Welcome to the #Gentoo-Chat channel, hosted on irc.libera.chat.
#gentoo-chat was created to give like-minded gentooers a safe place to talk and discuss near on anything, except support.
The ops in #gentoo-chat are basically lazy. They like it best when the channel is self moderating. Any user can and should highlight to another user when they are deviating from accepted channel norms. Operators are users too and will not normally wear their op hat.
As this channel is under the #gentoo- namespace, the Gentoo Code of Conduct applies. Please read it if it's new to you.
In addition, the following specific rules of #Gentoo-Chat apply:
This is a family channel so we have peoples of all ages, races, colours and creeds here. Therefore, please respect the behaviour policy below.
Users that form the opinion that some operator action was not justified can follow the escalation process as detailed below.
/join #gentoo-chat-ops and talk to the operator involved. History shows that the best outcomes are achieved with a calm conciliatory approach. That's not to say that the ops are always right but things rarely go well during discussions that start in an angry or confrontational manner.
If you feel uncomfortable talking to the op involved, ask to speak to another op.
In the event that drugs (including alcohol) played a part in events leading up to your exclusion, please wait 24 hours. The ban may have expired by then anyway.
Should attempts at resolution with the op involved fail, the next step is to put it to the entire ops team in the same venue.
The step after that is to file a bug at Gentoo Bugzilla for ComRel. You may make the bug comrel-only.
