Well, call me paranoid if you like - but what's to stop the people who are out to get me joining the channels that I think (in my innocence) are trustworthy, and getting me there?
If I were a bad guy and wanted to get me, that's what I'd do. |
You would still need to accept DCC transfers or whatever. Like with emails, don't download and run things from people you don't know.
Even so, that's very unlikely to happen on this server, troublemakers get spotted and removed very quickly.
If you're going to continue to be paranoid, give X-Chat a go. I linked to a free Windows version in the other topic.
