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

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?

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 -

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.

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