I am posting here as I have no idea where it should go. Mods can move if need be.
This morning, as soon as I logged onto #ubuntu IRC, a user made some obscene comments. I made a comment letting the user know that his comment was unnecessary and offtopic. Minutes later, gnomefreak made a comment saying that myself and the offending user should take our conversation somewhere else. I politely laughed it off. Next thing you know I was banned.
I didn't do anything, I didn't offend anyone. I wasn't spamming the channel. All that I can think of that was not appropiate on my behalf was that the fact that I said gnomefreak was funny (sarcastically). Does that qualify me for a ban?
Another thing is where are the IRC channels rules listed? Are they on any web site? Who are the moderators? Why isn't there a sub-forum for IRC disputes? Why was I banned w/o any prior warning? I'm sure admins can pull log files of the conversation, and they'll see that no one was warned, just immediate bans. If no one can pull log files, I will retrieve them ASAP.
This is very frustrating, seeing how this is one of the primary avenues of support for the ubuntu OS?
I also read around the forums as other users had previously been banned for other minor reasons. They mention something about a community council.
