What has happened to IRC? reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nuttjacob · 2011-02-14 03:34 Who runs the reddit IRC channel? It seems like they're run by trolls. I've been banned many times. I've also been sent stupid wiseguy messages multiple times. Does this really happen to other people on a regular basis? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2011-02-14 04:20 No, just you. :( ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nonexistent7 · 2011-02-14 08:30 It happened to me also. I haven't joined #reddit ever since. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- decemberwolf · 2011-02-14 12:15 what? did you expect anything else from IRC? fuck me man, read bash.org and see it is the same everywhere. I used to IRC all the time for planetarion and after about 10 minutes you realise trolling is all there is to do. I mean, a bunch of people who only hang on IRC dont make for great "hey guess what I did today" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DonSlice · 2011-02-14 12:45 I blame bep. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- aperson · 2011-02-14 15:08 Don't we all? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- __loridcon · 2011-02-14 15:18 you just gotta find the right channel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- __loridcon · 2011-02-14 15:18 we're nice and friendly in #radioreddit on irc.radioreddit.com :D ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2011-02-14 15:31 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2011-02-14 15:32 Pointing to bash.org as an example of IRC on the whole is a dumb comparison. Only 'funny' quotes are allowed on there - so it isn't an accurate representation of IRC as whole. That'd be like pointing to reality shows as an accurate depiction of life on the whole. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nuttjacob · 2011-02-14 16:31 Yeah, it's not like I haven't used IRC. I've been on #wrongplanet a lot. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- decemberwolf · 2011-02-14 17:48 right, but they are all of a very similar nature, and are actually quite a good example of the stereotypical IRC rat. reality show contestants are picked specifically because of their quirks and abnormal behaviour, because that generates conflict and conflict sells. bash.org quotes are submittable by anyone and therefore have a larger sample base. also, with the rise of so many bash.org clones and their separate databases of quotes, you still see a very similar sort of humor there in addition to similar reactions and behaviour from the people in the quotes. this removes a lot of the bias of the bash.org moderators from the equation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2011-02-14 17:56 Why? It's Jesst that ruined the channel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2011-02-14 19:17 You're welcome to come along and talk to us in the (relatively new) official sex channel. Find us here: http://webchat.freenode.net/?randomnick=1&channels=reddit-sex&uio=d4 Or if you're using an IRC client, put "irc.freenode.net" in the Server bit, and "#reddit-sex" as the channel. We're a nice bunch. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nuttjacob · 2011-02-14 20:01 Mmmmmmm. Get yo fat ass back here. I wanna gargle your marbles. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2011-02-14 20:12 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2011-02-14 20:22 How does someone get banned multiple times, or did you then get unbanned each time? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2011-02-14 20:37 I blame paradox ---------------------------------------------------------------------- no_numbers_here · 2011-02-14 20:47 yes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ommadon · 2011-02-14 22:10 I mis-read that as what's happened to IRC in general. Bring back real IRC, complete with Hershey bars and quick quips about 'yo mamma'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nuttjacob · 2011-02-14 22:44 Yes, the latter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2011-02-14 22:58 Do you understand why you were suspended each time? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nuttjacob · 2011-02-15 00:03 There was no explanation. It just said I was suspended. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- livejamie · 2011-02-15 00:58 [Post logs](http://pastie.org) please. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nuttjacob · 2011-02-15 01:02 And where are these logs? You really don't have to go this far just to prove an idiot of yourself. EDIT: Sorry, I was a little harsh. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- livejamie · 2011-02-15 01:40 Oh, most clients will keep logs - sometimes you have to specify a place to save them to. Alternatively you can just copy-paste it into notepad the next time it happens. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nuttjacob · 2011-02-15 01:53 Ah, okey doke. Yeah, I use ChatZilla. I probably just haven't researched the advanced features of it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TechnoL33T · 2011-02-15 02:36 If ALL of irc was actually that fucking funny, I'd never do anything else. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- otterdam · 2011-02-21 02:29 Pretty impressive for someone who's said 6 lines in 3 months
