::I believe ecks (or MrC?) had once proposed bringing in a spam/flood-control bot to #wikia-sims, since they have experience running such bots. I don't support moving to another IRC network (like Ben's [https://chatlounge.net/ ChatLounge]) unless we really, really, REALLY cannot deal with it any longer. Until then, though, a bot might be useful in automatically catching the trolls, kicking and banning them if needed. We've also tried setting the channel to +z (only users on a secured connection may join), but I'm not sure how successful it has been. Currently the biggest issue with putting the channel at +r is that legitimate users that have not registered with NickServ are instead directed to our overflow channel, #wikia-sims-admins. For the meantime I'd advise channel operators to join that channel as well when they join #wikia-sims. --I am [[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] [[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF"><sup>Talk to me!</sup></span>]] [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F"><sub>See what I have done</sub></span>]] 12:39, November 30, 2014 (UTC)
:::This issue is beyond my understanding. Seeing that the issue isn't specific to our channel, I suppose the possibility for them to eventually leave isn't nil. Nonetheless, I really don't know how severe the problem is, and I'm sure those who are bothered with this wish to act on this. I suppose kicking and banning them aren't sufficient?
:::But you see, I'm not quite sure if I understand what creating a new IRC network is for. Is it like creating a completely separate chat room, but because the offenders only attack Freenode, they won't track us to the different network?
