RFC 2811: Internet Relay Chat: Channel management

 

7.3 Anonymity


   The anonymous channel flag (See Section 4.2.1) can be used to render
   all users on such channel "anonymous" by presenting all messages to
   the channel as originating from a pseudo user which nickname is
   "anonymous".  This is done at the client-server level, and no
   anonymity is provided at the server-server level.

   It should be obvious to readers, that the level of anonymity offered
   is quite poor and insecure, and that clients SHOULD display strong
   warnings for users joining such channels.
