[GNC] IRC access

[Frank H. Ellenberger]

I am  pretty sure the section can be slenderized.

You have both not been there, when the attack was waging. I watched lags
of several minutes between sending a commnd and seeing its execution.
That is the reason why I copied the very first help screens.

After setting the moderation flag on the channel, my worst case scenario
was a user, who fears he lost his data and can now additionally not ask
in the channel.

Probably a more user friendly structure might be:

Just try the link irc://...
If successful continue with "register a nick"
else install a client, see lists, and retry....

with the definitions, where required.

It does not make sense to document every random piece of software that some user may use to communicate with us, particularly if that documentation is readily available on the web.
