<div style="border: 1px solid gray; border-style: dashed; border-radius: 15px;"> | |||
<Sove> Most # channels I'm in have filed no grf<br> | |||
<Sove> :p<br> | |||
<Ttech> Sove, However to reclaim one, you need a grf-f and once GMS is finished, you will need a GRF to have one.<br> | |||
'''<+dax> One of these days, we're going to enable enforcement of the primary namespace, and the sound of "I told you so" from staff is going to render the userbase deaf for weeks'''.<br> | |||
<Sove> dax, and all # channels not having one will be dropped automatically?<br> | |||
'''<PriceKid> My one # channel got dropped'''<br> | |||
<PriceKid> I was planning to get a grf-f<br> | |||
<+dax> Sove: We're still working out the details, but I don't imagine they'll make off-topic channels very happy.<br> | |||
</div> | |||
Basically this means that our channels are under a constant danger of being forcefully dropped. Since gaming is off-topic to Freenode, the GRF-f sent by Kryten was denied. While the threat of forceful drop seems to be pretty minor, it still exists and things won't go nice when they start to enforce the channel naming policy, if they haven't yet dropped the channels at that point. | |||
I think we should prepare a plan just in case the channel is forcefully dropped. We pretty much have three choices, if we'll need to move our channels. | |||
1) Use #seiwa- prefix (eg. #seiwa-KHWiki). This had support before these present channels were registered (as you can see above). SEIWA is a registered group in Freenode and any channel under its namespace is protected from any possible forceful drop (except if I don't like the channel), and is considered an official channel in Freenode. | |||
2) Use ##KHWiki- prefix. ## channels are for topical and reference channels, so I'm not entirely sure how Freenode's staff would feel about using it. Since these channels are considered unofficial in Freenode, it might have an impact on how readers see us. | |||
3) Find another IRC network. I don't recommend this at all, it's just too complicated. | |||
