Is it wrong to change the version reply to report another name or version? Yes, of course it is. That would be very lame. I don't really think anytone here wants to do that. I don't want to change the reply to rIRC v7.19 RoCk, I just simply want to stop it from replying at all, and for no other reason than I don't want to reply. It is sending a message that I don't want sent. This can already be done by ignoring CTCPs, but I don't want to ignore all CTCPs, yes I do use them. We should already have this option. To each their own is exactly right. I suggested a long time ago that an ignore flag be added to ignore version requests, but it went ignored. It could be in the options dialog, select it to ignore version requests, deselect it to unignore.

This all also goes for all built-in ctcp replies... version time clientinfo finger ... whatever else there is.
