@doy Since IRC doesn't have the concept of status updates, and we want to provide that functionality, we went with mapping it to /me. If it becomes a major annoyance, we might change it later.
IRC does have a concept similar to status updates:
Failing that (as that would be global and not specific to a channel) appropriate your own CTCP other than ACTION to perform status updates. Using ACTION is really weird.
Could these be sent as normal actions instead? When people in the web client say "/me jumps", it's rendered on the IRC side as "* user jumps", but when people on the IRC client say "/me jumps", it's rendered to other IRC users as "* user changed status to: jumps", which is a bit odd.
