Fork #definecynical IRC chat room into two rooms
Moderator:Æron
Should we split DC into two chat rooms. It seems some want to have a more controlled chat environment while others just want to do what they want. What this would mean is that the current #definecynical would become more controlled. Specifically against childish behavior and flooding. But a second room that would be eventually un-regualted would be created....a lot more lenient than the current #dc. If you did do something after a warning, like a flooding in #definecynical then a ban would be a lot more likely, most likely for the entire evening. But of course you would still be able to go into the other room. I am not trying to restrict subject matter at all, just behavior.
So what do you guys think? Have a more controlled #definecynical but give an outlet for those who wish to be how they want to be, and give them more freedom there? Or just keep it going how it is now?

You mean like it was before certain people decided to lord it over everyone? Yes, split the room so those certain people can run their little fiefdom to their heart's content.give an outlet for those who wish to be how they want to be, and give them more freedom there?

Well, I think it depends on what "behavior" is considered "childish". If it's just things like spamming and allcaps speech and other such things generally considered to be disruptive, then I'm fine with having two channels.
Either way, I'm not going to lose any sleep over the matter. What happens, happens.

I guess I should better define it, but it would be flooding, both of smilies and nonsense, and text you paste, and ascii art. It could also be considered rapid nickname changes, or trying to pose as someone else....over user or constant use of colours. In general i would say it is anything taken to the extreme I think could be considered inappropriate.

Well honestly if it MUST be said that all that stuff will be considered a bannable offence, then my vote is have #definecynical be the "Crazy" room; it will go on as it always has for the past three years, and other cynics can go to another room.
Honestly if #definecynical becomes the seriously moderated room it would just be forcing change on something that has been working. Sure things have gotten tense but why change a room when you can just make another and leave the original intact.

This is another option, and I would be willing to hear if any others are interested in a fork with the rolls of the rooms reversed.Well honestly if it MUST be said that all that stuff will be considered a bannable offence, then my vote is have #definecynical be the "Crazy" room; it will go on as it always has for the past three years, and other cynics can go to another room.

Throughout all idleness, I've yet to see any of these be done to an irritating extent except from Yagyu and other bots.I guess I should better define it, but it would be flooding, both of smilies and nonsense, and text you paste, and ascii art.

I anyone has a problem with room ops, just stop giving ops to anyone other than the usual Spray, Arloest, _5hfifty.

I like the idea of having the original #DC stay how it is, and having a side room for civil discussion. I honestly don't find that there's any problem on the channel most of the time. The stuff that does happen doesn't bother me, the whole lawlessness of DC is what I love about it, because people rarely do anything bad anyway. This site's moderation is lax too, and apart from the rare argument or the like, everything is fine.
I wouldn't mind a seperate room to continue conversations, but it wouldn't be #DC if tai wasn't constantly getting booted, and people weren't posing as other people all the time etc.
