There was a similar one in Guile. The fundamental issue is that we are not irc experts :) The derived issue is that someone suggested the "/mode +r" command to remove a spam problem. But for some reason that is preventing people from joining. Goran Weinholt then suggested "/mode -r" but "/mode +q $~a", as what #scheme and #chez were using; that lets anyone join but only registered users speak. However in the meantime the only ops in #guix were unavailable. I think this will get fixed whenever Mark, Ricardo, or Ludo can get around to it. Visit #guile for technical support in the meantime.
