Description
Many networks rely on their MOTD to show important information including network rules, legally-required notices such as privacy policies, help channels, and so on. I get that people might get tired of ASCII art network logos or what have you, and it's fine to have an option to skip them, but they should be shown by default unless the user chooses otherwise.
