IRC Moderation

[Roser]

Give players who have a history of non trolling and are helpful to players mod powers in IRC. IRC has become a raging troll pit that is constantly spiraling out of control.

Allow player mods to time people out for up to 1 hour at a time, and leave the heavier bans to GM's.

Edit: Posting a replay I made below

Being part of the twitch community and seeing first hand how exactly chats are moderated, it is easy to see that these modes of moderation can be applied to the Secondage chat as well.

A channel operator will find a handful of trusted individuals to weed out the garbage and enforce the rules of that particular channel. If a moderator is doing a poor job they will be dismissed from their duties, this then makes the job of rule enforcement for the channel operator very easy; instead of moderating hundreds of people they then only need to moderate the small amount of moderators they have chosen.

I realize that many of you are entertained by some of the crazy trash talk that goes on, but I don't believe it is good for our community to sacrifice a common chat space for such a vile form of entertainment. It's definitely not helping the shard grow.

The GM's do a fine job of moderating when they are there, but the fact is they aren't aware of what's going on 24/7. With a solid group of moderators the rules of the Secondage chat can be enforced pretty close to 100% of the time.

In regards to my personal language used, yeah this Rose does have some thorns once in a while, and no I'm not nominating myself.

98% of the rage is Apoc
1% of the rage is a tie between me pointing out that players died on UOSA in the UOSA chat, and them raging about that death on UOSA in the UOSA chat
1% is Soma spamming

horrible idea, horrible timing

If Rose is nominating himself, I have mIRC logs that prove Rose is an IRC troll.

I will refrain from posting here due to the inflammatory nature of such logs.

This is probably the worst idea in the forum.

Rose are you trying to say that the mods aren't doing their job? That's not nice
