[16:56:21] Common channels for tomaw [tom@freenode/staff/tomaw]: #bitcoin, #bitcoin-pricetalk, #defocus, +#freenode, #marketmakers
[16:56:21] <tomaw> hi
[16:56:30] <tomaw> so, what's the channel for?
[16:57:27] <suchwow> why did you join if you don't know what it's for lol
[16:57:55] <tomaw> because I am network staff and am wondering wtf you're doing
[16:58:01] <suchwow> oh lol
[16:58:05] <suchwow> understood :)
[16:58:17] <suchwow> this is a trading group where we meet and discuss our trades
[16:58:49] <suchwow> we are dogecoin investors specifically
[16:59:33] <suchwow> if there are any issues, please do let me know
[16:59:35] <tomaw> then can you please take your channel to another network
[16:59:51] <tomaw> we're here to support development and user support
[17:00:15] <suchwow> ah understood, it is a private invite only chan - is there a problem in regards to freenode rules?
[17:00:28] <suchwow> if so i apologiser and will reach out to ops team
[17:00:32] <tomaw> I just told you there are
[17:00:41] <suchwow> you did?
[17:00:50] <tomaw> I asked you to move elsewhere?
[17:01:11] <suchwow> yes, i was trying to understand why exactly, sorry, if there was a specific rule or some such we were in violation of
[17:01:28] <suchwow> we have many chans on freenode which discuss the markets
[17:01:34] <suchwow> for weeks now
[17:01:46] <suchwow> and this is the first i've heard of a problem, so apologies for not understanding
[17:02:26] <suchwow> but we have no desire to run afoul of freenode community
[17:02:58] <suchwow> I'm fine with rounding everyone up, and moving elsewhere, just want to be able to explain to them what is happening and why it is happening
[17:04:29] <suchwow> any assistance/education you could provide would be most appreciated.
[17:06:10] <tomaw> We're a network for development and user support. Radnom *coin related nonsense isn;t something we desire to support
[17:08:31] <suchwow> so, how to explain all the channels like #bitcoin #bitcoin-pricetalk #altcoin-pricetalk #dogecoin-market #bitcoin-panictalk #litecoin-pricetalk
[17:08:47] <suchwow> and many other channels, literally dozens, all here for months, who's only purpose is to discuss market prices and trades?
[17:09:18] <suchwow> As those are all established communities that have been here for some time, I assumed that this type of content was acceptable
[17:09:52] <suchwow> there are channels that exist only to trade coins, talk markets, prices, and as far as I can see this chan is just another one of those
[17:10:54] <suchwow> i'm not desiring to argue, but really understand, in contet to all the existing chans that were here before dogecoin was even invented, and are still here now
[17:11:01] <suchwow> *context
[17:13:12] <suchwow> Again, I'm fine with helping to coordinate the move, but if I explain to the users that the reason is "Radnom *coin related nonsense isn;t something we desire to support" when it is obviously every new coin comes to freenode and sets up their network of channels
[17:13:20] <suchwow> the question will come up why are we different from them
[17:14:22] <suchwow> coinyecoin, mooncoin, catcoin, kittehcoin - all these channels and more exist and have for sometime, along with subtopics
[17:18:25] <suchwow> and again, this is a private, invite only chan. The content in this chan was in #dogeconi-market for the last 7 or 8 days (with 600+ users) but the spam and noise was too much
[17:18:33] <suchwow> so we created a private subtopic group
[17:19:03] <suchwow> anyhow I'm just waking up, will be around, any clarification will be appreciated! :D
[17:35:52] <suchwow> also, fwiw, 4chan has been paying heavy attention to our chan, spam, and possibly behind any complaints you have received, etc.

[18:10:23] <suchwow> Good sir, if you have no desire to communicate, and are not invited to our channel, based on feedback received in #freenode I am going to respectfully remove you from the channel. I mean no disrespect in doing so. Again, if there are policies that we need to be aware of in regards to privacy or acceptable use, please let me know. But at this point you've not answered any of my questions or concern
[18:10:46] <suchwow> I've tried to communicate with other active staff and they also do not reply to my questions or concerns
[18:11:00] <suchwow> If it is your right to be in our chan, then I apologize.
[18:13:46] <suchwow> ah, i see i cannot do that due to the mode or whatever has been set
[18:13:56] <suchwow> May I then just ask, why are you in our channel?
