Here's the conversation I had with IRC Op, Kryt.
Excus the <Frosty`>. btw I'm Syn_.
Frosty> <Kryt> well I can see this if that's what you mean, whats up?
<Frosty> <Syn_> Alright then
<Frosty> <Syn_> Do get uber mad
<Frosty> <Syn_> Or g-line me on the spot but...
<Frosty> <Syn_> I was in #RoT
<Frosty> <Syn_> And everyone in that channel was just g-lined
<Frosty> <Syn_> Now here the thing:
<Frosty> <Syn_> Some people in that channel were g-lined for no reason
<Frosty> <Syn_> I'll admit, maybe some of them did deserve to get g-lined
<Frosty> <Syn_> but a few of them didn't
<Frosty> <Syn_> E.g me
<Frosty> <Syn_> I got a random g-line
<Frosty> <Syn_> for just being in the channel
<Frosty> <Syn_> Now, i
<Frosty> <Syn_> *Now, from what I know
<Frosty> <Syn_> That's unfair
<Frosty> <Kryt> Collateral damage in some part, the channel itself and occupants have been hit for *extremely* good reason, i.e. for the good of the network and it's users; in a majority of cases all people in there would be involved with the original idea of the channel hence, I believe, why it would have been hit in the first place like that
<Frosty> <Kryt> the initial user gline is not long at all
<Frosty> <Syn_> Yes, but some people got g-lined for no reason
<Frosty> <Syn_> Originally, some one reported us (apparently
<Frosty> <Syn_> )
<Frosty> <Kryt> I doubt that would have made a difference, we were aware of the presence in the first place
<Frosty> <Kryt> IRC networks speak to eachother more than most people think :)
<Frosty> <Syn_> I heard
<Frosty> <Syn_> But still
<Frosty> <Kryt> but regardless, if we hit 3 or 4 innocent people in teh wrong channel for a couple of hours for the good of the network then it's something we'll do without thinking
<Frosty> <Kryt> it's done for very good reason so Im afraid there's absolutely nothing mroe we can say on it
<Frosty> <Syn_> How long are the g-lines?
<Frosty> <Syn_> Isn't that a bit... lazy?
<Frosty> <Kryt> as said the user gline isnt long, we dont give out exact times but we're not talking months :)
<Frosty> <Syn_> I'm sorry if I'm offending, but you should evaluate people individually
<Frosty> <Kryt> that is not always possible
<Frosty> <Syn_> It sort of is...
<Frosty> <Syn_> You could join the chan and ask
<Frosty> <Kryt> lol
<Frosty> <Kryt> sorry, that's a bit naive ;)
<Frosty> <Syn_> I can see where you coming from, but err... #RoT wasn't a drug den :P
<Frosty> <Syn_> In fact, it was a clan channel for a game
<Frosty> <Kryt> far from it, but reasonably similar principle
<Frosty> <Kryt> there's nothing more I can say on it as I'm in no way involved
<Frosty> <Kryt> those that are, are likely to do what you asked me not to do first ;)
<Frosty> <Syn_> My final question: Who actually gave out the g-lines?
<Frosty> <Kryt> again information I can't provide
<Frosty> <Kryt> I know it was not a lone decision
<Frosty> <Syn_> Alright then
<Frosty> <Syn_> Could I be unbanned from #help?
<Frosty> <Syn_> * #help ?
<Frosty> <Syn_> Because I'd like to speak with a few more Ops
<Frosty> <Kryt> 1. no because it's nothing to do with us/Quakenet and 2. I'd warn against that as the people involved *will* very likely be far less attentive :)
<Frosty> <Kryt> (the ban is because your IP address is on several DNS blacklists)
<Frosty> <Syn_> Alright
<Frosty> <Syn_> I guess I'll have to sit and wait
<Frosty> <Syn_> and Ddos quakenet
<Frosty> <Syn_> har har har
<Frosty> <Syn_> only joking
<Frosty> <Syn_> I don't even know how to Ddos :P
<Frosty> <Syn_> I'll see ya later then
<Frosty> <Syn_> You've been a great help :)
<Frosty> <Kryt> bb, sorry I can't be of more help.
<Frosty> <Syn_> ninja'd :P
<Frosty> <Syn_> cya later Kryt
<Frosty> <Syn_> Have a nice day :)
<Frosty> <Kryt> and you
<Frosty> <Syn_> oh wait
<Frosty> <Syn_> This is my second g-line
<Frosty> <Syn_> Does that mean it's longer?
<Frosty> <Kryt> no
<Frosty> <Syn_> ok
<Frosty> <Syn_> The first one was kind of an accident that was done out of ignorance btw :)
<Grandy> Just wanted to say I hate you all
<StackOverflow> rambo famous is like being nicki minaj famous
<StackOverflow> you haven't really accomplished anything and everybody laughs at you
