Full IRC stuff isn't necessary. Just the ability to /kick /mute or /ban people from a channel would be wonderful.

You mean you want someone else to no doubt?

of course! i can implemetn IRC about as well as a pig on morphine.

it was not irc.. iirc..

If the SY's ask, I'd do it. I rarely play spring (graphics card buggered up and I can't connect the actual spring engine to another player, but the client works fine, so if they did JUST a client that allowed me or others mod options, I'd do it)

I added PT_Paulada as moderator, might add some more soon. There is also Zaphod and other SYs, so should be enough.


Lobby is definitely not going to become irc, nor am I planning to implement irc protocol. It uses its own, a bit specific protocol.

We still need moderators.

*fixed*

Added NOiZE as well.

I was thinking slightly more than one, in the order of ten to twenty.[/quote]

You can't just add moderators all willy nilly. Someone like Gnome might get ops and ban all newbs

I'd mod, but itd be difficult while ingame we dont tend to look at it much. Ideally we should have multiple mods on the main page. Once the ability to create channels arises we should have the creater set to be the mod.

Why not just a votekick style system?
which anyone can start.
Like this:

somuglynub: I'M SPAMMING HAHAHAHAA

Drone: -votekick "somuglunub"

Message pops up saying "kick somuglynub?" Y/N
then if it gets 5 yes votes it bans taht player for 30 minutes, serving them right for being total asshats.

because I can find 5 buddies to keep you perminantly banned until a moderaor stops us by force if I really want to.

You could set it to half the not in game lobby users, that would be better.

Half the people who are not in game and not afk. that is around 5.

Also added Drexion (he is in USA timezone).

And Lightenix (Europe). One more in USA time zone, then it should be enough.

We need more US timezone mods.... It gets really rediculous in that lobby when you all go to sleep

Not to mention I have not seen Drexion logged in in weeks.

Thanks..

i have to agree, there quite a lot of times in the day where the lobby has 100+ players and no moderators at all!!
