My IRC nick is: Mkaysi

Please briefly describe the interaction that caused you to file this
ticket:

I was banned from #Fedora-social temporarily (15 minutes) for giving support without thinking about it being support. We were talking about Steam on Linux and I didn't consider Steam being ontopic for support channel. The original question was in format that isn't compatible with Fedora channel faq, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Channel_FAQ#Avoid_Open_Ended_or_Over_General_Questions "Avoid asking questions that are over-general, such as 'Does anyone use <insert software>?'"

Please note other IRC nicks that are involved in this interaction:

jakkobi, fenrus02, BobJensen

Please describe what action or positive change could be adopted based on
this feedback:

Someone could tell that action is considered as giving support and asking to move it to the main channel or /query before giving ban.

Any additional notes or logs:
