When joinging a large Chat-Room (such as #ubuntu or #ubuntu-release-party) the discussion gets totally bogged down by the join leave messages.
So if more than 1000 members are in a chatroom sometimes more than 7 of 10 messages are just join/leave which leaves much less room to the alreaddy fast moving ocnversation and makes it very difficult to follow it.
Other irc-clients have a sort of conference mode for this, so that if a room contians more than N members, they stop showing the join/leave messages. I'd like that. :)
Good numbers for N could be either 10, 30 or 60 members, though that could also be determined empirically, that is the number of members to a chatroom when the join / leave messages start to get more on the nerves than they are usefull.
