Title: #Omnimaga IRC channel is back
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on October 11, 2007, 04:01:00 pm
After shutting down #omnimaga and #omnimaga-fr, since some people want the channel back, I've decided to re-open it for now, however it was not done without rule changes:

First of all, the accent in the rules has been put more on the fact that they applies in the IRC channel as well, not just the forums. Offense will lead to an immediate ban with no warnings in extreme cases or if things go out of control.

Second of all, we want to point out that overall negative attitude toward members is not tolerated in the channel, nor the forums. This includes whining about every single mistakes (if they are even mistakes at all) people do even if it doesn't matter at all to make the person feel bad, and this includes rudeness toward members.

Third and finally, the first rules were made shorter to make them more clear.

That said, the IRC chat and this forum is a privilege member and even anonymous users get, and they have to remember that nothing can stop the Root administrator from pulling the plug from the Omnimaga project.

Glad to see it back. :)smile.gif

Edit:removed the response to the original post that really sounded like I was opposing bringing it back after you edited your post.

Ah wow this sucks. I don't think insults will help get the channel back though. Either way it is up to DJ_Omnimaga.

Although I do agree that I don't want to see the channel go either.

I don't want to see the channel go. I am sure you could find a certain admin that would be willing to run it for you.

well a friend of mine(tari) who was greatly insulted by dj's actions is very pissed and I agree with him. I am reading the logs as I speak.
Edit: http://rafb.net/p/GYUysS12.html that is the full logs of what happened and I don't see a reason for all the kicks and bans at the end of it. I have never seen Brandonw say anything negative to anyone and if he has that was the wrong way to confront him about it.
I agree about the nick change thing I only change nick when I am going away other wise I am TheStorm and nothing else.

Do you think i could talk to him? Because I didn't meant to insult him in any way, I just had lot of trouble recently and it's very hard to manage a channel

OH I doubt he will ever show up there a gain but I will tell him you said you were sorry. But you do need to back away some times and clam down you over react to a lot. If you are starting to rant just log off and calm down.

yeah i know this, but it is hard for me as I had really bad experiences in the past IRL, and also online, especially with tcpa members, which is why i get rather defensive when one of them who is in #Omnimaga complain about something or start an argument. I know it's not all tcpa members who are like that, even nikky cooled down in #omnimaga, but it's hard to trust people from here anymore

Just because you've had issues in that past think positively don't instantly assume they are here for the wrong reasons.

AllIi am going to say is sometimes you need to back away and calm down or talk to the person you are mad at in person. ie. private chat so your anger doesn't affect the rest of the channel.

Don't worry about it, everyone do mistakes sometimes, and most of the time we can learn from them.

I personally decided to take some time off from the channel when I posted this topic though as well as other big channels, because last week my life was very unstable and atm I do not guarantee it is stable so I'm waiting a few more days to come back. And to be fair on forum/irc rules a ban was set on myself for the week for channel disruption and causing trouble. I don't think it would have been fair if I wasn't banned for shutting down the channel while discussion was occuring and during a busy day (and since the only way to close a channel is by setting a ban on * or *!*@* it made some people think they were banned, thus causing misunderstoods), while randomist was banned for at least a month for similar things (altough he got banned before)

Basically Telroth (Darth_Android) is in charge of the channel with Rivereye and Tifreak8x atm (as the two other IRC channel admins aren't active (Sonata and Tenniskid)) So it will be telroth, rivereye or tifreak8x who will have to unset the ban for me when I come back since i no longer have access to the channel

I still comes here of course though so don't worry and if i happen to be using the nick DJ_Omnimaga in #djomni (private channel) you amy be able to /query me on IRC, else i am always on AIM, MSN or the others

Edit(Netham45):Fixed a typo in tifreaks name that was bugging me. :)smile.gif

I don't understand your question

Post by: Liazon on October 21, 2007, 05:28:00 am
i'm tempted to say, he means where did the channel go, since he didn't post in this topic before.

Oh oops I forgot to put the channel back in the top bar, but you can use a real IRC client (instead of the crap that was in the top bar) to access the channel like Chatzilla, MIRC, X-chat or Kvirc

As for graphics they are down becuase United-TI server has been down since this morning. Idk what's wrong because I can still access the FTP fine and IRC works as well at the time I am writing this
