For the public record, I was de-opped, and then again Kick-Banned from the IRC channel by our beloved Dwarfman. I am told changing the topic to the daily happenings is against his policy!

For this Dwarfman, I apologize.

He seemed upset over discussion by some of our other members.

For that Dwarfman, I apologize.

You also have told me that you DO NOT want to hear the truth from us!

Dwarfman - I APOLOGIZE

And, of course, it seems you do not like when I mock you, dear Dwarfman,

and for this, I deeply apologize.

If you feel that stating that everyone hates me publicly in the topic of the IRC chatroom not a bad thing, you are an idiot.

I give up with IRC, leaving it for good starting now (feel free to set an over/under for my return, I guarantee you that over will win).

Agreed, that's why I'm getting right out. Not only is it annoying being around a few assholes, it's making me an asshole aswell - and naturally I want to stop that.

Is managing the IRC drastically different from running the forums? Why can't you guys (the Ops of IRC) manage the IRC like we run the forums, i.e., keep a friendly, troll-free environment?

Is it much more difficult?

How about setting some policies regarding attitudes and courtesy? And enforcing them by kicking twice, then banning?

It doesn't need mods. That's the problem. There should just be one op period.

It's the downswing of FTR but I still have a lot of fun in there.

That poses a danger to hackers if no ops are active at any one time.

Either way it's not my problem anymore.

Who? There has to be several to make sure atleast one is always active to protect from flooding and bad beats. Having multiple ops shouldn't pose a problem.

Ops fighting eachother is just silly. Hopefully it has been solved now. If doggz and dwarfman fight again both their ops will be gone. Only problem is that it's hard finding people who're active enough to be ops.

And yes, there has to be moderation. Otherwise people will spam and post bad beats which will piss others off and create an even worse atmosphere in there.

Good.

All right then, since dwarfman won't be going there much anymore the problem should be solved.
I also want LeFou to be perm-op in there but I'm not sure how active he is.

Anyone. The ops never protected against the flooding bad beats. Besides, anyone who's playing just wants to say something like "Damn, AA<AK" when it happens. If people would just hold it to that instead of 4 lines of all caps, we'd be fine.

Nah, you're assuming that everyone in IRC is set in there ways of spamming and bad beats. Just let one person op for a month and the place'll turn around.

Well rilla, you know that people can't keep it like that.

When someone gets horribly bad beaten the result is always the same, and it's not "Damn, AA<AK"
The resulting spam pisses off everyone else and this is why we need ops. I don't see where you're going with 1 one op only. If the ops are acting like they should and getting along it wouldn't make a difference if we had 1 or 5 ops.

And we've had some serious case of flooders and whiners in there...

And having 30 ops never solved that problem.

We should just make a shit list and figure out punishment.

Well anyway, the problem should now be solved. And I made Saxin perm-op to have a european active op since me, dwarfman and estrop aren't that active. I will most likely be active again in a couple of weeks.

Now if this doesn't work out I'll see what has to be done..right now I'm way too hung over to put more into it.

I think what you need is a hierarchy of opps. Someone is always in charge and if a higher opp comes in then the person hands over moderation to the guy who just came in. That way there is always only one active opp, yet always an opp there. Also the hierarcy would need to chosen by vote I think.

I don't know much about IRC though. How does this sound?

I say we start from scratch.

Axe ALL the current Ops. Start a thread here asking for active IRC members that would like to be Ops. Xianti will pick the 10 best candidates (based on my assessment of their character, maturity and responsibility), and then a public poll will be taken to determine the 5 most popular.

And we'll have 5 new Ops.


How does that sound?

Kicking is a joke because people just sign right back on two seconds later.
Just starting banning people.

Telling Bad Beats = Ban
Swearing = Ban
Gay Jokes = Ban
Arguing = Ban

I really don't know how it works, but can you not specify the duration of the ban (5 minutes, a day, etc.)? There is simply too much tolerance for immaturity. At this point I think the most important thing is to have mods that will enforce the rules.

I know it's a chat rooom and anything is open to discussion, but personally I would like to see more poker related discussion/teaching going on. If you could find a couple winning players that would be willing to spend a little time in IRC I think it would be a great benefit. I know many of them left long ago, but perhaps if you approached a few of them with a new plan of where we would like IRC to go and maybe even offered them a mod position you would be able to entice them to come back.

How does that sound?

I'm pretty new here, and even newer to IRC, but I'll chip in my 2 cents. It seems that since I joined the FTR channel, the ops have been battling each other. I can't remember how many times I've seen ops kick and ban other ops, apparently for no reason. Besides that, I've seen people enter only to be kicked and banned 2 seconds later for some absurd reasons "You down pwn" or some other bs. Hell, one time even I got kicked, apparently because I was idling (I was asleep). Anyone who's read the seminal study by Milgram on authority knows how people react when given a little bit of power.

Now, I'm fairly familiar with IRC, but since I'm on 24/7, whether active or idling, I do have the ability to scroll up and see what I missed while I was sleeping. I'm not sure how #FTR is run, but how odd that 1 op may kickban 3 people during the night, then another op comes on, deops Op#1, removes the ban from the 3 people, and then decides to ban two others who aren't even present (Of course, I can't tell who these people are, since I only see the @ip-address)

EDIT: Just as aperfect example, after this whole thing with Dwarfman and Doggz, this morning Ake came in, apparently cleared things op, deopped Dwarfman, did a little bit of other work, etc. Now dwarfman just came back in the room, and L gives him ops, apparently because someone reopped him. This "treading on the toes" of other ops seems to be the norm in the channel and it definitely needs to be done away with. (This is not an attack on dwarfman and whether or not he has ops, but it just makes my point).

