+\fBMorePrivacy\fR (boolean)
+This will cause ngIRCd to censor user idle time, logon time as well as the
+part/quit messages (that are sometimes used to inform everyone about which
+client software is being used). WHOWAS requests are also silently ignored.
+This option is most useful when ngIRCd is being used together with
+anonymizing software such as TOR or I2P and one does not wish to make it
+too easy to collect statistics on the users.
+Default: no.

+\fBScrubCTCP\fR (boolean)
+If set to true, ngIRCd will silently drop all CTCP requests sent to it from
+both clients and servers. It will also not forward CTCP requests to any
+other servers. CTCP requests can be used to query user clients about which
+software they are using and which versions said softare is. CTCP can also be
+used to reveal clients IP numbers. ACTION CTCP requests are not blocked,
+this means that /me commands will not be dropped, but please note that
+blocking CTCP will disable file sharing between users!
