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.
