Just a thought: as long as we primarily link to webchat.freenode.net from https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC/Channels the traffic in the channels should be suited after that tool rather than what some power user have available.

I use LimeChat, but haven’t tried hard enough to filter out bots. I don’t mind creating a new channel and directing bots there. XChat advanced settings related to “Text Events”, which maybe what you want. Not sure about the backlog support though.

Bryan that's exactly what I'd like. Direct the bots to other channels and join those if you want the notifications. I personally will because I find them very useful.
Baha the reality is not that easy. I want backlog so I've moved to the irccloud chat, and there I can only ignore users. The problem is that I find wikibugs and grrrit-wm very useful and I don't want to hide them, I want to separate them to another channel. This way for activity and notifications I'll join the notifications channel, and in the main channel I'll be able to read and have conversations with people without tons of noise. Would you mind having another channel open with the notifications? We should expect all team members to autojoin that channel when working too.
Jon, Ori told me that limechat can hide messages based on regexes. I poked around it and searched google but found nothing useful and he didn't reply on irc so I'm not sure which dark secrets he holds :P
What client are you using baha?

I personally detest them now I am working with mostly a remote team. They are useful occasionally but not missing messages from team members is far too important for me.
I've not found a good way to filter these out (look at the pink lines that mean pings in my irc client - http://imgur.com/MsYk9OO)
I've also noticed an increase in private conversations recently to compensate for this which sucks for openness.
A compromise to reduce noise might be:
- don't include name of author in patch submits/phabricator tasks
reported by the bot (so that author doesn't get pings that mask other pings from other users) - but someone would have to implement this.
I think moving to a new channel seems like an easy solution. Nothing gets missed provided people know to join it and nothing needs to be implemented.

I think they should stay and everyone should be able to configure their client to hide specific message from showing.

Totally agree, having *important messages only* in IRC would be nice. Another idea would be to have notifs go to more specific chat rooms

the project.

Hi!
I've been feeling that the signal to noise ratio on #wikimedia-mobile since the addition of wikibugs and our new apps engineers (more
grrrit-wm
spam) is turning to be 0 (that is, no signal because of too much
noise).
It is really difficult to talk about anything when somebody else is working (and that is what we do, so...).
I would like to propose moving the machines to a different channel,
maybe
a couple of them ( #wikimedia-mobile-web-bots &
#wikimedia-mobile-apps-bots
for example ) so that they continue to be useful but in a different
channel,
and so that we can read again the chats with just the conversations.
What do you think?
Cheers.
