JimmyRat Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 (edited) I just wanted to make you all aware of the people that are in the IRC channel #geocache on irc.slashnet.org, I came into this room for the first time with my two kids watching as well, as they are also into Geocaching As you can see I had my name changed because it was already taken, so upon changing my name I receive the message you see below, I jokingly responded with one of the built in responders in my IRC client to be greeted by this imbecile and his barrage of abuse. I just wanted to make anyone aware that is thinking of going in there or allowing their kids in there to stay well away, it’s the certain few that spoil it for the rest [8:05pm] *NickServ* This nickname has been registered; you may not use it.

+sept1c_tank Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 SilentBob has never been known to be silent. Although I don't frequent the chat room much, I have been witness (maybe even a party to) to some seedy conversation there. Keep in mind that this website basically disclaims, in the index link, any control of Clayjar's chat room. Not saying that I condone the type of language you have illustrated, but at least now you know what you may encounter there. I've found though, that most participants there are at least as civil as they are in these forums. Perhaps your timing was just bad. Link to comment

+Stunod Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 (edited) Considering that Keystone deleted the offending info from the duplicate post in Getting Started, maybe we shouldn't be quoting this... Edited November 17, 2005 by Stunod Link to comment
+Jeep_Dog Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 (edited) This is a duplicate thread to one with similar replies over in Getting Started. So, joy! We can read about "slapping" in two forums. However, since it was appalling and offensive in the irc room, why is it less so here? Edited November 17, 2005 by Jeep_Dog Link to comment
+CYBret Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 As noted on the link that takes you from the Groundspeak Forums to the ClayJar Chat Channel on IRC #geocache, this service is not sponsored by Groundspeak. Please address your complaint to ClayJar, who manages the channel. The material is equally offensive when posted into the Groundspeak Forums, so I've removed it. Content posted here is governed by the Forum Guidelines linked at the top left corner of every page. ClayJar would be able to speak to any guidelines which might govern the #geocache channel. Thanks. I couldn't have said it better myself....glad I didn't have to. Closing and editing this one too. Bret Link to comment
