Rizon IRC has useless staff reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2015-11-21 23:13 [removed] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MrZimothy · 2015-11-22 00:22 I don't agree. Network-tier operator privs are for issues which affect the network. The network's various services make it extremely easy for channel operators to run off most troublemakers and prevent takeovers. The channel's staff failed you, not the network's. tl;dr I think you didn't get your way and and now you're pouting. Take your butthurt elsewhere. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- j4jackj · 2015-11-22 00:46 I fully agree. A person named wowaname harasses me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- j4jackj · 2015-11-22 00:46 Shut your mouth, bruv. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FiendKing04 · 2015-11-22 04:36 Really? No one is going to attempt to plug an alternative network? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Princess_Pwny · 2015-11-22 05:15 Pretty much. To expand on this a little, Chanserv, channel registration and the rest of the network services means that a "Takeover" is not possible through any means but the channel owners handing over founder or a founder getting their account compromised through their own fault. It's not the job of Rizon staff to babysit someone who can't even secure their own channel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- atomic1fire · 2015-11-22 07:15 /u/MrZimothy offers constructive feedback and you respond by telling them to shut up. Real mature. Bottom line is that it's not really the responsibility of the IRC server to babysit every channel. Short of police involvement, having to babysit every channel because feelings get hurt otherwise would just be tedious. IRC chatrooms have chat bots and operators for a reason. If the Chatroom sucks, go to a different one. If your IRC client supports an /ignore function, use that to block out someone who's bothering you. If you're being threatened with actual violence take the logs to your police department. If someone has hacked or attempted to hack you contact the FBI. Otherwise there's not much the IRC server actually has to do. It's not like you're paying Rizon to exist. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DStoo · 2015-11-22 14:38 This is what you get when a bunch of kids find IRC. IRC is not Reddit. They are not your babysitter. It's mostly the wild west as it has always been. You can't just go whining to the 'mods'. Most of them have real jobs and volunteer in their free time. There aren't "safe spaces". You don't get to be protected from the world on IRC. I find it hilarious when some Subreddit has a "You have to make your username similar to your Reddit name". No. Not at all. I'll sign in as a new 'person' every time I join IRC. It's how it was designed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Princess_Pwny · 2015-11-22 14:48 I once saw a game-specific channel were the mods wanted you to put [xbox] or [pc] after your name. I saw another channel who kicked idlers. I feel like the generation gap gets larger every day ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DStoo · 2015-11-22 15:22 > I saw another channel who kicked idlers. I had one that 'banned' me for logging. Saved be more than once when they claimed I said something other than I did. I'll cut some of them a break. They grew up with private chat controlled by a single company and think the same set of rules apply. Not to mention their hilarious attempts at bans. Between VPS, VPNs, Tor, Amazon AWS, etc do you really think bans are effective? There are more than enough [IRC modes](https://www.alien.net.au/irc/chanmodes.html) to support what ever levels of moderation you want without the global +b. > put [xbox] or [pc] after your name WTF. What if I'm in another channel? That should be a bot's job. Or you talk with people and just know who runs what, like we used to. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- joedonut · 2015-11-22 17:06 Perhaps no one wants OP on "their" network. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- phate408 · 2015-11-22 19:37 To expand on your point, it's just as possible OP could have been trying to get the opers to take over a channel for him. They don't have the time to go suss out the truth for any situation where this claim is made. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FiendKing04 · 2015-11-22 22:30 True. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DStoo · 2015-11-23 01:13 I miss the pre-'services' days. - Is anyone in the channel? Join it and it's yours. - Is someone already in the channel? It's their channel, deal with it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DryEagle · 2015-11-24 15:16 If you think Rizon's staff are bad, try talking to the Coldfront admin. I've managed to catch him once in half a year.
