The IRC is a great way to communicate with users; but sadly, it has its drawbacks. A recent incident (which I will not name any participants of) happened between two wiki chatrooms; our wiki and another. While I do not have the full details on what happened I can say that neither of the two wikis were more 'to blame' then the other. This incident is not the first to happen between two wiki chatrooms that involve some of our users.
Clearly, a few grudges have been building up on the IRC between wiki community members. The members of the other community in this recent even say there are no grudges. This is relieving, as a rivalry between the two wikis could have been very unpleasant, all because of a simple argument.
Another instance is a user who has repeatedly threatened users on the IRC, and was thus blocked on wiki.
After a discussion with our IRC contact, GEORGIEGIBBONS, we have agreed that a few more policies should be implemented as to the use of the IRC. One of them includes a rule of blocking a user on-wiki if they are repeatedly blocked on the IRC and have a wiki account (this is common on many wikis, as it allows users to think twice before misbehaving). The second is for a block to be given on-wiki and on-IRC if a user negatively effects The Sims Wiki (for example, by engaging in arguments with other wikis).
We would like to ask if anyone agrees with these policies, or perhaps have different ideas as to what, if anything, should be done. --[[User:BobNewbie|<span style="color:red; text-shadow: green 0 4px 4px;">'''BobNewbie'''</span>]] [[User talk:BobNewbie|<span style="color: red ; text-shadow: green 0 4px 4px;"><sup>∞(Talk)∞</sup></span>]] 19:37, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

I am however in '''full support''' of the first new policy as we have had a user, as Bob mentioned above, who is a repeat offender of the IRC channel and was blocked on the wiki as they had also trolled here too. It makes sense to have the first policy as it is fair. Having a right to edit the wiki also means having a right to use the IRC channel and if they abuse it, they lose it. {{GGsig}} 19:41, June 12, 2011 (UTC)
:I have the same opinion as Georgie on this matter. <span style="-moz-border-radius-topleft:15px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:15px; border:4px ridge orange; background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(orange), to(black)); ;background-image:-moz-linear-gradient(left, orange, black); -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em black; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em black; box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em black; background-color:black">[[User:Woganhemlock|''<span style="color: #FFFFFF; font-family:trebuchet ms; text-shadow: #000000 0 1px 1px;">WH</span>'']] [[User talk:Woganhemlock|''<span style="color:#ffffff; font-family:trebuchet ms"><sup>talk''</sup></span>]]</span> 00:29, June 13, 2011 (UTC)
