Unofficial Sythe IRC

[MohtasaUnique]

It's funny you pick now of all time to address the issue, Richard, now that the webclient is down and more than half of the activity has been slashed because of it

WAY TO GO!!!! c;

 

[nodnarbusn]

diaFireZ . and i said maybe a proposed name change would be in order but regulation of an unofficial chat channed is pretty overboard . and x399 i do occasionally to talk to certain people, not under nodnarbusn most the time but thats what makes irc fun .

 

[Piramid]

everyone back to striked

 

[Piramid]

does this mean we can be banned/infracted for things we say in the IRC? if so, that's the shit i don't like.

Neither, IRC is like an extension of the spam forum

yeah but everyone breaks sythe rules in the IRC, is it now gonna be enforced?

You would think so but It seems like both are receiving a surge in regulation lately :\

I hope not eh, would make IRC a lot less appealing

If we didn't refer to it as Sythe IRC anymore at all and allowed banned members, you still wouldn't allow advertising, right?

Why? They're banned from the site, they should still be allowed in a community somewhat separate from the site. I was banned and was in this IRC for months, and I got to know a lot of people and they got to know me, and I believe that's the reason I got unbanned, simply because the libel Finn spewed when talking about me didn't hold up when they got to know me. Discussing hacking and scamming Sythe members, will obviously not be allowed in the IRC, just as it's not allowed now.

I support people being banned from a channel with this sites name on it. But banning people from a server with one channel on it relating to the site is madness.

• Remove redirects from sythe-irc.org
• Remove server bans directly relating to Sythe.org
• Ban people from the #Sythe channel if they are banned here
• Everyone wins

The exact same thing happened to sytheirc and ********* because neither party was willing to make any leeway. So please, for the sake of the users on both sides, help us make something work.

EDIT: Right, the other server is still censored. So only some people will know what I'm talking about.

 

[kill dank]

Just change the name guys, shit. Call it "The IRC" or some shit. It's not that hard.



Also, it's super easy to evade IRC bans..

 

[Deathsnova]

Ban alma from irc

 

[Sypherz]

Can we name it after me? Or masterchief, he deserves it

I'd be cool with MasterchiefIRC

This makes a lot of sense actually.

Richard, The network we're on is called Chatlair, its Cookiezzz's (a member here) network. He purchased the domain sythe-irc.org for a webclient which only points to the #sythe channel. Therefore honestly, It would be unfair to say that it was indeed a network JUST for sythe. If we keep everyone channel banned (which every staff member currently using the IRC can do, even some who are not staff) which will not be removed until there ban has passed, will that be fine? Ban evaders from the channel ban will be network banned for the remaining time.

Only issue is that myself, n4n0 and Verts would have to make sure these people are network banned, since we're the only network staff, so I think it'd be better to channel ban rather than network.

Personally, I don't see the reasoning behind making the IRC restrictive, and making all Sythe bans follow over.

Allowing all members (exlcuding hackers/actual threats to Sythe.org) benefits this site directly. If you look at google trends, and the activity of Sythe.org, it's about to hit an all time-low. Having the IRC open for all users, regardless of their Sythe status directly helps this site grow. Banned members may find the motivation to pardon/attempt to rectify their mistakes, simply by talking to people within the IRC, and being part of a community. Having that community feel greatly increases ones commitment to a site.

There's nothing else on the server except #sythe

I'd agree with you if there were 50 other channels and hundreds of users. But the server as far as I can see exists solely for sythe.org users to chat together. Thus applying bans only in #sythe would just cause banned members to circumvent; in fact everyone would just move to another channel: #sythe2, for example.

As I said, if you guys want to chat to banned users, fine. But don't call it SytheIRC and then refuse to follow the rules.

When we ban people we are excluding them from the community on the grounds that they broke the community rules. We do not then give them concessions by saying "but its ok, you can still interact with the community here." The whole point of being banned is that they shouldn't be breaking the rules to begin with, and have to wear some sort of punishment (i.e. exclusion) when they do.

And if you want to call it something else, then you can still advertise it. We will treat it the same as any other third party forum, game or internet thing. That is: as per our rules, if it supports scamming/hacking/ddosing/fraud/cp etc. then we won't allow you to advertise it, otherwise you may advertise it in your personal signature.

TBH: I would love it if you just dropped the SytheIRC name and called it Chatlair or something. Then its not my problem, it's not the staffs' problem. You guys can do as you please.

Okay cool, let's leave it as that. I don't want it to be seen as a place where people go hack/scam anyway. Then again, I'm not affiliated with this IRC at all, so I'm in no place to say anything. Thanks for the reply to my concept anyway.

 

[Syed]

It's only ever referred to as SytheIRC with unofficial in front of it.

The official network is called Chatlair, CLNet for short, and the servers are all x.x.chatlair.net

But, thanks for compromising.

 

[JohnK]

ive always supported excluding banned members from sythe irc. once they are banned they really have no reason to be there anyway, that's what i say to those bitchfucks anyway

fuck them faggots
