However it is extreme easy to make people try to join it, and this can give you advantages (op etc) and therefor it should be restricted.

This is really more of a feature suggestion than a bug report, but I agree there should be some sort of option to prevent sending JOIN 0 from the /join command. Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.

You just have to attempt to join a channel by double-clicking, something that should be (and is) non-intrusive and should not affect your other channels. Someone who does not know about this feature has no reason to believe this will not occur.

Listening to people tell you "Type /JOIN #2,000 for warez!" teaches you many life lessons, however. 1. Don't type /JOIN #2,000 2. Don't be a sheep and blindly do as instructed. 3. Don't ask people for warez next time! The /join #2,000 is an age-old gag, usually played on the annoying and deserving in order to get them the hell out of the channel. It's a moment of embarassment that I feel every user should endure at least once. Well. At least I won lunch. Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!
