Unfortunately, I have a different opinion about that one. Text-based
communication tends to be very chaotic and moderating is neither improve
productivity nor is there a good way to actually do this.

While IRC works great for up to three people, 10 people writing all at
once is asking for trouble.

Moderating the channel to only have one person at a time as the active
speaker (minus the moderator) will put stress on people and they even
tend to forget what questions they had in the first place. Further, this
way, no (constructive) input from other people can be handled in real-time.

That's a valid point and an advantage of text-based communication... But
I doubt people will want to dig through pages and pages to count of
unfiltered IRC logs.
