Based on the feedback we have received from the community, we have changed our service to meet the concerns of many IRC users. It is clear that the support of the community is paramount. We have decided to remove all logs that had been archived prior to IRSeek’s recent changes. We have started to archive new content with the approval of the respective network and channel operators.

The following changes have been applied based on suggestions and requests from IRC operators and users:

1. Our service now supports both opt-in and opt-out policies. For example, we apply an opt-in policy with the Freenode network and an opt-out policy for the OSX86 network. The policy is chosen by the network’s operators.

2. The logging bots will be easily identifiable, both by nickname and ‘whois’ information.

3. Individual channel operators, when properly identified, will be able to opt-in or opt-out based on the policy agreed upon with the respective IRC network.
