Forum:IRC /=/ Chat /=/ Wiki

It’s been said that for a while now, IRC is an entirely sovereign state from the Wiki and Chat, i.e. bans don’t carry over from the Wiki/Chat to IRC. However, this has not been official. The fact is that most users treat it that it is official, regardless of it not being set in stone. The point of this War Room thread would be to make it official.

It would make IRC able to be accessed by users who are blocked on Chat or on-Wiki to access the IRC channel, however only users with bans under a month could access it. Otherwise, it would be blocked from access.

The reason this really is being written is just to stop the bickering between people who think that bans should be carried over or vice/versa. For example, when Metlman13 joined IRC after being banned on Chat, he was ridiculed for joining by certain users.

It really makes sense when you think about it. IRC has pretty much always been considered as not a part of the Wiki by most users, but it’s never actually been official. This thread aims to change that.
