Long live forced rejoin!
So I've stated my opinions in channel before, but now the rest of the world can see and laugh at my ideas.
- Random half hour of freedom. "Freedom Hour" sounds better than "Freedom Half Hour," but meh. The time should be long enough so that the channel really does keep people in, but yet short enough so people have a chance to leave if they really can't take it.
- When people get devoiced for flooding, if they voluntarily rejoin the channel in the freedom hour, the -1 access is removed. Otherwise, don't let flooding devoices get removed until either a week, or the access list gets filled (unless someone abuses one of my triggers, then let me talk again :D)
- This would be a bit trickier, but a mode would be nice to server side ignore the part and forced rejoin. While this could be client side scripted, and a decent IRC client shouldn't have a problem with the many rejoins, mIRC is notoriously laggy at times like this (although, I'm glad I'm not on mIRC for netsplits)
- Its a trap channel... so you need a list of randomly changing key words that cause users to get kicked. Once a word gets used three times though, it should be changed, or it makes it to easy to get out
- Voting off the island! I don't know what the vote count should be, but there are those who are just so annoying it is better to vote out than ignore
I may come up with more at some other point
It'S total rubbish.. it annoys people.. and I'd end it. Or let people end their membership.. I don't get how admins could come with something like that :mad:
Honest truth below:
- Human nature is to do stupid things: aknowledgement of the unknown is the first cause of such behaviour.
Therefore everyone who is tricked in joining OR joins because are just super curious NEED to be trapped.
HOWEVER
If they really, really, really want to part the channel for some reason or another they must be given the rights to do so.
I love the channel.
Just hide join/parts cllientside, and you will be fine.
paypal $10 and ill kick you ;D
Lol, I dont think anyone will pay you anything KillaH. Anyway, I like it, although a lot of people are complaining about it in #help, that's quite annoying :[
THIS CHANNEL IS MOE.
P.S. DO is awesome.
Seriously... if you see a channel named #DontJoinItsATrap and then you join it...
You deserve to be trapped for some length of time.
It's hilarious, it's not like you can't get out if you try hard enough.
"/timer 1 1 /leave | //nick $anick"
or replace $anick with any other nick.
ohoho.
It's retarded, imo. The only people that seem to like it are those who like to point at other's and laugh (and possibly even ridicule) when they do something stupid. I guess if you take the bait then you can live with the consequences. Then again, I should be able to a leave a channel I DON'T want to be a part of, regardless of the channel's name.
The channel is annoying as fuck if I'm in it for too long......... otherwise... I feel sexually deprived when I'm not there :( </3
#dontjoinitsatrap is my home
Seriously, what's the problem? It says Dont join, it's a trap! The people who join know that something will happen, so they have to live with the consequences imo. And it's not a punishment to be in there, I like it. And like SecretAgent said, I laugh about the people who get angry because they can't leave, so yeah, I dont see what the problem really is.

I think you misunderstood my post. If you take pleasure in watching other users intentionally be bullied / abused (yes, I'm using that term loosely here), then kudos to you I suppose -- though I think that's rather sad.
You can cry all you want about the channel's name being a clue not to join, but we all know that's exactly why users do join. Add in the multiple global notices, and yes, it's quite clear the sole purpose of the channel was to simply piss off users -- you know, those people who connect to Rizon to have a good time. That's what I, and others see as the problem.
Then again, will this reply change anything? Most likely not, because as you've stated yourself, you take pleasure in watching these pissed off, irritated users -- as no doubt those who created the channel do to.
it's retarded
i avoided all the global notifications and various people joining channels to spam it it but some of my friends had been in it a few days so while they were idling last night i thought i'd see what the fun was
the trouble is the channel has endless "dinging" with some messages in a language i don't read coming up repeatedly so is really annoying and gets in the way of whatever else you're trying to do (i use sound to notify if anyone's active in a quiet channel)
if you can read quick enough to read what anyone's saying past all the coming and going you might see someone say there's a chance to leave every so often. problem is THAT DOESN'T WORK
i didn't have voice so joined in (rizon) mibbit a few times this afternoon trying to converse via my username but apparently having too many mibbits open has earnt me a permanent ban, which i only found when i tried joining in mibbit proper
great fun rizon, i'm sure it was funny the first few hours but jeez grow the fuck up
(On a side note to the person who wanted to speak in the room, any registered nick is automatically voiced in the room, if you flood or spam it automatically devoices you and makes sure on the next join you are devoiced. So don't flood or spam.)
i appreciate that, the staff here do seem friendly and interactive and i've noticed the superbowl notifications etc but personally speaking i'm just here for my friends, i'm aware of a chat room and others but i usually just keep to myself (i joined for the US elections room though)
anyway, i managed to leave the room finally, i don't know if there was a problem but not being able to before when i thought i was meant to be able to was a bit frustrating, maybe i would have had a better experience otherwise (plus the "dinging" i mentioned happened even with the room highlighted, i don't know what it was but it didn't stop)
the thing about registered nicks... i do have a nick registered but i'm not always using that nick (sometimes it's fun to change which we tend to do a lot); the problem is i never got to find out about the auto-voice as you can't change your nick when moderated in a channel (and i was *always* in that channel)
part of me wanted to join again.. hgngnngng :p
If you really don't want to be in the channel, there're quite a few of us OPs there and most of us are more than happy to help you. You don't need to beg or anything, you can just ask normally. Calling names, cussing or making threats isn't the way to get you out, if your common sense didn't tell you already.
am i the first to be klined over the channel? because if i was, thats epic. klining people over messing with a joke channel.. yeah, thats the rizon we know and "love".
