Nice =) maybe a channel (# not &) for all servers help with a bot that bans the idling and lamers that want to suck up the opers would be a nice idea

Anyways, there are some channel mentioned BUT we don't know if Server admins/staff will established another channel.

As i said before it would been a nice adition. Like servers are forced to use the dns city.country.continent.undernet.org maybe a channel like #city.undernet.org for each server would make getting help with server related problems more easy...

Maybe we will just get used to it as of now.

I don´t think so, bad idea

What if the Server Administrators don't want to use such a feature? Why should they be forced, when they already provide users with an email address to which sent mails are guaranteed to be read by appropriate people? Furthermore, local channels (&) are available only by people on that specific server. Imagine the chaos it would provoke if our beloved wannabe "helpers" (or suckups, as Carlos described them) would clone themselves as much as possible so they can be on more such help channels at the same time.

Not to mention the amount of help channels on Undernet.

I don't think so.

Well for a start server admins wouldnt be forced to use such a feature, only if they like to, it would make it much easier for the users. The cloning problem (if undernet realy has so many lamers!) can be solved by making #channels instead of &channels and remember that @s can handle well the suckups or wannabies

It was just an idea..

^5 cArLiLLoS. Was gonna say the same thing

This is so childish and stupid. A lot of undernet servers had/have local channels but only for a means of the opers to communicate easier amongst themselves, meaning they are private. And should remain that way until Undernet would eventually stop existing.

DUNCAN_ Have you bothered to read the topic from the start?

Firstly, Opers when they want to talk mostly use /wallops or maybe some servers have secret channels (I dont think you are me know this by the way) Secondly, We stopped talking about local channels (&) and started talking about network channels (#). When you said childing and stupid you where reffering to... ? Private and Secret (+s,+p) channels are private and secret, we/I have never implimented or suggested that private/secret channels should stop.

Regards

abyss , 1st of all: wallops are still public , so whoever wants could see them.
2nd of all: i was talking about local channels.
3rd: i'm still working on the porcupines.

actualy wallops are not public, in UnderNet (or atleast at the most servers) +w mode is disabled.

Than you must have been living in a different dimension by now. Have you +w-ed yourself lately? And just because you can't filter any wallops doesn't mean you can't see them. Opers just don't wallop that much anymore. Just saw a couple of wallops this morning.

Yeap i know what you mean. Some servers have the wallops mode enabled but most of them dont. But dont get offtopic, lets stick with the idea of a #country.undernet.org Well the suckups can easily gets kicked/ban by the ops and it could be userful about server matters, i'm just afraid because maybe some people that couldnt find help in zt nastrand or operhelp join theese channels for a reop (which ofcourse its not their aim)

errrrm.. I wonder what's the prob with those channel in every server which is made just for SERVER PROBLEMS.
