Now I am known (infamous) for being bad at English and honestly I totally fail at getting what AJ write here but in my world that text absolutely confirm what my sloppy two earlier posts hinted at.alienjeff wrote:Wailing away with the Ban Hammer isn't opping on IRC - especially Freenode. Before you start pestering T260G or J_Rey for +o, you should have some idea what +o is. You should also have some idea what the different flag settings are.
The old school silent rule on IRC was to never ask for ChanOp status. Asking for ops was a sure fire way to guarantee you'd never be an op.
If you want to learn more about the Freenode network and how they strongly suggest channels be mananged, read Freenode and IRC; Catalysts; and Channel Guidelines - all under Philosophy.
If you're not into philosophy, forget about being a ChanOp. Non-philosophical channel ops are simply bots, and require no feeding.
As I get AJ, it is already decided on by the people who owns the free node thing. Them want to run it their way. It is very sad that the name Puppy is mention at all on their channels. I think Barry should have control over such things and not people who fail to care.
