Yup I agree, mentioned that in this quoted post. Would be nice to have channels without rulers, but the spam gets out of hand and admins banning is just simpler than requiring every user to mute the noise.

Would be a trip if “hashtag channel” moderators could publish their blacklists for each hashtag, that way users could download the blacklist when joining a hashtag channel and effortlessly ignore the spammers like they do in IRC — users could turn off certain blacklists if they feel like a moderator was blacklisting too often.
