#Daria+ has been opened up to all...

Heya...

On Tuesday, the regulars at #Daria+ on DALnet IRC held a vote. We voted whether or not to trash the kick/ban list and give everyone a second chance to use the chat room responsibly and politely. The vote was overwhelmingly in favor of doing this, 11 to 2 with 2 abstentions.

This means that everyone who has been kick/banned from #Daria+ now is allowed back in, provided they behave themselves. If harassing behavior resumes, the person or persons responsible will be immediately kick/banned FOREVER with no hope of reinstatement.

You now have a choice. Be a responsible and harmonious part of our chats and be welcomed back into the group. Or don't. It's up to you.

THERE's a day I'd never thought I'd see.

Where do I find the schedule for these chats? I'd like to participate one of these days.

Typically starting around 6:00pm EST during the weekdays running till whenever we run out of chatters. Sometimes people come in outside of the chat schedule just to hang out on the off chance someone will come in :) For more info, check out MKH's page at http://www.2cowherd.net/catseye/thecommons/

How you feel about lurkers? I've never done IRC, and I'd probably want some time to acclimate myself to the environment first... but I've heard stories about being kick/banned for lurking.

Of course, that was on a newsgroup where someone got kicked for misspelling her nick to fit into the size limit...

Lurking is totally OK in #Daria+!

Cool. Expect me to be there. As soon as I get an IRC client.

... Does BeOS have any IRC clients out yet?

Some extremely high traffic channels do this, but that you don't have to worry about that in #daria+. Hell, the other channel I inhabit, I lurk 24/7 :)

Heh...(in a Quinn sort of voice) "Whatever".

Wait a second. If you lurk, the only traffic you create is receiving what the others say. If you write stuff yourself you even increase the traffic. Where's the logic in banning someone who creates less traffic than someone else? MSB

Hey, I didn't say it made sense, I said it happened... :)

Note that I'm not a believer in kicking lurkers...I lurk myself, dammit :P
