How about being above the fray and simply ignoring trolls.  If you work outside the guidance and protection of the institution, do not expect it to be tolerated.

I've got no problem with you setting this up.

We discussed this before hence why Chat was created. So go ahead do as you please, but I really doubt anyone will use it. I would however advise you direct people here to write their solution and shar

I remember that in the IRC channels I'd go to, there would be a command that would send a chat window with a help / FAQ for ppl to get simple questions as this Guest was asking. Therefore avoiding the aggravating nonsense you found yourself in. Announcement of the command was at the header that is shown at join of a channel.

I had scripts that run on my mIRC that took care of all that, but it's been well over 15 years ago. I have no clue of any of it anymore. It was done with a "robot user", just to attend to the commands. And was with channel defence scripts for attacks... , long time ago. 

I'm typing a story, just as grandpa would tell a story from his days of youth. I hope this helps.

Do what you feel you need to do, but hope I made clear that I don't agree and this isn't  allowed in these forums. ;)

I take it ambivalence is not going to satisfy your requirement?  You cant just exist alongside, and in support of?  What is the barrier to just renaming to your desired #AutoIt and existing "in lieu of an official XXXX"  like every other subforum on any other medium ever created, ever.  If anyone starts to care, they know where to find you.

I think that was explained earlier.  The People at FreeNode do not like to just let people run amok with whatever they like.  They like to keep things clean.  If they do not see an official approval, they won't let TheDcoder treat it like an official channel.  Just renaming the channel will not be allowed.  There is already a #AutoIt channel registered.  It cannot be taken over unless the one trying to take it over is officially recognized.  That is the whole reason for this thread; to have a place that can be seen publicly by the FreeNode admins where a post from Jon (if he chooses to do so) grants TheDcoder permission to run an official channel.

I personally do not understand what people have against the way TheDcoder is handling this.  TheDcoder does not want to claim official use of the AutoIt name without actually having permission to do so.  He is showing respect and courtesy to the AutoIt owner, developers, and community in general.  To that end, he has made a request that Jon approve his ownership/administration of an official AutoIt channel.  If Jon says no, there will be some disappointed people, but Jon's wishes will be followed.  If Jon says yes, then TheDcoder will administer the forum in accordance with what ever policies Jon requires.

No one is wanting to take anything from Jon, from the forum, or from the community.  In my opinion, we should now allow Jon to handle this as he sees fit.

I'm not against it, just again pointing out that it may not be necessary.  Sincerely: What is the difference between the Facebook AutoIt Page, the LinkedIn AutoIt Group, and the IRC AutoIt Channel?

The rules seem pretty simple, run your area the same way as the forum.  If you dont need to be looked at, aint nobody lookin.

*If this is an exercise simply for the Freenode admins, then i apologize for that process existing.

Not the Channel, the effort to get it blessed.  Context.

I have talked with freenode's staff and they require the creator of AutoIt (@Jon) to send them an email telling them that its OK for them to let me operate the official channel. I will send a PM to Jon with more details on who he needs email and some confidential stuff...

 

Thanks you guys for helping me bring back the IRC AutoIt Community! Love you all! :D
