On IRC, when a conversation wanders offtopic, one of the ops just nudges |
| 12 |
the participants and says "hey, you should move your conversation to |
| 13 |
#gentoo-foo" (or "##foo" or whatever). Wouldn't it be easy enough for |
| 14 |
someone to do that here? It'd be pretty easy to specify what's on- and |
| 15 |
off-topic for each list, and it would be friendlier than moderation, |
| 16 |
just like it's friendlier for IRC ops to ask you nicely to switch |
| 17 |
channels than to simply kick you out. |
