Could we make it so all POLCA systems allow you to @a or otherwise "Cancel" out of them? There are a few at the moment where without a built in way to escape them you need to DC and then reconnect.

Which are you thinking of there?

Sounds like a bug to me if it's a POLCA. It should be possible to exit out of POLCAs with 'cancel'. You shouldn't have to disconnect to abort a POLCA.

Editors are a different thing (sometimes utilized by POLCAs) that use @a in some cases, but not all. It's not currently possible to abort a note that already exists, for example, but you can abort new notes and new mail.

Might be helpful to list the ones you're thinking of for consideration?

Ahh, hmm, perhaps in my mind I was imagining "Editor" and "POLCA" as the same thing, but I'll get together examples.
