title: [Scheduled Maintenance] Services Upgrade
---
  Yesterday around noon, we ran into such serious problems with   hyperion-ircd 1.0.1 that it became necessary to back out the NOIDPRIVMSG   feature, which blocks unregistered users from sending private messages.    But users responding to requests for feedback on the feature, via global   notice and news item, commented very positively, with about 60% favoring   the permanent adoption of the feature, and 83% favoring its use in some   temporary or permanent form.

We've resolved the problems with the 1.0.1 code release and will be   phasing the patched code in over the next 8 or 9 hours, with our main   rotation servers restarted between 4am and 5am UTC.  We'll be working on   providing a non-default NickServ setting for registered users, allowing   them to receive messages from unregistered users. This feature should be   available very soon.  We'll continue to test for the next few days, and   you can help by telling us what you think of the feature; just email your   comments to **_policy at freenode dot net_**. And registered or   unregistered users can message an active staffer for help; just use


<blockquote>**_   /stats p _**</blockquote>


to get the list.

We appreciate your patience and your support for the network. Thank you   for using      freenode!
