	chanmodes/noinvite 	/INVITE is not permitted.
