Kudos for making this AGPL. This is exactly the sort of software that should use such a license.

User's of an IRC server deserve to know whether their operator has started recording messages, added or removed security features, or otherwise be free to review said code.

All chat software should be AGPL.

I don't understand how this is related - it's probably easier to tap messages outside of the software via packet capture or something than to modify the software to record them.

Also, someone who's interested in recording messages without user consent is probably also totally fine with violating the license.

Obligatory mention that there’s no way to prove whether the server is running that exact code or the operator has modified it.
