I only visit IRC to increase my e-penis size.

The goon channel was popular prior to Pacho's client.

The only reason that channel is "popular" is because pacho links to it,I think allot of people would like an alternitive.

you can go seek the promised land for all the whining little shits that keep making these threads or you can sit your ass down and be silent

What a delightfully backward attitude.

youll notice theres always something off with the people that make these, and somehow everyone else seems to get along just fine

If you mean those who make threads like this, maybe, there are certainly people who either refuse or are completely unable to get along. However, this thread is either blowing the situation out of proportion or there's actually a problem. While I said his name is stupid, permabanning him for it is also stupid. It's just a name. Now, if he's banned for acting like a moron, that makes this entire thread idiotic.

If not, it sounds like people are being silenced for speaking out against irrational moderation, which deserves every insult it receives.

He was playing an insufferable character hence the name and the behaviour on the forum. I don't know about you but I deal with idiots all day long at my work, I rather not be harassed by them when I relax. The deal has always been change the name/don't act like a twat and get unbanned. Which he did so he got unbanned.
There really is no bigger story here I'm afraid

[Avu]

Guys don't forget to unban me. If you don't you'll never get the satisfaction (silly as it may be) of banning me again... or don't, your call

Did it ever cross your mind it's maybe you being off and not all the others?
Id also get along with guys that suck my dick all day long for some recognition.

If you do not wish to provide this channel as a Public Resource anymore, i suggest it should be announced and removed from the Public Resourses stickie.

now why in the world would someone do this without offering a worthy replacement

your disagreeing with how #haven is run doesnt make it less 'public' or somehow mandate its removal

Im not really sure what you are arguing about? are you saying because of the fact there is no replacement for a public server, it mandates the moderators on that public server to behave however they like even if its good or bad? Thats just silly.

After 15 years of using IRC, also having been a moderator myself in the past i think i am fully capable of stating some of the commonley known unwritten rules that defines a public server.

I mearley stated common sens in my full post and stated the risk of what will happen in the future if it actually starts to get to much out of line. i am not stating that the server is or is not even in that state yet tho, i wouldnt really know exaktley in what state it is atm since i have not been on it for a few weeks. Personally i have never had any problems with it, never ben banned or had any problems with any moderators on it, nor do i want to se it reach that state. wich is one of the reasons why i made that post in the first place.

More complaints posts then i have ever seen about the state of the IRC have been seen on the forums latley.
Personally when i read this one i thaught it was a bit silly to perm ban becouse of a name at the same time as i thaught it was silly to refuse to change it when a moderator ask you to. Wich finally made me type my post. They where both beeing silly in my mind, but that is my own view.

However maybe i should have said that the public also have their own responsebility to behave on a publik server and obey under its rules, harassing the public or disrespecting the moderators is way out of line aswell, it goes both ways. Any moderators should always be treated with respect, but any kind of moderator should also show good example so that they do not loose that respect. common sens basically. I mean Instead of mounthing back to a moderator you feel is treating you bad to the point you get a ban is really not using your common sense, common sense if you feel misstreated is to talk to a senior moderator about your complaints/Problems with this particular moderator and let them deal with it for example.

hmm... how about a simple sollution to prevent small conflicts like this, might be to make a small list of your basic common rules and your special rules for the server so that the public knows exaktley what is expekted of them and what happens if they dont obey under them. example: " rule one- nicknames should be kept simple, and easily readable" if you are asked to change your name by a moderator change it or risk a kick/ban". Or whatever rules you intend to have on the server. even if i personally would think this example rule was a bit silly, i would still obey it and respect it if i knew it was there and applyed to everyone. and so would probably the original OP of this thread have done if he knew about it. it would probably make the moderators job a lot easier aswell. what do you guys think about something like that?

[exewu]

For the love of god no he wouldn't. You know how I know this? Because I asked him multiple times to change his nick. Why are you people all so bloody dense?
Also he's not permabanned and never was. Again read the things that have been posted instead of the whines by the same 3/4 people and you might actually have a clue as to what is going on.

edit: also please do realise that the English language actually heavily utilises the letter C instead of K. Use firefox with a spell checker!

edit 2: rules that are linked in the topic of the channel: http://haven.pastebin.com/5SxiETjE Get it? they are a joke but also serious.
