It also happened to me.

Mark granted me ops, but since I could not join #guix I wasn’t able to
correct the configuration problem.  It was only when rain1 and Andy
Wingo sent me instructions on how to invite myself to #guix that I could
remove the “i” flag.

I switched from “r” to “/mode +q $~a” as per the suggestions that Andy
forwarded.  This means that currently only people with registered
accounts can speak on the channel.

I would be much happier if we could filter messages or automatically ban
accounts posting these seemingly unchanging messages.  If someone has an
idea on how to do this, please let us know!
