Bondage.com Speaks

[volante{Kyr}]

[22:06] <Ehre> look this whole t`hassa ban business if out of control
[22:06] <trela|na> it would be seen as such yes, if we'd not tried for a whole fucking week to stop the spam
[22:06] <trela|na> maybe when the spam slows down, the filter will be lifted
[22:06] <Kyrerus> There's just one problem.
[22:06] * JSCrashad is now known as switchrca
[22:06] <Ehre> it's assinine.. it's a common word used in the Gorean society
[22:06] <Kyrerus> You've banned a word that's common.
[22:06] <trela|na> we tried and tried and tried, and we know that Ehre
[22:06] <trela|na> even talked to the admin there
[22:06] <Kyrerus> What if people were bitching collarme.com, and so collar were so banned?
[22:07] <trela|na> they didn't chose to listen, we chose to get tough
[22:07] <Kyrerus> That's retarded.
[22:07] * trela|na smiles and shrugs a lil
[22:07] <Ehre> oh for gods sake people are going to go if they're going to go..pissing off half of Gor with this stupidity is not helping this site AT ALL
[22:07] <trela|na> we do appreciate your input
[22:07] * dervla{OK} is on IRC
[22:07] <Kyrerus> Hang on, let me finish.
[22:07] * Zerogummi smiles
[22:07] <trela|na> and frankly heh...
[22:07] <Kyrerus> Anyone who was going to go over there went a while ago
[22:07] <trela|na> we could care less if folks go
[22:07] * switchrca ([e-mail]) has left #help
[22:07] <trela|na> we'd love to see the goreans simply disappear
[22:08] <Ehre> then why worry abbout the spamming?
[22:08] <trela|na> but don't use our server to spam it on
[22:08] * Zerogummi agrees
[22:08] <Ehre> oh really?
[22:08] <trela|na> build your own
[22:08] <Zerogummi> really
[22:08] * Kuldan has left IRC
[22:08] <trela|na> do your own hard work
[22:08] * krimsonfurey[Zg] crawls into Zerogummi 's lap
[22:08] * Kyrerus raises his eyebrow.
[22:08] <Ehre> I have been comingon this server 8yrs.. this server and the community we have here is out hard work
[22:08] <Kyrerus> Is that what it's about?
[22:08] <Ehre> our
[22:08] <trela|na> just as we don't go to other servers and spam bondage.com on them
[22:09] <trela|na> never have, never will
[22:09] <trela|na> LOL
[22:09] <Kyrerus> Hey, I agree you have a right to deal with them over it.
[22:09] <trela|na> er sorry, wrong window
[22:09] <Kyrerus> But you're not dealing with -them-
[22:09] <trela|na> we did try for a week to stop it before having to get 'tough'
[22:09] * amber{K} has left IRC
[22:09] <Kyrerus> You're dealing with -us-
[22:09] <Ehre> you didn't get tough.. you got silly and petty
[22:09] * trela|na smiles and does some more work
[22:09] <Kyrerus> And people who ARE loyal to you.... are the only one's you're screwing over it.
[22:10] <Zerogummi> every 5 seconds it was thassa server this and go to thassa server that
[22:10] * trela|na nods to Zero
[22:10] <trela|na> we've logs and logs of it
[22:10] <Zerogummi> it's noit our fault they named the server after a common word
[22:10] * ky`esha{MD} is on IRC
[22:10] <Zerogummi> take it up with the server masters of the irc of gor
[22:10] * Kyrerus will notice you haven't banned the words Dal, Under, Ef, or for that matter, OldGor, or any other number of servers.
[22:10] <trela|na> because we watched those words Kyrerus
[22:11] <Zerogummi> they're not actively spamming here
[22:11] <trela|na> and they were not used near as much in a way for spam
[22:11] <trela|na> right
[22:11] <trela|na> we recorded everytime 'thassa' was said and in what context
[22:11] <trela|na> and still are
[22:11] * ffoxy peeks in
[22:11] <Kyrerus> The big question is... if you don't care if we leave or not...
[22:11] <Kyrerus> As you claim...
[22:12] <Kyrerus> Then why would you interfere?
[22:12] <Zerogummi> it's a matter of spam for another server plain and simple

[dervla]

Sadly this has happened. What is more sad is that this seems to have been a bit of manipulation rather than integrity and honor. One would almost think that the spamming was done intentionally, hoping to make it hard for others to remain on bondage.com .. in hopes they would move to their server? Perhaps not ... but certainly is a possibility?
[22:06] <trela|na> we tried and tried and tried, and we know that Ehre
[22:06] <trela|na> even talked to the admin there
This statement speaks for itself.
That all of us must suffer for the uscrupulous actions of others is even more disturbing.Just like Mistress Ehre and Master Kyrerus and my Master .. and many many more of us .. have spent many years on b.com server ... I myself have been here for at least 6 years and now my vocabulary is restricted because of something that perhaps could have been avoided in the first place.
I wish you all well and mean no disrespect, but it is just an obeservation on my part and a few others I am sure,
Respectfully .. kajira of Oisin

I would tend to agree here (and not just because I own dervla) but it looks as if the whole thing was set up to hit the remaining community on bondage.com - if we can't say 'Thassa' it will cause problems and it does look as though it is intended to do just that.

However should it come to us being forced off due to the idiocy of a few, I will NOT be going to their server - there is an alternative of irc.goreanpathways.com

[Kyrerus con Kar]

Or DalNet. I hear Oryx is doin' fine there.

[Kyrerus con Kar]

Just an update.

Firstly.... Q (server admin) undid the kline for saying thassa. It's still blocked, but that's a fault of the community as well for running channels just to tell people to go to thassa. That's a no no in ircland, and has been since the beginning.

Secondly, officially, irc.bondage.com is not closing. I am taking any rumours to the contrary lightly, as so far, every rumour has proven false and misleading.
