[crossfire] Unban me

Ryo banned me and tor from #crossfire because no
matter how much one contributes to CF one has to fit
in with the clique, be "nice" and "sociable" and
accept constant art-by-committeism + the trollage by
Leaf that follows when you don't (naturally, this
seems to happen often enough).

And that is your way of asking to be unbanned?
Placing blame on someone else?

How about looking at it as:
Everyone has to follow certain rules be they developer or not, DM or 
not, irc op or not.

  That hasn't, and will never be the case.  Rule enforcement at all
levels is by whim and mood, as with most clique-managed open-source
communities.  It's undoubtedly a major reason that the wordlwide crossfire
player count is in the hundreds (or less), rather than thousands or more.

I grant that I'm a largely outside observer, but the general politics of
crossfire ensured I'd never step inside.

Try as with all stable communities anywhere in the world.

The nature of rules is such that to have them enforced uniformly would
be unjust. because rules only describe concepts, not individual
circumstances.

This is why court systems the world over allow for extenuating
circumstances. (and why politicians who distrust their local judicary
and try to make the response to such  calls formalised in law create
the loophole-filled laws that blight most nations in the world today)

I suspect there are five more noticable reasons for the lack of players.

1) mediocre performance on slow/laggy network connections (crossfire
was designed for playing on an internal university network, and has
never really been properly optimised to cope with modem connections,
that up until only a couple of years ago were very common)

2) a historical lack of stability. - less of an issue in stable server
releases, though the metalforge and cat2 servers sometimes find rather
more bugs than might be preferred (that is, however, the nature of CVS
code).

3) difficulty in setting up clients - until comparitively recently
this required some interesting playing with telnet, and windows client
support is a fairly new (and under exposed) thing - I've had a small
go at helping in this respect myself (look at the posts about
autopackage from last month)

4) High initial learning curve to play the game - partially this is an
artifact of the way existing clients are created, partially this is a
map/item issue (the god-given initial items are an interesting detail
for a newbie who accidentally drops something).

5) lack of information about the project. - there are some steps being
taken to deal with that. (
http://www.gamesites200.com/mpog/vote.php?id=2197 is one of them)

> I grant that I'm a largely outside observer, but the general politics of

I have not seen any noticable intrusion of politics in the project
itself, arguably on the metalforge server such a thing can be
observed, but metalforge != crossfire

With all of the problems and issues that have arisen since I joined
the project, I have never seen anything but a desire to find the best
or most useful technical solution to the problem at hand,

May be is it time for you to consider there is probably a good reason
why you get banned from everywhere.
Probably you are trying to get the world record of being banned from
everywhere
You are already the first person to get banned from
list.debian.org, the first from bugs.debian.org, and this appear
on first results on google, great job. Now your mail is simply trolling
and whinning again. Being a commiter does not grant you the
right to insult other commiters or either players. I don't know exactly
'why' you
get banned, but i think everyone here can guess you where still
polluting the chan in some of your favorite way.

I was banned from the debain lists because the debian
people are pro-women's rights for the most part. The
ban had no effect, I post to those lists at will
(check out debian women's list for confirmation).

Crossfire is a clique based project, it does not
matter how much one contributes, if you don't obey the
clique then it's felt that it's better that you leave.
We wonder why there are few CF developers... well men
usually don't take kindly to "do as I say because you
have to obey!" mentality, which is the current CF
mentality.

I don't think there are few CF developers.

Moreover, i have always though the reason
crossfire had so little success was because of
lack of strict development rules, people can do
what they want as long as players enjoy it.
All is required is to follow some development guideline
which were agreed by other developpers.

I'm sorry, I seem to be a bit confused here, weren't you supposed to
be supplying reasons why you /shouldn't/ be banned?

I rather think that the set of people who do /not/ :
 1) repeatedly and incessently, troll about women's rights and
development methodology,
 2) 'quit' whenever they felt they aren't getting their own way
 3) immediatly rejoin after being kicked, then kickbanned, using
various proxies before considering there might be a reason for being
kicked in the first place.

form a fairly large clique.

Please consider joining this 'clique' of ours, there are another 6.4
billion (cia estimate) members waiting for you to do so.

If anything there is a /lack/ of this at the moment. If you think
otherwise, then answer this question:

What will be in the next stable release?
Which features, which bug fixes, which changes will be in crossfire
between now and when 1.9 is out? What has to be finished? Who is
currently blocking the release of the next version and therefore needs
to be 'ordered' to complete something?

I don't think this point needs further comment.

I'd rather not join the pro-women's rights clique. For
some reason I don't believe that women who murder
their husbands or children should get away (regardless
of the reason), I think said women should be hanged
without a drop, then just before they die taken down
and taunted and then strung back up for the final
removal of said "goddess". Women should have no
rights.
 
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_east/4321130.stm
Woman stabs husband because he is verbally abusive,
gets community service.

I pray that that woman is murdered in the streets
while she is doing her community service... where's
the muslims when you need them (or as cave tell's me,
they're pro-women's rights too (their religious texts
are atleast)).

Point is that if you follow the proper "netiquette" of good behavior, you'd 
never get banned from anywhere.

Keeping anarchy from crippling a project that exists for so many years, 
involving people with so many different habits is a difficult task. That's 
why there are some basical rules to follow - and it is already hard enough 
sometimes to coordinate everything.

Being part of a community and participating to a project starts by accepting 
its rules. If you don't want to comply, provide good reasons to show in which 
way those rules are harmful for your work and should be changed.

Apart from that, I agree with the "clique": if you don't obey the rules, it is 
indeed better to leave.

There are more than enough developers for a project of that scale.

Again, if you have good reasons not to comply to rules that were edicted for 
the goodness of everybody contributing, then expose them. Else, either comply 
or leave. Simple as that.

Keep your political rants outside of this list, which is devoted to Crossfire, 
not to your personal opinion about topics that aren't related to it. That's 
*also* part of common courtesy.

This information *is* kept but not in a public place. The IRC Ops
from #crossfire have access to history of most (if not all) bans. The
history includes the relevant "conversation".

Well, could you *please* keep the political rants away from this mailing list ? 
This is devoted to Crossfire, not to what you think about Freedoms, Women or 
other conspiracy theories.

May I request for the list administrator to take the necessary measure to 
regulate what can only be labelled as troll, please ?

Subject: Re: [crossfire] Unban me

I'd rather not join the pro-women's rights clique. For
some reason I don't believe that women who murder
their husbands or children should get away (regardless
of the reason), I think said women should be hanged
without a drop, then just before they die taken down
and taunted and then strung back up for the final
removal of said "goddess". Women should have no
rights.
 
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_east/4321130.stm
Woman stabs husband because he is verbally abusive,
gets community service.

I pray that that woman is murdered in the streets
while she is doing her community service... where's
the muslims when you need them (or as cave tell's me,
they're pro-women's rights too (their religious texts
are atleast)).

Death To women's Rights, Liberties, and Freedoms.

Agreed, at least in the discussion's current form.

I also think that it may be a good idea to keep more information about
bans from now on.  Possibly including the text of the conversation
leading up to the banning.

This isn't crossfire-devel, not everything is thus
