Description

Hi,

for privacy reasons we'd like to not log join/quit messages which include domain names or IP addresses.

Can irclog2html be configured to not convert those messages (I think they would be type OTHER if i understand the code correctly)?

If not, and if i were to supply a patch, where do you think should I best put the code?

Thanks!

cheers, josch

Research direction

Start by locating the code that classifies or converts join/quit messages, including the possible OTHER type mentioned in the issue. Check how irclog2html configuration is handled and determine whether the option should suppress conversion of these messages. Done means a configurable privacy option prevents join/quit messages containing domain names or IP addresses from being logged in the generated HTML.
