@Bogen85,
Personally, I think it's a tough call.
On one hand I believe that restricting a user from having a "from IRC" or "from <whatever>" _might_ be going a bit too far. I wrote _might_ because I am not sure.
Yet, at the same time, I see it as pushing the envelop (that part I am sure of... <chuckle>
I'm not a moderator... if I were one, I'd tolerate it with some discomfort.

I should have been clearer as to what I was referring to.
I was referring to "Joanna from IRC" and others discussing recent visits from other forum members to IRC and what transpired, and things related to that, which has nothing to do with this topic.
In regard to the topic of what is happening in IRC and what that has come to mean in these forum, I think we should treat it like Vegas.
"Joanna from Vegas" would be fine for a forum username, and "Joanna from IRC" is fine.
But in regard to what IRC has come to mean in this forum, similar to the "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" saying, we should adopt the "What happens in IRC stays in IRC" (well, at least stays out of the Lazarus/FPC Forum).
