Also
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_channels specifies which
channels forbid logging, which ones may be logged and which are open
OK. But... I'm still confused as to how 3rd party 'rules' are enforceable
on-wiki. Geni's copyright claim doesn't hold water. Even if the login to the
given channel says that you hold copyright on all your words, we still
routinely link to copyrighted material for discussion and analysis, and
easily falls under fair use.
So we're back, unfortunately, to no official en- sancitioned policy saying
that you can't post IRC content... just people not wanting things posted. Is
that correct?
