Hello Maciej,

Thanks for intervening! I'm not very good at IRC, but I understand there
is a setting that works fairly well, without going to invite-only.
If I'm correct, it's something that only allows registered users to send
messages. I believe that's what #rhel does, for example. I'm not in
favour of invite-only either.

Laurent
