chat with freenode admin

<spb> i heard you've been pushing for a decision from staff regarding #fatpeoplehate
<spb> let me know when you're around so we can discuss it
<HomerSimpsonXron> I am here.
<spb> ok
<HomerSimpsonXron> Tomaw said they would gather logs for a week and since it has been a week I would like to know the choice you guys have made.
<HomerSimpsonXron> Since I doubt we have violated any of your rules for the matter.
<HomerSimpsonXron> in this week.
<spb> well, the conclusion we reached is that the channel as it is now really doesn't fit with freenode's aims
<HomerSimpsonXron> Oh? Can you specify why?
<spb> i think the name pretty much describes it
<HomerSimpsonXron> 1 sec
<spb> and regardless of any rules-lawyering over the letter of our guidelines and policies, it's pretty clearly against the spirit of them
<HomerSimpsonXron> It isn't though. It violates no laws of UK law. And it isn't agains "political, racial, ethnic, religious or gender-related invective"
<HomerSimpsonXron> in your own policy use
<spb> read my last line again
<HomerSimpsonXron> I did my bad.
<spb> the network is here to support communities formed around peer directed projects, and this clearly isn't one of those
<spb> i don't see any content being created by it
<HomerSimpsonXron> hmm you make a point.
<HomerSimpsonXron> However I don't think that deserves an outright ban of the channel.
<spb> and on that basis, i think it would be best if you moved to another network
<HomerSimpsonXron> As you wish. However may we have a few days to transfer users then?
<spb> the timeline i'd suggest is that you decide where you're moving to in the next couple of days, and then we can set the channel +m and leave a pointer in the topic for a week or two to let any less frequent visitors know where it's gone
<HomerSimpsonXron> gotcha thanks.
