RFC 2811: Internet Relay Chat: Channel management

 

7.2 Channel Privacy


   Because channel collisions are treated as inclusive events (See
   Section 6.3), it is possible for users to join a channel overriding
   its access control settings.  This method has long been used by
   individuals to "take over" channels by "illegitimately" gaining
   channel operator status on the channel.  The same method can be used
   to find out the exact list of members of a channel, as well as to
   eventually receive some of the messages sent to the channel.
