Hi all,
There was an incident the other day in which someone requested support
in the #ubuntustudio-offtopic IRC channel. I answered their question but
requested they move to #ubuntustudio since this gets more view (and is
properly logged), but instead of doing the right thing and doing what
was requested, this person decided to berate me, then threaten me which
then got them kicked out and banned for violating the Ubuntu Code of
Conduct, after which they continued to threaten me via private message,
which then got them reported to staff and, likely, K-lined.
This, however, did get me thinking: this isn't the first time people
have been confused about the purpose of #ubuntustudio-offtopic, though
this is the first time someone has been so verbally violent about it.
Additionally, #ubuntustudio-offtopic doesn't see much use other than
Krytarik correcting my grammar. :)
With that, I propose sunsetting #ubuntustudio-offtopic and combining it
with #ubuntustudio to make #ubuntustudio a support *and* discussion
channel, but anything other than the topic of Ubuntu Studio would be
requested to move to #ubuntu-offtopic for general chit-chat, as
#ubuntu-offtopic is a much more active room. The general idea is to
lower the confusion and to allow people to feel more welcome to discuss
Ubuntu Studio in our main chat.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks in advance,
Erich
