Forum:Unblocking PGB from IRC channel

As some of you may know yesterday I unblocked PGB from the #wikia-cod IRC channel as a trial to see if it was possible for him to behave himself. As far as I know, he did and took part in some casual discussions. However, later on in the day Joeyaa swooped down and blocked him again with the reason "he should not be taking part in wiki discussions if he is blocked on the wiki". While that is a good point, surely if he can behave himself he can join the channel when we're not discussing wiki matters?

Your opinions please. 16:16, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

If hes not editing the Wiki, then theres no point for him to be on IRC. Slowrider7 16:22, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

If he wants to talk about matters unrelated to the wiki, then he should not be using our wiki's discussion channel to begin with. 16:23, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

"IRC is not a part of the wiki" I agree with Joeyaa. The channel is a branch of this wiki in which he is perma-banned on. We're not stopping him talking to users from here, just not on that specific channel. Doc.  Richtofen  18:25, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * We only have one channel, right? 16:30, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think that if PGB is blocked on the wiki, he should be blocked from the wiki's IRC channel too. 16:32, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think that PGB should be unblocked on IRC, I mean, he's no longer able to really take part in our community anymore, he's permablocked. So I see no real reason why he should be allowed to discuss in our wiki's discussion channel if he's not allowed to edit altogethor on the wiki itself. 16:53, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * He should really be unblocked because IRC is not a part of the wiki and PGB should not be blocked on that either. It's taking things too far. 17:48, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * We have only one official IRC Channel and some other private channels related to the wiki. I personally have never liked PGB because of what he has done and his abrasive comments. I think that if we let PGB "get his foot in the door", if you will, that will give him a place to influence the wiki. I can see him eventually influencing and rallying others to support him self in getting unblocked on the wiki. On another note he has come into my IRC channel, when I told him he was not welcome there, he started to get argumentive with me. I eventually kick/banned him. Then he accused me of "power abuse". A mature user would have said ok and left the channel. Just goes to show he hasnt changed. 20PX_SIG.gif  Talk 18:10, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

He can still talk to us editor types in private chat or create a channel of his own. Darthkenobi0 ^ (talk) 21:52, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with Doc and Darth, he can still talk to the users, just not on Wiki "property." 21:53, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

Wut diff does it make if he can just come to IRC. It isn't like he can edit this place, IRC is just a place to chat, not like he will be coming back, dat bitch.

I agree with Darth. But PGB was blocked on the wiki for a year by Griever. He cans still chat on IRC though. 11:56, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

PGB again? He was declared a problematic user and intentionally stirred up a lot of people. He was the topic of several War Room topics and it was overwhelmingly declared that he should be blocked from the wiki. If that includes IRC, so be it. I don't mean to implicate you, Callofduty4, but it seems that you're constantly speaking up for PGB, and it's undermining the authority of other admins who have decided on the issue long ago. Leave PGB alone; it's a closed case and we shouldn't be "diverting our attention" from more important wiki issues. --Scottie theNerd 20:52, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to have to agree with Scottie, Peter Griffen Boy has been declared a problematic user time and time again and till finally he had been permablocked. I see more important wiki issues than PGB at the moment. 23:37, July 11, 2010 (UTC)~
