last week I had to face the fact that IRC Cop on Undernet are not all
following the basic rules of IRC ethics.
After many discussions and votes with people in #sexe, I got the OP
again, and things
where running fine these last days.
This morning, I realized that there were again _no_ OP on #sexe and
requested some
IRC Cop help on #wasteland.
_crAsh_ came in the channel, silently, stayed a couple of minutes. The
channel was
quiet like the desert. There were like 5 users there, me, my bot
(amandab), users
who forgotten to disconnect and a SEXE-Bot !!!!!
_crAsh_ opped this bloody bot. The bot kicked+banned me and my bot. Nice
take
over my dear Cop.... are you happy? who do you work for? Anarchists
?????
Who damn is this SEXE-Bot... dunno, never seen it in this channel. Some
information
about it said:
----
Nick: SEXE-Bot
Name: SEXE-Bot by HYPERCOM (http://www.HYPERzone.com)
Machine: hype...@twinkle.Generation.NET
Server: austin.tx.us.undernet.org [128.83.199.50] University Of Texas,
Austin's Unde
Away: (nope)
Idle: (unavailable)
Chans: @#sexe
----
I'm not going to use the academic way to have my rights respected a long
time...
I have requested the "W" gardian for #sexe channel 5 or 6 weeks ago... I
know people have
been waiting more than 2 months. So #sexe is a _public_ channel and _OP_
should be given
after a vote. Why didn't _crAsh_ ask for a vote? why did this fuc**ng
boot kicked me???
What do Cops look for?????? real fight???? real problems????? I know a
lot of people
are complaining like me.
What is the _USE_ of Undernet, with TimeStamp and #cservice, if power
and judgement
are still in Cop's hands?
In real life, this is called CORRUPTION! Unfortunalely there are no Cops
for Cops,
like FBI in USA.
So what happens when law is not respected by the people who did it?
terrorism, revolution... is this what we look for?
Please, respect the rules, respect the ethics, because that's the only
way IRC will still work!
and remember that people are working to make the ethics respected over
the network.
They are called IRC COP, OP, and users.
They are not called SEXE-Bot from space!!!!
When you _OP_ someone who should not be, you just let confusion and hate
spread over
the network. I'm furious and waiting for some explainations!
Regards.
xtof.
What an "IRC Cop"? Ive never heard of the term before.
>on Undernet are not all following the basic rules of IRC ethics.
Which RFC was this again?
>After many discussions and votes with people in #sexe, I got the OP
Oh, the OP. That Magical OP. "With the OP all things are possible".
>again, and things where running fine these last days.
>This morning, I realized that there were again _no_ OP on #sexe and

So you openly advertised the fact that you wished to recieve help,
and you did this on #wasteland? Oh you mad impetuous _fool_ you!

And the lack of channel operatorship was inhibiting your ability to chat
with yourself, two bots and two idle users? If the channel was totaly
opless, why didnt you just ride a split instead of wasting an operator's
time?
>_crAsh_ opped this bloody bot. The bot kicked+banned me and my bot. Nice
>take over my dear Cop.... are you happy? who do you work for? Anarchists

So lets see if i got this straight. You, one of about a hundred people
(no, make that a thousand) came onto #wasteland and requested, no DEMANDED
immediate and unabated attention from a "IRC COP!!!!!!!!!" because the
need for you to be opped on a channel with noone besides yourself on it
was so pressing, and so urgent, and so obviously crucial to the moral
stability of the net, that you just couldnt wait.
>Who damn is this SEXE-Bot... dunno, never seen it in this channel. Some

A likely story. Like we havent heard that before:
<idiot-luser> I need to be helped on #pathetic-channel!!!!
<idiot-luser> I need to be helped on #pathetic-channel!!!!
<idiot-luser> I need to be helped on #pathetic-channel!!!!
<operator> idiot-luser: whats the problem, and stop flooding.
<idiot-luser> I need U to op me on #pathetic-channel!!!!, there's no ops.
<operator> THere's only five people on that channel. have them leave and
+rejoin
<idiot-luser> I CANT!!!!!!! Theyre all idle! Op me PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!
[time passes, operator ignores idiot-luser]
<idiot-luser> I need to be helped on #pathetic-channel!!!!
<idiot-luser> I need to be helped on #pathetic-channel!!!!
<idiot-luser> I need to be helped on #pathetic-channel!!!!
<operator> If i help you, will you go away?
[... operator joins #pathetic-channel!!!! ...]
[... Lets see, there's pathetic-channel-bot, ill op it ...]
[... pathetic-channel bot kick/banns idiot-luser who is a flooder
and frequently takes over the channel and harrasses regulars ...]

