- ### (the +c 'common' flag)
- sometimes a lot of people use irc from the same account -- for
- example, a telnet site. in that case, a whole bunch of people
- will have the same user@host. so they can't use a traditional
- user record because they will appear to all be the same person.
-
- in this case, you create a user record for the account, and mark
- it +c, or "common access". that means that it shouldn't be used
- as a definitive address. when someone introduces herself to the
- bot (ie, by /msg'ing "hello"), if she matches as a +c user, she
- will be given a new user record which identifies her BY NICKNAME.
-
- obviously people with that kind of user record shouldn't be given
- much special access, since when they change nicknames, the bot
- will identify them as someone else.
