Call for arms! #Reddit needs *you*! reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- reddit_irc · 2010-11-09 17:57 \#Reddit has grown to well over 400 ~~inmates~~ members and hundreds of various "sub" channels. With this the current operator team recognises a call for cohesion and an increased operator presence in the channel; this does not mean a call for stricter policing. A few things are going to change in #reddit. I'll outline them for you below. We will have a dedicated invite only channel, #reddit-gov, that will be combining regular users and operators. Operators will ask for input from these members regarding channel operations. If Freenode had a "half-op" position we would use it, but they don't so we'll make our own! We are actively seeking more operators. We're especially interested in you night owls and Aussies as we have a big gap in operators while the Americans are sleeping and the Brits are still waking up. Feel free to ask any questions of the ops regarding these changes at any time: We invite everyone who is interested contact an op or reply below with your IRC name and I'll get a hold of you. We would like to get a large group of contributors together for the #reddit-gov channel as we recognize a need for diverse opinions and people in this group. Thanks :D ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2010-11-09 18:03 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2010-11-09 18:24 Ooh, I'll do it! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- aidrocsid · 2010-11-09 18:29 I'd be willing to help in any way you need. :) I've got plenty of experience as an irc op and forum mod, so I'm used to working with people. Admittedly my experience with larger numbers is more forum- based than chat-based, but I think it carries over. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jttam · 2010-11-09 19:27 Haha. I'm happy to help. I have a laid back attitude and am a night owl. :) I'm jttam on the channels. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nonexistent7 · 2010-11-09 21:48 I'm on freenode right now. /query Champions ---------------------------------------------------------------------- livejamie · 2010-11-10 01:35 Are things more structured now? I was AOP for a while but whoever was in charge of the channel didn't care or had left at some point so I kinda gave up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- aperson · 2010-11-10 09:45 You want a diverse opinion? I can promise that I don't think like any of the current ops. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nycerine · 2010-11-10 10:25 Variation? Diversity? Woohoo. ekkelett here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2010-11-10 20:24 Fascist policy? The rules are essentially "Don't be a cunt" if you think that's fascist than I suspect your education was quite poor. and if you want to be a cunt there's always 4chan. also for the record, kinda hard to make someone an op when they're using a different name ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- otterdam · 2010-11-10 20:57 There are a few ops around most times of the day (not all, hence request in topic), we do try to keep it reasonably sane! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- otterdam · 2010-11-10 21:00 This has nothing to do with you being banned, I'm sure. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- aperson · 2010-11-10 21:05 Not at all. I'm a channel veteran. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BAMAToNE · 2010-11-11 03:23 New to Reddit, but not IRC. I have to wonder why Reddit doesn't host its own IRC server? Then you can have half ops and whatever the hell you want. I went kinda o.O when I came across this section and saw #reddit was hosted on freenode. Nothing against that network; just thought it odd Reddit doesn't have irc.reddit.com set up. (Which is what I tried first before looking around.) Edit: Cool, just found [this](http://www.reddit.com/r/irc/comments/d8w61/irc_network/)... >.> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2010-11-14 18:58 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- koryk · 2010-11-15 22:04 koryk here, been a #reddit regular for years would like to join, not looking for any power, but I am usually on. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SeferYetzirah · 2010-11-16 22:39 Alright Ive got a question, what do we do about trolls in the rooms? There are some pretty large sperglords at times. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- spook327 · 2010-11-16 23:07 Yes, I want an IRC server with the reliability of reddit. Okay, in all seriousness, the guys running the show have enough to do already; running an ircd isn't going to help matters. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- riverstyxxx · 2010-11-21 06:05 Yeah man im in -xoxox ---------------------------------------------------------------------- riverstyxxx · 2010-11-21 06:07 Ignore them, no matter how hard the temptation to argue with them ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2010-11-21 17:52 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- vicester · 2010-11-23 05:01 nightowl here, irc nick: redjustice ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ukdkbr · 2010-12-01 20:18 So am I, can I have ops too? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2010-12-22 23:02 I want to be op, Paradox says I can ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kllian · 2011-01-09 16:49 I'd be glad to help out. I'm an op on the #spiceworks channel for www.spiceworks.com, free community based it management. Shoot me a PM if you're still looking for help.