That said, I have my own ideas about who, to me, have appeared to be good ops, but I would second X!anti's idea of starting over with 5 new ops, with nominations and final decisions by X!anti and Ake, who, as far as I can tell, are much more "in control" here, both literally and mentally.

Also, perhaps you could nominate an additional 3-5 to have Voice, as sort of "Ops-in-training," who could eventually be given ops. Of course, final decisions on those should be up to X!anti and Ake as well.

Ha, ban for gay jokes. Gay jokes are just what kids are telling these days. We've been telling gay jokes for YEARS now, you can't change that. If you want to come to IRC, you're gonna have to deal with a little immaturity. Also, fuck swear-banning. The f-bomb rule didn't work for the WSOP. It wont work for IRC.

Swearing adds nothing to a discussion. It doesn't offend me, but I just don't see the need for it. I am not offended by gay jokes either, but I don't see how continually joking about homosexuality is going to help anyone's poker game. If you want to tell someone they're a little bitch or tell Lee Jones to go fuck himself and call each other fags then fine, but how about you do it over AIM, MSN or Yahoo instead of in IRC where everyone is subjected to it.

You know I like to clown around and bullshit, but if you really want to reform IRC then you need to set some rules. If you start to selectively enforce these rules then eventually things are going to get worse and worse and you'll again be left with what you were originally trying to avoid. Then when you start cracking down on the immaturity people are going to be upset becase you previously made exceptions for the same behavior.

A sentimental "Guys, IRC had become incredibly immature so let's do better in the future, ok? Everyone in? Alright, GO TEAM!!!" attitude just isn't going to get it done. If you really want to reform IRC then make some actual efforts to do so. Set some standards of what will and will not be tolerated then make sure they are enforced.

Sigh, they left because people don't listen. We preach and all we hear is bitching and bad beats. We can't turn loosing players into winners if they don't care/ don't listen.

... and I think some of them left because off all the complaining.

I think that the #flopturnriver channel should be used as a 'community' channel, while lambchop's new channel #ftr-pokeronly could be used for more serious poker discussion.

Discuss.

Great idea in theory, midas, but (1) it doesn't solve the problems in the #flopturnriver, i.e. the ops kickbanning each other, debanning and reopping other people, etc. and (2) I'm afraid that eventually the #ftr-pokeronly channel, without similar standards, will degrade into what #flopturnriver is now.

[23:45] #ftr-pokeronly unable to join channel (address is banned)
[23:45] <DoGGz> timeout!
[23:46] <dwarfman> nice of you to show your immaturity

And no, I didn't say ANYTHING offensive, in fact I was discussing ROI in a Stars normal SnG vs a Stars turbo SnG at the time.

I am befuddled as to why I am banned from the serious poker talk channel.

Dwarf, it's not just about you. There are innumerable situations similar to it. Many people are tired of it and there is a general concensus for reform. The question is, how do we go about doing it?

This has nothing to do with this thread. Take this else where.

On top of that, why are you posting PRIVATE messages into this forum? If I were to post all the messages you sent me Xianti would have already banned you from the forums.

Miffed22001 is on a distinguished road
I think we have blown this quite out of proportion.
Yes ill take my slating for having a funny or for being booted for bantering on about bad beatz. But i think this is way over the top. Yes on occasion irc has got a touch out of control, i dont like to point out dman because he DOES (period) do an exellent job as an op as do the others. I think though that banning people for example 2 hrs or something similar for either arguing, bad beating or other stuff SHOULD BE AN OPTION Therefore hopefully the guilty party calms down and secondly no hard feelings will exist. I suggest that this rule to ban someone for a few hrs needs to be confirmed by two people, at least one an op.
I just think a whole new set of ops or changing the channel is a mistake. It is only the exceptions that ruin it fromn time to time which we ARE ALL guilty of from time to time myself included

Well, vent mostly is people just chit-chatting or giving play by play in tournies.

Just so everyone knows how this started... I feel somehow this is making me look like the badguy.


<DoGGz> You were upset because demi was saying you were dumb
<dwarfman> ok it could have been worded better DoGGz.. pretty much what Miffosaurous just said
<DoGGz> and that is how this whole shit started
<dwarfman> demi wha?
<DoGGz> You were playing 600nl on your roll is what someone told us last night
<dwarfman> i was
<Miffosaurous> dman u made profit at poker thats a start now u have to mentally deal with it
<DoGGz> so OF COURSE they were flaming you

<Miffosaurous> thats means good discipline#
<dwarfman> that's my *little* lack of discipline
<DoGGz> And you got extremely upset over that
<Miffosaurous> quit that and youll be fine
<dwarfman> of course i got upset, i was tilted and emotional
<DoGGz> which ended up in YOU banning me, and forcing ME to appologize to get back into the channel
<dwarfman> i now understand that they were damn right the shout their ass off at me

<dwarfman> basically you quoted me in the topic saying that everyone on FTR hated me
<dwarfman> which i felt was a little rude
<DoGGz> that was it
<DoGGz> right?
<DoGGz> That is EXACTLY what you posted
<dwarfman> so i deopped you and asked for an apology to get your ops back
<DoGGz> and you banned me

This is how we got to this post.
