- oh well, the netnews system has been in existence for years and i don't see
- how it has become an 'unorganized hell-hell' for communication..
- most of the problematic channels are those that exist without a well-defined
- purpose. you rarely see much problems in #initgame, #warez #hack because
- these channels exist for a specific purpose, you know what to do when you get
- there and their respective users don't like to see you doing unrelated things.
- but in the case of #hk, #asians, #taiwan, you simply don't know what are you
- supposedly to say there. are they for chatting? for social discussion? for free
- hugs and kisses? heck, i am currently banned from #taiwan because i tried to
- start a taiwanese language discussion on #taiwan.. :)
- perhaps these 'cultural' channels need a better organization? like
- #hk-social-talk, #hk-culture-talk, #hk-dating, #hk-bash, #hk-whatever..
- or better yet, #hk should rename itself to something like
- #hk-for-my-friends-only-and-foes-will-be-banned?
- from my experince, the _only_ channel justifies having a bot is #initgame. :)
- logic: i love you!
