There is no reason to do this. It also makes your channel look like a "newbie hangout" (voice beggers).
The auto-voice is for the convenience of channel ops. Devoicing a troublesome user temporarily is a gentler initial warning than kicking them off the channel altogether. The "newbie hangout" thing is false, because there's no one actually requesting voicing (or ops, for that matter).
2. You need a #help channel, all networks have them and need them. For general irc questions and the IrcOPS (fourm Moderators) should help out in their.
As is mentioned on our <A HREF="http://www.macnn.com/index.php?chat=true"" TARGET=_blank>chat page</A>, #hashmark serves as our network lobby and #help channel.
3. You need to limit /ctcp commands. "Script kiddies" could come on and ping the channel over and over crashing your network.
Fair point. It'll be dealt with.
4. Quick Question, how much bandwith does the irc server take up.
A decent amount, but not a huge amount.
5. You do not have a place to go if you wish to link to the network.
I don't follow what you're trying to say here...
If you have any other questions/concerns, shoot away here or on the server; there are usually some IRCops around.
