::I agree with Dr. Pain and although he effectively summarizes my opinion, I'd like to add the fact that SmashWiki has no right to control what users do on other IRC channels (save PMs). If you are ignoring a user on another, less moderated channel, and that user happens to arrive on #SW, is it mandated that you unignore them? Finally, while there's nothing against PoD adding the rule in the first place, the spirit of [[SW:1RV]] holds that there should be some kind of community consensus before further implementing rules.

::Piratehunter is a bad example, he was from an age when the channel was a lot more lenient and there weren't set rules, he wouldn't get away with what he did then today. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 18:37, 5 April 2013 (EDT)

:::DP: So your argument is based on stuff from years ago which is now irrelevant because op coverage is better in all regards, the fact that you want to do whatever you want to do on IRC despite presumably respecting all other rules on SW:IRC, and the fact that you never use IRC or the command in question in the first place? Is that an accurate summary of the above? Cos tbh that's a terrible argument... Are you keeping actual logic in reserve for some reason?
:::Anon: Your argument is just technicalities. There's no need to ignore a whole bunch of users so you can have multiple conversations at once. What if one of them wanted to join in, but you had them on ignore, and they were talking to you and taking interest in your conversation? How much of an ass would you look? Why not just take it to another channel, or PM? And no, we can't control what goes on on other channels, but you shouldn't have to ignore users on other channels for the same reasons that you should never have to ignore a user on #sw. If a channel you frequent has bad op coverage, that's not our problem, that's your duty to get your beloved IRC channel better equipped to deal with people who need to be banned. And you're saying the the spirit of 1RV is that someone can revert without any logical argument, and that's taken seriously and requires a community consensus? Is not the most basic spirit of any wiki policy to always use common sense?
