rcirc: Notices

 
 3.4 Notices
 ===========
 
 In busy channels you might not be interested in all the joining,
 parting, quitting, and renaming that goes on.  You can omit those
 notices using ‘C-c C-o’.
 
    You can control which notices get omitted via the
 ‘rcirc-omit-responses’ variable.  Here’s an example of how to omit away
 messages:
 
      (setq rcirc-omit-responses '("JOIN" "PART" "QUIT" "NICK" "AWAY"))
 
    Notice that these messages will not be omitted if the nick in
 question has recently been active.  After all, you don’t want to
 continue a conversation with somebody who just left.  That’s why ‘rcirc’
 checks recent lines in the buffer to figure out if a nick has been
 active and only omits a message if the nick has not been active.  The
 window ‘rcirc’ considers is controlled by the ‘rcirc-omit-threshold’
 variable.
