katesmith kilne from freenode

Post Reply New Topic

FWIW we miss you.

You were a good op. Those are in short supply right now (heck, ANY ops are in short supply right now). And more importantly, you at least give off the impression of being a good person.

But of course you have to do what's right for you. *offers cookie*

I think that the kline on me has been very difficult for me. Having autism
and having no place like wrongplanet to go to for support and for friendship
is difficult on me. Being klined from freenode makes me feel very bad about
myself. I wish that you can help me and be more understanding to me and
lift my kline. I did appologize for all the bad things that I did, and I
did promise you that I would be nice to other users. I am not a bad person,
it is not like I am a pedeophile or anything like that. I really feel like
I should have another chance to prove myself to be good. I am hoping that I
can move forward from this and improve myself. I really should not be
klined forever. I was upset when ango took over my room, but I am not the
only person he done that to. He did that to #bellyplanet too, and took over
storms room. I think that was a mean thing for ango to do. One of the
things of being autistic is that I am very easily able to be tricked and
mixed up. I am sorry for causing all the problems. I think that people mis
interpret me on the things that I say. I dont expect you to understand how
it is to be autistic like me, I would not wish that on anyone. Well
thankyou for listening.

Basically ango took over my room and I had a melt down on freenode. I guess I cant be helped.

*munches cookie and thanks for the support, we need more users like you*

thankyou very much for welcoming me sinsboldly, I hope that I gain more friends in wrongplanet. I will try to be a better person. I am 44 yrs old with 2 kids their both boys. I have aspergers, and I take medications. I am at a point in my life that I need some friends more then anything else in the world right now. I am also online on chatautism on irc.chatautism.com if anyone wishes to come and visit me online there. At least there is not too much drama on their chat room. I hope that I meet more friends from wrongplanet. I think that I have lots to learn. Thankyou all for listening to me.

you know, guys, all this talk about avoiding banns and how to circumvent being detected by IRC 'cops' and moderators is really inappropriate. We have our own rules on WrongPlanet.net that says

3. Other inappropriate content and behavior prohibited on Wrong Planet:
This also includes discussion of locked topics, discussion of banned members and why they were banned and anything else that purposely causes conflict with other members.

The mod team allowed KateSmith to voice her distress and sadness about losing her access to her chat program. We welcomed her to use WrongPlanet.net as an outlet for her need to socialize and connect with other people.

The conversation has degenerated into violating the above mentioned rule.

If you can discuss something other than circumventing rules of this website or any other, then proceed, if not, remember your names are all here, discussing your tips and tricks.

it is me again. I finally have no kline on me no more, it has taken around 41 weeks. I am still sorry for losing my cool in #freenode. I never meant to harm anyone and i appologize for everything. I promise that I will behave myself. I am happy that my kline is removed.

I am sorry but I agree with Freenode. You made a threat (calling it a "promise" can be seen as even worse). In society such things are taken seriously. You acted rashly and got hit for your actions. You have nobody to blame for this but yourself. You made a command error with the modding but instead of going about it the right way you got angry and over reacted. The fact that you think your life is over because you cannot get on chat is pretty bad.

Edit: I see it got resolved. I am glad it got resolved, my previous statements hold true still however.

I finally have got the logs of exactly what i said that day in #freenode. Here is what happened to me.

1.20:06 < katesmith> anyone here i would like to drop the channel #katesmith
2.20:06 < katesmith> can someone please help me out here
3.20:07 < katesmith> how would i drop #katesmith
4.20:07 <+stew> katesmith: the founder would have to do it
5.20:08 < katesmith> it carries your registered nickname, so they might make an exceptoin
6.20:08 < katesmith> it carries my registered nickname
7.20:09 <+stew> katesmith: who said we would make an exception?
8.20:09 < Kvant> i don't think that gives you any claim to the channel, though
9.20:09 < agorist> katesmith. is "katesmith" a foss project?
10.20:09 < katesmith> i am the founder of #katesmith
11.20:10 <+stew> katesmith: no, you are no longer the founder of #katesmith
12.20:11 < katesmith> ango took and stoled my channel
13.20:11 < katesmith> but i will get ango back for that
14.20:11 < katesmith> one way or another i will get back at ango
15.20:13 < agorist> katesmith. that's between you and ando. if by chance you feel you have the rights to "katesmith" for the purposes of a foss project there are some procedure that can be taken by you. look on freenode's website.
16.20:13 <+christel> katesmith: you would need to file a GCF and prove that #katesmith is ontopic for the network before that channel is released, please do try to follow the channel naming policy rather than come in here every day repeating the same question
17.20:15 < katesmith> i will get ango back one way or another believe me i will do it somehow
18.20:15 < katesmith> since i cant have my channel back
19.20:16 <+christel> katesmith: ok, please stop making threats in here, that will not help your case, and if anything it could potentially send your use of freenode to an end -- i understand you are frustrated, however, you will need to comply with our channel naming policies -- and you would have lost the channel regardless seeing how it was in the wrong namespace
20.20:16 < katesmith> it is not a threat it is a promise
21.20:17 -!- katesmith [n=mnrkate@unaffiliated/costume] has quit [K-lined]


I am still sorry for what i did. I really think that this has really ruined my reputation. I am ashamed of this. I dont usually act like this. I am usually not really a bad person.

There is one more thing that i did forget to do, and i hope that i am not too late. I want to thank everyone who did give me emotionally support through the difficult time that i had. It was a big help to me.
