Hi,

Are we able to have a module created that adds channel mode +d to allow cloneable channels when the channel limit is reached, similar to +d in IRCx? I have put the spec. below.

          8.1.16.   CLONEABLE (IRCX +d)

             The CLONEABLE channel mode defines a channel that creates new
             clone channels if the parent channel is full.  A clone channel
             is created with the same name as the parent cloneable channel
             with a numeric suffix starting at 1, ranging to 99.  It is not
             valid to set the CLONEABLE channel mode of a parent channel
             that ends with a numeric character.   The clone channel
             inherits modes and properties from the parent channel when it
             is set up.  When a clone channel is created, any channel  that
             has the same name is removed.  This prevents channel takeover
             of a clone channel.

There is also channel mode +e that marks a channel that has been created as a clone, but since this is used for excepts I suggest channel mode +D i.e. main channel #Chat would be +d and then any clone channels due to user limit such as #Chat2 be +D.

This would really help on large chat sites that have massive channels, without having to play around with +lL as this is not reliable as you would have to set up every single #Chat? channel ...

Thanks a lot,
Alex

You probably won't get someone to write a custom module that large for free.

@SaberUK I guess it is just a modification to +L, instead of taking a parameter of the forward channel it just takes the current name and adds a number at the end. Anyway, just putting the idea out there for a new useful channel mode.
