Forum:Huge problems on the IRC

Guys, if rules are being broken, then use the ban-hammer. Simple. As. That. If EVEN MORE mods are required, I suggest someone consider me. I'm mod at #FFwiki, and in general, I'm a pretty decent mod. Adola 10:25, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

No one has ever asked for the logs. Why would I just spew them out everywhere? Ask for the logs, and you will receive Adola 08:42, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

(EC'd FOUR TIMES)Nothing's ever truly fixed by a vote... I like TNE's analogy. It explains what we need to do to a T. " What does KH teach most of the time where the protagonists are concerned ? Charity. Behave likewise and the IRC will be in perfect shape. You gotta admit that the IRC is experiencing growing pains, but it's too early to pass a judgement and say that it's time to erase the channel." That pretty much sums up what I think about this matter. We also need to re-think how we conduct ourselves. A lot. You can also add another dead body to the pile they'll need to step over to get rid of the IRC. Remember what we're all here for. One series of games. Kingdom Hearts, above all else, promotes kindness, compassion, and friendship. If anything's gonna change, we need to stop acting like Organization XIII, with everyone running their own agendas, not caring about anyone else. We need to be one community, not several. One sky, one destiny. Remember those words. SAME HERE ! I have been EC'd !

Well folks, I've read all of this, and there's something I'd like to point out. IRC, is similar to a family. Almost everyday, the same users sign in, and sit. No one comes on to tell breaking news, or to ask difficult questions, or to even ask for help. We go on there, to just idly banter with our mates. In short, like all families, there's a few bad eggs, there's a few blacksheep, and there's a few troublemakers. We'll pull trough. When my server hosting goes through, the bot will be there 24/7 reporting EVERY curse word. I suggest mods ask for that log every once in a while. As for the fighting, I suspect like someone said, 'growing pains'. And I'd also like to note that Dan's above statement carries some weight. Dunno about you guys, but sounds like he's wording it like a kid who's trying to get away from bullies, a kid who's appealing to the bullies so they'll just leave him alone. To me, it sounds like Dan is trying his best to just keep things cool, so the channel doesn't get abolished. And I suspect that's how a lot of people are feeling. I'm wondering how many other people felt worried, or annoyed, or sad at DTN's comment about removing the channel. If it's more than 1, then that's plenty of reason to keep this thing around.

I suspect the only logical reason for removing this channel, would be to distort or abstract the associations made by it's users to the rest of the world. As in, to not have #wikia-kingdomhearts known as a breeding pit of trouble. However, if anyone is thinking that deleting the channel would solve the problem, it most certainly wouldn't. That's just a programmer's look into it. Trying to be as logical as I can.

In short, no amount of mods, or rules, or strikes, or threats could fix this 'problem'. Our members are just going to have to grow up a bit. We can try our best, but in the end, we're not going to decide how this channel plays out. We need to either let it soar, or let it burn. Adola 09:41, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
