Maybe more suited for the comms blog? I bet there's a higher percentage
of Fedora community members and contributors using Freenode than there
are Fedora users.

Hi folks, the Magazine IRC channel has been one of many, many
Freenode
channels afflicted recently with spam. To try and combat this, I
set
the "-q $~a" mode which means (as I understand from Fedora
sysadmins)
unregistered nicks may not be able to "speak" in the channel.
If you are on the channel and you find you're getting warnings about
this, or you're having other trouble, ping me in a private message
and
I'll see what I can do.
On the other hand, it's a VERY good idea to register your nick on
Freenode anyway. This also takes care of the problem. Here's how
you
register: https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration
Once you register, you can do either of these to identify yourself
to
the IRC nickserv any time you get on IRC:
/MSG NickServ identify <mypassword>
/MSG NickServ identify <nick> <mypassword>
Article material? :)