Where did this "rule" come from? Ive never heard of anything so
preposterous in my life. No votes are required. THe operator ops who
they want once you ask for help. Thats the way it is.
>Why didn't _crAsh_ ask for a vote? why did this fuc**ng boot kicked me???
Probably because the regular who runs that bot doesnt like you.
>What do Cops look for?????? real fight???? real problems????? I know a
>lot of people are complaining like me.
That doesnt mean theyre not sniveling idiots too.
>What is the _USE_ of Undernet, with TimeStamp and #cservice, if power
>and judgement are still in Cop's hands?
You admitted you went to #wl and asked for help. What is your point?
You explicitly ASKED for operator intervention. There would have been
no "judgement" or "action" taken if you hadnt asked for it!
>In real life, this is called CORRUPTION! Unfortunalely there are no Cops
>for Cops, like FBI in USA.
No, in real life this is called "You are a pathetic doofus". And there
arent any "Cops" on the undernet. If you dont like it, go the hell away.
And good riddens to you.
>So what happens when law is not respected by the people who did it?
>terrorism, revolution... is this what we look for?
If you try terrorism or revolution, youll find that theyll throw you out.
There is no use trying to overthrow irc, because you dont own the hardware,
and without the hardware, you have no service. Nice try though.
>Please, respect the rules, respect the ethics, because that's the only
>way IRC will still work!
You mean "When i tell you to op Me, i darn well mean for you to op ME, and
not anyone else, becuase of course, you have to assume im a regular and know
whats best for the channel, just because i say so."
>and remember that people are working to make the ethics respected over
>the network.
>They are called IRC COP, OP, and users.
Who is called IRC COP? Noone that i am aware of.
And you mean "lusers". Hope that helps.
>When you _OP_ someone who should not be, you just let confusion and hate
>spread over the network. I'm furious and waiting for some explainations!
Thats why you werent opped. You werent supposed to be.
And i was there and i saw this. And the only explnanation thats
neccesary is that youre a sorry wanker and you got exactly what you
asked for, so stop sniveling about it.

Hi Christophe,
you raise alot of matters in your mail, and I'll try to comment on them as
best as I can.
I dont know the Irc Op who did this, and I hope I'm unbiased enough.

No - I dont think he works for anarchists - have you asked this oper in
particular
why he/she did it this way ?
Are you sure the Irc Op in question did a takeover on the channel ? I dont
think so.
I'm not going to try to defend him/her, but remember - we are doing this
out of sheer interest in
irc and yes - in the users here.

If you have complaints about a bot, grab this information, do an /admin
austin.tx.us.undernet.org
and mail the complaint to the admin of the server.

Perhaps the Oper didnt know the guidelines for this - or simply just didnt
care.
You have included nothing except the oper's nick, which makes it difficult
to check
the opers story.

As long as Irc is a service provided to YOU and your friends by volunteers,
the judgement
will always be in the hands of the provider of the service, but sure - the
guidelines are to
be followed.

I hope things will be settled for your channel.

*SIGH* Firstly, if you intend to flame us, PLEASE get the title
correct, its IRCOP NOT IRC cop (do us all a favor and read this very
slowly and carefully so no one has to repete to you again.
Second, _crash_ is NOT an IRCop, he is a @wasteland helper. You
spammed my box with this crap a week ago, demanding to know why I had
never answered your "1st" letter to me. I never GOT a 1st letter from
you about this issue, only your petulant demand that I answer your
claims.
So here's your answer: THIS IS NOT A MAJOR ISSUE ON UNDERNET. If you
would register your channel and learn how to manage it better you
wouldn't need to run to us IRCops at all. I have told you this on IRC
and since you apparently didn't bother to listen then I am telling you
again here. MANAGER YOUR CHANNEL LIKE ADULTS.
Sorry for the yelling, but sometimes, people don't listen unless you
do.

Perhaps if they made PUBLIC the true list of all irc ops in an easy
format along with wasteland helpers(ie those who kiss butts enough).
Then misunderstandings would not happen.
But the undernet is a dictorship, not a democracry. The irc
cops(correct term) are the SS and the wasteland helpers are the young ss
wannabes(or secret police spies). Of course, to get help, just say you
are gay. Help comes.

Yes, RevWhite, you should, indeed, admit that you're gay.
Don't you think it's time to come out of the closet? Your
latency is painfully obvious when you feel compelled to
mention homosexuality in every single posting. How sad that
you are unable to fulfill your potential.
And by the way, the term IRC cop is STILL
wrong, it doesn't matter how many times you say it
or with how much conviction, the term is wrong and you
merely show your ignorance of IRC by claiming that IRC cop
is correct:\ It's IRCop, dummy, read slowly and you will
notice that there is only ONE c in there :\
And to further your woefully inadequate education, to find an
IRCop type /who 0 o, if you can manage to type while jacking off.
And Rev, one more note, and I will keep it short, as I know
how difficult it is to concentrate around all the voices
in your head, your attempt to fill my mailbox by spamming
my address all over IRC has failed miserably *ROFL*

Gee? You've noticed that too? You either have to be a "person of alternative
sexual orientation" (snicker) or into pedophilia or some other disgusting
perversion, OR you have to netsex irc COPS OR you have to be a member of
one of the organized flooding/takeover groups which has managed to strike
fear into #wasteland...
Anything else and you are ignored, ridiculed, reviled. G-lined.

C'mon there Judi sweets....! Aint talking like that to a "luser"
a bit below the standards of your greatness - as indicated and
bestowed by the annointing of your holy O-line?
This response is typical of what Undernet users get nowdays
unless they are kissing major ass with #wasteland or a member of
#cha0s or #hitmen. (or any other group that has managed to strike
FEAR into the hearts of the opers.)
