I'm currently the only "op" on the #lesswrong IRC channel - I'm told new ops are needed. If you want to be an op, could you reply to this with your FreeNode nick? Thanks!

EDIT: added "Adelene" aka AdeleneDawner

Whoever else you're going to add, I'd appreciate it if you could get around to it sooner rather than later. It's getting very tiring sitting here watching trolls spam up the place when there's no one around to do anything about it.

There is an IRC channel? Does it have much of a following?

Yes, we've had some really good quality discussions there. There's 38 people logged in at the moment.

Is there a way to read past logs? I hate missing out on interesting discussions.

Not that I am aware of... Anyone know if there are logs?

There are two here but I don't know if there are more elsewhere:

I said this in channel, but in case you're keeping it organized here:

I'm available for this if it's useful to you to have someone is more experienced as an irc op than as an LW community member. I won't take it personally if not. ;) I'm relsqui there as here.

I would appreciate feedback regarding the downvote here. Was the offer itself unwelcome? (If so, how can I identify invitiations I'm not welcome to in the future?) Is it merely a vote against opping me? (If so, that's very reasonable, but I don't see what the point is in penalizing me for offering.)

If it's just a matter of being reachable in case something goes wrong and available to kickban trolls or whatever, I can do that.

I'm Adelene, there.

I'm confused. The above post was at +2 earlier, and now it's at +1. Was it downvoted? If so, why? If someone has an objection to me being an op, I'd prefer that they actually say so, so that the issue can be dealt with (by which I mean I'll probably step down).

I wouldn't read much into it. It wasn't me, but I have sometimes used the policy of voting meta stuff that seems like it ought not to affect karma towards zero (upvote if negative, downvote if positive), and it's plausible that someone else might've used the same reasoning. There's also some noise in the voting due to occasional misclicks.

Comment author: AdeleneDawner 20 September 2010 12:57:17AM 0 points [-]

I suppose that makes sense, and thanks for the insight. I'd still like to hear from the downvoter, though.

Comment author: Relsqui 20 September 2010 01:02:56AM 0 points [-]

It might have been the same person who downvoted my reply--perhaps objecting to the conversation taking place here at all?--but that would contradict jimrandomh's theory, since it brought mine to -1.