You were akilled for spamming the room, harassing an oper in private message, then attempting to join/part flood the room after getting out of it, changing your ident to that of a staff member to avoid a ban.
And to answer your question no you're not the first idiot to come along... err first person to be akilled.
i didnt change my ident when i initially flooded (although i did come back later on my n800).. plus to be a smartass about it, i technically wasnt join/part flooding, the joining part was your server, had your server not forced me to join a channel not on my join list there wouldnt have been a problem, and i only started parting repeatedly because my voice was taken away for saying 'cockburn'.. oh no, cockburn as an answer to a trivia question, what are we going to do! think of the children!
i didnt join your channel in the first place, someone else on my network did, and i didnt want to be there, so parting is reasonable to do, i just decided to do it over and over because you kept forcing me in there. i didnt do anything wrong.. well, except for calling that one guy a jew, and thats not wrong, and saying it is is an insult to jewish people and i'm offended by your anti semitism.
internet is serious business.
It should say how many 'minutes' you're banned for when you try to connect, such as 43200 minutes, aka 30 days. If you want an easy way to convert minutes to days, just put '### minutes to days' into google and it'll convert it for you.
You'll see the message like this when you try to connect.
Take minutes, google, enjoy. If you don't see minutes ot 'temporary', you might have been permabanned, in which case, lol...Quote:
*** Banned Temporary K-line 43200 min. - [fiberOptiC] join/part flooding (tokenote: he means part flooding i guess since i wasnt joining anything.. it was the server doing it, i swear!) - visit http://kline.rizon.net/ if you believe this ban is an error. (2009/2/7 17.26)
Nothing about ban. I just get two modes every time I connect :
So I can't join any channels.Quote:
* Overmind^___^ sets mode: +Dg
Hm, interesting. I'd see if you can private message an admin or staff member about that since it's not really a kline or akill, and im not sure how intentional that is. In fact, Nessun loves dealing with things like this, you should ask him ;)
Outside of trivia channels, this may be the most trivia that's actually been responded to.. ever.
I love this channel, it's made my week (Yeah, it's been a slow week.)
I don't really understand all the people that beg to get banned or let out. People complain about the notices... Turn off notice sounds. Most irc clients have options to mute or lower the sounds of join/part/quits. The only thing I have sound for is highlights. Even then I sometimes mute everything if somebody keeps doing it.
Meh, nothing wrong with a little fun now and then. Some people need to chill out a bit and realize "it's just the internet".
Sorry to hear about stuff that happened to you guys, but don't get too annoyed.
On another note, I think this was just somebody being really bored. The whole thing is rather selfish, making a channel that everyone has to join and can't leave. Somebody's gf break up with them or something? Can't be alone?! FORCE join! W/e though, I've enjoyed it so far.
Roger on the amusement.
I meant... joining this channel doesn't really mess with anything else you do on rizon. Unless you're low bandwidth. One extra channel doesn't really mean anything. akilling a whole bunch of people on the other hand... does.
Those are really two seperate things, I agree with you on "it's just the internet" as a cop-out.
uh.. what? And what about highlighting when message in the Taskbar? Hm? ;) When someone visits one channel(+dontjoin) it's really annoying.Quote:
One extra channel doesn't really mean anything.
Someone said something about we don't like admins with humor sense... Why wouldn't we? I also noticed the superbowl event. I didn't join it, but it looked like a good idea, however. But this.. :confused:
This is all... mildly entertaining.
People who really want to leave can also take advantage of that 1 minute window of freedom every 45-90 mins...
Press alt+r in mirc and add this to your remotes:
Code:on *:TEXT:*YOU HAVE 1 MINUTE TO PART THE CHANNEL, GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN!*:#dontjoinitsatrap:{ if ( $nick == TrapBot ) { /part #dontjoinitsatrap } }
i've seen many a man fall victim to this channel
i show them no pity
this is a stupid thing,
if you guys are bored you should think of making something to keep out bottlers, spammers and shit like that.
this bullshit is complete useless and annoying.
making people get klined because they try to part/quit the channel.
I didn't join this channel, but found it open in xchat when I came home from work yesterday.
It annoys me and I don't have free time to watch for bot announces.
