   So rooms are "global" between whatever hosts your host happens to know about? So it's one giant netsplit party forever and only your server admin can ban someone?

      Bans are per server (for what I have seeing). Federated rooms continue to exist if a server drops off, as no server "owns" them.

         That doesn't answer the question.

         How are you resolving things like... user name collisions when the servers reconnect?

            I am not the owner of the project, I just use it. Federated rooms have no owners, there will be no collisions (they would simply merge). Nicks are tied to their own servers, and hence unique and will not collide.
