this *is* a serious question, not a troll.

unordered questions:

if i, as a channel-op, want to report logs as evidence to a third
party, i have to ask the admins for help to translate the mangled
hostnames to real ones. do the admins really want to meddle in that?

does dcc chat/ping/etc still work?

what does *the network* have to gain from hostmasking users? aren't we
making it ourselves more difficult? aren't we making it chanops more
difficult?
