I will no longer tolerate any sort of Twitch-like chatspam. Offenders will be banned if they don't knock it off. Offenders will also be banned if I hear any more complaints from other NIWA wikis (with suitable proof of course). If things don't quiet down effectively, I'll get SpamServ into the channel to help curb it. We've been too lax on this and it's time to quit screwing around.

:I'm going to chime in here and add my own point of view. I've seen the spam here, (posting in ALL CAPS, typing out odd faces with characters I've never seen on a normal keyboard, using non-existant words like "goy" and "uwu", etc.) and I'll admit, it's pretty boring to come on IRC anymore because of it. Every time I show up, it's pretty much the same group of users clogging the chat with constant uses of the examples listed earlier in this post, among LOLs and other shit like that, so I fully agree with reinforcing the no-spam rule. As for the trolling...I honestly haven't seen it. The only thing that comes to mind that even resembles trolling is that overused "tech skill" joke, but from what I've seen, it hasn't offended anyone. Also, I've occasionally seen users badmouthing other IRC regulars | |||
(most notably, Brian) when the users that the conversation is centered on aren't in the chat. Though of course, the trolling that you're specifically referring to might be a different case. | |||
:So here's my idea. First things first, I say we remove the "All enforcement is done at a moderator's discretion" rule, since every time I see these things happening on the channel, there are usually about 3-4 mods on, (not counting you) and from what I've seen they haven't done anything. From now on, the mod should immediately take action when they see someone breaking a rule and/or receive a log of it. Oh, and while I suggest that, I might as well suggest another rule that I've been planning to propose for months now, since I think that it may help alleviate the situation somewhat: | |||
:"Keep the posts on as few lines as possible. Do not type sentences that are less than 3 words long repeatedly, and never post one word at a time. Using too many lines to convey your messages floods the chat, and makes it difficult for others to get what you're saying." | |||
:Hopefully this rule, plus my other suggestions will make the IRC a better place. Aaaand, that's all I've got. '''[[User:MeatBall104|MeatBall104;]]''' [[User talk:MeatBall104|Now with lean,]] [[Special:Contributions/MeatBall104|grass-fed Angus!]] 19:27, 22 October 2014 (EDT) |
