I honestly can't tell if this post is a snarky complaint, or a honest piece of information, or what. - though I think snark is slightly more likely.
This is a problem I frequently experience on LW and almost never experience elsewhere. I'm never sure if it's because of the context or my perception of the typical LW user.
It looked a little unclear to me as well, but the bit about there now existing a new channel without such rules implied that it's probably snark.
It sounds snarky... but perhaps not entirely unjustified. If I was inclined to spend time on IRC I find it highly unlikely that I'd be inclined to participate on those terms.
Replacing the former channel with a new one seems like the appropriate response - assuming there are people interested in that sort of thing who are not already part of the semi-private channel.
