| Flannel | Well, if they're idling, send them a query and/or a memoserv explaining that it's not an exactly appropriate nick and it'd be appreciated if they changed it. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Flannel | (I assume "joining and quitting" is on the order of days or hours, not minutes) | 00:00 |
| Flannel | Try a few times, in case they're AFK for long periods, and then banforward. | 00:01 |
| Flannel | If theyre not saying anything, than they're not causing trouble with that nick, because no one sees it except a few times a day. So you don't need to immediately make a knee-jerk reaction. | 00:01 |
| valorie | thank you Flannel | 00:02 |
| Flannel | (banforward is so they can eventually discover the ban and fix it, the ban would be "we did this because you weren't ever awake".) | 00:03 |
| valorie | I've messaged | 00:03 |
| Flannel | Now comes the waiting :) | 00:04 |
| Flannel | In my experience, people have no problem changing nicks when asked politely (unless they're being obtuse on purpose). It's harder to talk them into changing if you start off by poking them with a ban. | 00:05 |
| elky | and usually poking them with words will give you better reasons to ban them anyway | 00:07 |
| Unit193 | Or at least some context to it. | 00:08 |
