I was too, but having seen the crap they put up with in -ops, I now am not.

Not true. What's happened recently is that the CC received a complaint
from a user. I asked the IRCC for _all_ relevant conversations. I
would expect that if the same occurred again, we'd examine the logs
not only from public channels, but from this private one too.

The channel also contains at least one member of the CC. I'd hope
users can trust the CC to do the right thing. Further I would also
hope that we could trust the IRCC to do the right thing.

I am not sure what that means. People will talk openly and honestly
about issues that are happening in other channels, with no fear of
people reading the logs and then jumping in to throw their 2p in. This
happens pretty commonly.

I am confident this channel will descend into madness.
