This is a recent development that was reported here:

and needs to be addressed.
FWIW, I don't think it should be locked down to registered users
either - but since I pretty much don't hang out in #haiku or monitor
the channel, I guess my opinion doesn't count for much these days.
+1,m please remove this restriction. Haiku has an open community, and an
open IRC channel. If you can't bear the trolls, ignore them or don't do
IRC.
Adding restrictions on the channel like this is making the trolls win
the fight. It is even more annoying than the trolls themselves. People
using an unconfigured vision (as #HaikuUser) will not be able to join
the channel anymore, which means we never will get new people to come
and stay there, and the channel does not serve its main purpose as an
easy way to reach the devs and ask for help.
