Freenode broke their own policies to do this: https://freenode.net/policies https://freenode.net/policies
>Primary channels do not expire with inactivity, though they can be claimed at any time by a representative of an on-topic project with the appropriate name. Topical channels expire after 60 days in which no user on the access list for the channel has joined it.
##hntop is a topical channel, since it begins with ##.

- rasengan 5y agoThe policy page you listed said no spamming. Your blog complaint says you spammed.
- spinax 5y ago"This channel has moved to Liberachat, effective immediately: irc.libera.chat ##hntop" You and I have very, very different definitions of spam. I see a guidepost giving me direction.
- soneil 5y agoI really don't think that's going to fly. People are concerned that you don't have the community's best interests at heart. Your actions say you don't have the community's best interests at heart. All this lawyering corpspeak means nothing when your actions don't back it up. If you want to prove us wrong, walk the walk. edit: Looking at the list of top10 channels[0], several of them have such notices in their topics. If this takeover was policy, can we assume you'll do the same to ##linux? Or is it a very selective policy only to be enforced when you have a personal interest or believe you can get away with it?

- wowaname 5y agoIf ##hntop was truly involved in spam, you would shut it down, not take it over.
- wut42 5y agoAre you implying that you are going to deny every community that envisages to leave your network to advertise to their users that they moved ?
- Ketchup901 5y agoWhere does it say that?
- JeremyBanks 5y agoYou are losing trust with every word.
