Proposal for handling unregistered users on IRC - By default, most IRC clients can be told to autoconnect and issue identify messages to NickServ.
Unfortunately the ident message isn't sent quick enough resulting in being dumped into #fedora-unrgistered.

A workaround exists that the user can "{{{ /set irc_join_delay 10 }}} in xchat to delay joining 10 seconds" but this is a kludge and forces each user to configure the setting which seems to be contrary the fedora idea of fixing the bugs at the layer they occur rather than issuing workarounds.

I propose two possible solutions but they're not exhaustive - I'm not an IRC expert, just a user.

1. Set users to -v such that they have no voice in the main channel until identified?.
2. Get #fedora-unregistered to kick back to #fedora when a user has been identified.

Any additional notes or logs:
None. Thanks for the pointers and being open to suggestions.

Thanks for your feedback!
