I run an IRC Network, and use Anope.
This is probably already a module, or has already been suggested (but I am too lazy to look)
What I would like to see is an autovoicer, so when someone enters a room the botserv bot voices them.
Also, if a person is on the room's HOP/AOP/SOP list it doesn't voice them....
You can also add entries to a nonvoice list, so it won't voice specific nicknames.
I'm currently using Anope 1.7.17 because I see no reason to upgrade as of yet. No Errors, No Bugs, No Freezes, it's perfect.
If I saw this added to a development version, I would upgrade!
