New Horizons for SGW irc chat

I would first like to say that we(the KingdomChat network staff) would like to thank Whitey for setting up and taking his time in the last few years to run chat for the stargatewars games. We in no way mean any harm in taking over control from whitey who has given up his free time in the last few years .
I give u the props u deserve for the effort my old friend, but the time has come to step down and let chat prosper, and let bygones be bygones.

Now with that being said......

For those of u that dont know me, I am homer(homer1475 ingame) i have been a member of whiteys oper staff almost since the inception of chat, I have been a member of this community since somewhere around February 05, i have been a forum mod for a few years as well. I have recently taken control of irc chat for stargatewars games.
We have a new network staff(come to chat and type /ircops , to view the staff and their availability), a new network name(KingdomChat Network), and a whole new attitude on the way things are run. We like to keep thing in our official channels neutral ground. So if u want to come and cause mischief and start fights with other alliance people in chat ... dont bother

I urge everyone to come and experience the community as u never have before. I simply ask u obey and follow the few simple rules we have(rules link can be found here - viewtopic.php?f=40&t=101339 )
You can join chat by either clicking the "chat" link in the upper left hand corner of the game, or by joining on irc(irc tutorial posted here - viewtopic.php?f=40&t=101445 ).

So in short, feel free to drop by and have fun, simply come to chat, idle or post a trade in our #tradeserver channel where u can do trades instantly instead of waiting for responses on the forums. :lol:

Yay Homer! :)
Long live the IRC-mods. I get cold shivers whenever I think about the amount of modding you have to do.

Well worth a visit! :)

Yeah we have to mod (or "op", as the chat equivalent term to "mod/moderator" is an "op/operator") on the spot, keeping a sharper eye out for transgressions as the chat scrolls by. We also deal with swearing and spamming and the usual assortment of idiocy, but like Severian said there tends to be a lot less of the political tension and fighting that the forums tend to be full of. So in a way, forum mods have it harder than us chat ops. :P

Re: New Horizons for SGW irc chat

Heavy moderation of IRC is precisely why I generally avoid it, except for the occasional admin chats.

Good luck with your initiative.

we are far less harsh than things used to be under whitey robinindahood.
some rules rewriteen to work right some removed. I prefer a lax set of rules where everone can have fun. we mod a lot less than the forums do, so dont judge till u have come to see it.

as i stated in my first post this is a totally new chat.

Re: New Horizons for SGW irc chat

Thank You Most of you to the posts you have made.

Homer has been working hard with Cait and Zathras to keep chat alive. This new IRC i hope will show us all that things can change but not change so much we lose people.

Most people banned have been given a second chance thanks to homer and his team.

I hope to see You all On IRC.

and for the record as far as heavy moderation its only because some people break the rules more then others...Other then that people like IRC and seem to be able to talk about what ever they want with out much moding.

If you feel there is to much moderation in one room u can join / make another room and discuss what ever you wish...

Thanks

Re: New Horizons for SGW irc chat

I recall a couple of months ago I was sitting in IRC having a great conversation with a buddy and we were talking about our hobbies. I mentioned that I like to do gardening and he said something like "Do you wear a pink outfit while you work?" I laughed and responded with "You don't have to be a homo or a girl to enjoy gardening." He replied that he was heavy into watching professional wrestling and my comment was that watching sweaty men grapple in a ring together seemed a lot more gay than gardening.

Boom! Kicked from the channel by an IRC mod and warned when I came back that my language was inappropriate.

:shock:

Maybe it will be better now.

That is why you were most likely kicked and warned.
