41 | The way to be secure is not to give out the founder password. You could | |
42 | apply the same short sighted reason for a "/ns set | |
43 | letotherpeopleaccessmynick pass" request. | |
44 | ||
45 | The founder password is designed to give the channel founder access to | |
46 | manage the ownership of the channel. There is no need to give out the | |
47 | password to anyone, channel management through others is provided via op | |
48 | status. | |
49 | ||
50 | If for some peculiar reason a channel founder wishes to share the password | |
51 | then IMO that is their problem. The chances are that any user that would | |
52 | require modifying the access list to "fix" this, would likely be attempted | |
53 | too late since a rogue user could have merely taken ownership of the channel | |
54 | thereby making the option and the founder password redundant and merely make | |
55 | it a problem that administrators waste time on. | |
56 | ||
57 | The founder can already provide access to whatever commands an op needs via | |
58 | levels which is far more secure and already subject to access list | |
59 | restrictions. | |
60 | ||
61 | What function of founder status is required that warrants removing the | |
62 | founder status by supporting sharing of it? | |
