I'd like to nominate myself and Remear. I'm SpaceGhostC2C. I've been in #RubyonRails for a month and I spend about 16-20 online and available on IRC and although I'm not as pro as Radar is with Rails, I have knowledge and background in rails and know where to go for resources and help in terms of asking questions.
As an op of my own channels (Everyone has them), I don't believe in banning for any reasons other than spam and +q evasion. I personally talk to the user in the channel to try and get them to calm down, then in query if they persist, and if it doesn't get resolved, then I apply a +q for a while. I let them see how the channel interacts without their 'input', then I either wait for them to talk to me about it after calming down, or I check in with them if they stay in the channel. I've not actually had to ban anyone except those who evade their quiet, and continue abusing, then I ban their normal hostname and any subsequent nicks/ hostnames. I also don't believe kicking is every helpful except when kickbanning someone. I'd like to have one thing weighed with my nomination for myself. I am working on not engaging in verbal discussions with those whose goal isn't constructive to the channel and is targeting users purely for abuse. If I were made part of the team for ops, then I'd feel a bigger responsibility to the channel and take greater care that others not interpret my words in negative ways, and better disconnect myself from issues that take too much effort to solve remotely and would be better solved if the user did more research of their own. This was a problem with one user who was 'help-vampiring' and had previously attacked another user in the channel. He got a +q until he chilled out, but then went back to his antics. He got angry because the person helping him absolved himself of the issue. It seems it's a trait of the offender, which I've become aware of and don't engage with that user except when I can point them towards a direct and simple solution. ~SpaceGhost On Jan 11, 3:07 pm, Jeremy Kemper <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tue, Jan 11, 2011 at 6:48 AM, Andy Lindeman <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thoughts on adding Radar (Ryan Bigg), alindeman (me), and/or other > > trusted folks who contribute to the IRC channel?
