And, many clients would not support /blist. If they don't pass on 
unknown commands to the server, it wouldn't work. That would be a lot of 
trouble for people who don't know how to make aliases...

Wouldn't it be possible to change the /list output format, so spam bots 
can't recognize/parse the channels?
