Please describe what action or positive change could be adopted based on this feedback:
It's very difficult to figure out who is in charge and who isn't, as it appeared the present ops didn't get their ops from chanserv so it's not really obvious to an outsider who's in charge.
pitchfork was speaking authoritatively on a technical support issue, and then out of nowhere started (unnecessarily imho) rudely refusing to talk to the person he was helping unless they changed their style of typing.
any kind of quiet discussion was prevented by his block on private messages. and in the end it turns out lamah was typing short length messages because of a situation with his monitor.
some suggestions:
it would be good if ops were oped so it was clear whether or not pitchfork was an op.
i don't see any rules against having shorter messages in the channel. if this is an important matter of etiquette then it should be added to the FAQ
there is a rule against flaming, it should be enforced https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Channel_FAQ#Avoid_Flaming
ops should accept privmsgs (not saying they don't, just something to think about)
Any additional notes or logs:
Thanks for your feedback!
Purely from a clarity perspective, pitchfork isn't an op
+O'ing ops in #fedora is a potential fix, but I've heard it also might make us targets? I don't know this as I've never done it, just what I've been told.
Interesting that this one comes up here. Now let me make myself to the most hated op in #fedora* :)
pitchfork is no op, correct. He is very well known with his former nick for a lot of things. Most of them, well, negative.
"IMHO", he's one of the few persons in the channel, allowed to act as he wants, due to "other people" speaking for him and even fighting for him/his rights. I'm currently not going to point with fingers at persons. I was the one (some time ago) with the balls to make his wish come true and perm banned him from #fedora and #fedora-social (one for posting porn pics in the open channel and in PM to users not expecting that, the other for attacking me personally badly in PM and the open channel). Now the interesting part, both bans got lifted, extremely soon. One without any permission from me, by his personal-care-taker.
I'm always impressed when i think about, that people, follow conversations, do read logs, but nobody cares for real what happens. Some people can do what they want, op and non-op. It ends up with "the situation wasn't handled perfectly", "hopefully we can learn something from it". Yes, people are already educated how things work in #fedora, they already learned it :)
That's one of the reasons i started to not care about #fedora that much as i did in the past, in my spare time. Often i just watch the channel. Quite interesting, as i said.
Oh, before i forget.. I see my role as op not as the hardcore helper with some extra power to kick out/ban poeple, but as a person trying to keep the channel calm. Includes to not be the one flaming, attacking others in the first place.
As said, feel free to hate me, but it's the truth.
Great feedback/ideas. :)
We talked in the past about 'voicing' known good/active helper folks. We could revisit that. We got bogged down in who should be voiced, but we could just say: "An op should voice themselves if they are active in channel and wish to help folks"? Something to discuss at next meeting...
I'll note also that many new users will have no idea what op or voice means or how to look for it, but it might help others.
There is a short and not very clear section of the faq: "Using the enter key or "lol" as punctuation should also be avoided." which I think we should rework completely.
There's lots of reasons people don't like private messages. ;( So, not sure we have any way to fix that.
Thanks for the ideas/thoughts.

"Switching your name based on your various periods of inactivity can also be rather annoying, especially when overused. There are many people in channel, please be considerate of their attention."
Yes, please be considerate of their attention and do not engage in a 20-line long lambasting of someone for going -afk (a VERY common convention in the #fedora- development channels) in the channel. If you have a problem with someone's nick, and you know them, talk to them about it privately! If the point is to 'save' the channel from off-topic noise, yelling at someone across 20 lines is extremely counter-productive.
I've completely given up on #fedora. If you want developers to participate you need to lighten up on this following-the-letter-of-my-arbitrary-law-to-the-extreme-of-missing-the-entire-point-in-the-first-place bullshit.
Also "rather annoying" isn't a policy.
We agreed at the 2011-06-23 meeting that we shouldn't be warning people for nick changes that are not overused or anoying.
We also decided not to use op/voice at this time in the channel.
