This page is to all of you who want access (ops) in the #armenians channel.
Oh my, I should have written this part of the page a long time ago. The truth is I have so much to say that I don't know where to start.
It's true that it says in the channel rules that someone has to be over 18 in order to get access, it also says that he/she needs to be a regular as well......but that doesn't mean that whoever is over 18 and a regular in our channel he/she automatically gets access.
Every time I log onto IRC....and I mean EVERY TIME I get a headache by those who message me asking for ops, I get 8-10 of them minimum each time. All ages from 14 to 40. I'm tired of saying no, I try to be as polite as possible, refuse them as nicely as I can but they don't seem to understand.
Here's an average conversation I have with them:
********************************************************
user: "Hi, how are you bro?"
me: "I'm allright, how about yourself. Are we brothers?"
user: "Good, look I've got a guestion"
me: "Ask away"
user: "Can I have access in your channel?"
me: "Sorry, no vacancies for the time being"
user: "I have been a user of this channel for the past 6 years and I still don't have access"
me: "How can you be a user of the channel for the past 6 years when it's only been 4 since I registered it?"
user: "Oh well, 4 years then. There are people here who have been on IRC for 1 year and you gave them access, why don't you give me?"
me: "Perhaps they applied before you, perhaps they are more capable to run a channel than you are, there are lots of reasons why they are ops and you're not."
user: "They don't even know how to make a script man"
me: "This is not Microsoft kid, we don't need opers who make scripts, we need ops who can run a channel.
user: "Come on man, I really NEED this, it's not a joke, it's a matter of life and death !!!"
me: "Why, did anyone tell you they'd kill you if you don't get access in the channel?" :)))
user: "No man, you see I own an internet cafe and I think it's good for the business' image if I have access in your channel"
me: "Oh, would you mind explaining how that works? I mean I can't see the connection between your job and having access in my channel. You want the access for yourself or for the kids who come there?"
user: "I'm a hacker you know"
me: "Good for you, but why are you telling me this?"
user: "I'm gonna hack your channel, I'm gonna take it over, I'm gonna flood, I'm gonna nuke the users etc. etc."
me: "Good luck, bye now"

So people, in order to save time for both you and me stop asking for access, stop wasting your breath and get me upset. You achieve nothing by threatening, cursing, nuking others or whatever else you get a kick out of doing :)) The most likely thing to happen is you might get banned if you're being a pain in the neck.
It takes a lot more than being over 18 and being a regular in order to get access in #armenians, You have to win my trust to start with....and I'm telling you, it's easier kissing the back of your neck than gaining my trust :))
Another thing some people do is tell other ops to tell me...you know how it goes :)) What you don't know though is that when I'm not happy with a new op I remove him/her, and if another op has recommended him......his access is also removed !!! I don't think any of my ops would risk their own access for you, don't you think? So stop bothering the others as well :)
There are a lot more things you need......I might add those in the future.
Ending this page I'd like to tell you that I take down the names of those who express their wish to become an op, when the time comes I ask around and decide (I'm the one who takes the decisions) No matter how much you beg, no matter how much you threaten you can't change my mind, what you might achieve by insisting and becoming a pain in the butt is the removal of your name from that particular list.
Thank you
