SmashWiki talk:IRC/Archive 1

I'd like to propose amending this to make it so that behavior on the SmashWiki IRC counts as SmashWiki behavior; i.e., PAs and other ban-worthy behavior there affect a user's status on the wiki itself. Miles (talk) 20:39, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Considering that it's called the SMASH WIKI IRC, I figured it was obvious that it was related to smash wiki. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 21:43, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

And yet people can pretty much say whatever they want there and then use the argument that it's "off-site" and as such has no impact on their status on-wiki. Miles (talk) 21:45, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

I support this idea mainly because users use IRC to avoid SmashWiki policy. Y462 (T • C • E ) 23:58, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Cleanup

I was going to organise the page a bit to include stuff like the Freenode Gateway (which is better than the Wikia one) and a short list of channels aside from #wikia-smashbros that SmashWiki users might find useful, but I'm also considering making it more serious so it's more like other SmashWiki pages (for example, at the moment it has far too many exclamation marks for my liking). Anyone have any strong objections to me making it more serious? Penguin of Death 15:49, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

I don't mind. It's actually too lighthearted, I think, but you may also want to put methods of joining the channel on the page other than the Freenode Gateway. The "IRC client" link goes to Wikipedia, which is not necessarily helpful since it's giving a "Comparison of Internet Relay Chat clients"..... R A N1domchupunch!!! 18:32, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

I went ahead and serious'd it up. Hopefully I didn't take out anything actually important. Toomai Glittershine The Stats Guy 15:51, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

The hey's goin' on?

"Notice -- Server is currently split, channel modes are limited"
"Due to a network split, you can not obtain channel operator status in a new channel at this time"
"The nickname "NickServ" does not exist."
Someone in IRC land caused a fail. Toomai Glittershine The Table Designer 20:35, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

That's just cos Freenode is currently experiencing a "net split", which is where one of their servers crashes and anyone currently attached to the network through that server gets disconnected, and no one who uses that server to connect can do so. Just try again in a few minutes - they tend not to last very long. Penguin of Death 20:51, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't work?

I don't have an IRC client so I tried using the Wikia Gateway. But when I logged in, it says: "An error occurred. Communication socket already exists." What do I do?! movie138music - ^{( talk )} 15:36, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

What operating system/browser are you using? I don't really know anything about that error, but maybe this kind of info can help. Toomai Glittershine The Stats Guy 15:41, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

If Wikia Gateway Doesn't Work

Try This. Be sure to put #wikia-smashbros for channels. If that doesn't work, I can't help you. DP99 (C T E) 15:46, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

update with new IRC

Dun. Toomai Glittershine 17:20, 6 October 2010 (EDT)

I can't connect! My browser just says "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (irc) isn't associated with any program". Mr. Anon (talk) 21:48, 6 October 2010 (EDT)

Try here. Put #sw for the channel. Doctor Pain 99 (C T E) 21:57, 6 October 2010 (EDT)

This really needs to stop

OK, at this point I am fed up. I am tired of Doc and ZS always getting into flame wars with PH and Megatron. There needs to be a further enforcement of civility from now on. Mr. Anon (talk) 01:19, 12 June 2011 (EDT)

Me? That was some time ago. I'm not fed up with PH (though i am for what he did to Doc). Everytime PH is insulting me, i just say "lol", because i know he is trolling. And i dont get into flame wars with Mega (never had IIRC). Zeldasmash (talk) 09:10, 12 June 2011 (EDT)

Certain users just need to stop trolling and others need to stop feeding the trolls. DoctorPain99

Sorry about that Zeldasmash. I'm not always on there, so that was my mistake. You're fine. Mr. Anon (talk) 12:17, 12 June 2011 (EDT)

Bump. I am changing this to an official proposal. Should IRC Guidlines be changed to official rules? After a discussion here, I discovered that the current regulations are technically guidelines and therefore not strict rules. Mr. Anon (talk) 13:02, 13 July 2011 (EDT)

Why...

...am I banned from #sw?--P S I Wolf 06:56, 29 June 2011 (EDT)

Er...

Am I banned forever? No, I am not impatient (I can always go to #dk), just asking.--P S I Wolf 13:30, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

No, I'll never hand out a permaban for a first time offense for a normally good faith user. Omega Tyrant 14:49, 7 July 2011 (EDT)
