| 42 | Could someone add a response to this one to the FAQ? It's asked all too | |
| 43 | frequently. :) | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | RFC1459 (the IRC protocol spec) specifies that /notice should be used for | |
| 46 | automatic replies, and that no script, bot, or service should make an | |
| 47 | automatic reply to a /notice, so as to avoid reply loops. Hence, /msg | |
| 48 | would be *incorrect* for replies from services, being both a protocol | |
| 49 | violation and possibly leading to message loops if a reply from services | |
| 50 | triggers a reply from someone's script. | |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | This question has been asked many times, and the answer is always that it | |
| 53 | won't be changed. I suggest looking into modifications to your IRC client | |
| 54 | or a script for your IRC client that corrects the reasons why you want it | |
| 55 | as a /msg instead of as a /notice instead. | |
