Let's not do this again.

Or not without setting things up so the IRC channel can better deal with an influx of people with no understanding of the standard etiquette. Maybe a name generator and an explanation that if you can't think of a nick, something scatological is a bad idea. Or on the page something about how forum rules still apply. (So things like joining multiple times/arguing with yourself is a bad idea. Ditto multiple lines of copypasta. And spam in general.) Or at least a bunch of extra ops.

Comms network which was more or less designed to be a distributed, chaotic, anarchistic free for all descends into chaotic anarchy.  Film at 11!

Whoops, sorry.

I didn't think it would be worse than the April incident.

Next time I think we'll have the channel and network displayed, but not a link to webchat.

My multi-line copypasta was a mistake... I wasn't thinking... I should have sent it in a private message. I was only trying to help someone, and got kicked for it.

As for standard etiquette, no matter what you post in a banner or logon screen, it requires people to read it - and so it seems, most don't... or just don't care.
