Private Channel

[Tbone]

I've had several of you do this recently, which is why I'm making a post about this. I've noticed a lot of you sneaking into the private channel while two or more people are in there.

The reason why the channel isn't passworded or moderated is because I assume all of you have the respect and courtesy to stay out of the channel when you see people in it. In the description of the channel it says "Please respect others and do not enter this channel unless asked."

It makes you look very suspicious when you try to sneak in there and makes me quickly lose respect for you. If we continue to have problems, I'll have to password or moderate the channel so that no one can use it unless an SA grants it.

hope I didn't bug ya.

No, you weren't my main concern, and no, you weren't bothering us at the moment. However, correct protocol is to send a text message on TS to the person or channel to ask if it is ok. In the time it takes between you entering the channel and finding a break in the conversation to ask if it is ok if you can be there is enough time to hear a lot of stuff someone might rather you not hear.

The point of the Private channel is so that you DON'T get people jumping in the channel and asking questions. If you don't get the word that it is ok to enter BEFORE entering, don't join the channel. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to password it or something...

I apologize for being one of those T, I want you to know I was not sneaking in or anything, as a matter of fact i talked to you the second I entered, but it will never happen again.  Sorry.

I can actually remember a time when Tbone came into the private channel while I was talking with someone else without permission. So does this private channel only exist for Server Admins?

[Tbone]

True, I've made the mistake myself.

I was pulled in to the Private channel a couple nights ago almost as soon as I logged on to TS.  When I spoke up, I was moved out, then moved back in a few seconds later.

Hope I wasn't a bother.  :\

No, I moved you in and Broin didn't know I moved you, so he moved you out. Then I moved you back. lol

i haven't done it once, i do have respect for "private" conversations.  I'd only end up there if someone pulled me in there which hasn't happened yet.

I haven't done it when someones been in there (I don't think) buuuut it's really easy when you're switching to the jacked in channel. I sometimes switch to the private one.

I'm sure that now the subject has been brought up as a reminder everyone will respect the authority of the Private Channel. Sometimes it gets easy to fall into informality.
