IRC Channels that start with a hash (#) need to be in quotes in the config file

[m3dwards]

Could file this one under user error as a quote makes a comment in the yaml file but it caught me out. Perhaps the documentation and the example config files could include channel names that start with a hash and are in quotes. This would give an example and maybe stop someone from having to check the logs to see why it can't talk to their IRC channel.

Yes, I've stumbled on this as well. It's an unavoidable artifact of YAML syntax but it would be good to document it as a potential footgun.

Edit: Maybe it would be best to recommend always quoting channel names, for consistency.
