On the fate of PrometheanStardust

The matter of PrometheanStardust's ban was referred to me by Tigger_ as the highest arbitrator of #politicaldebate. Though I prefer not to intervene in disputes pertaining to channel administration, I do not take my responsibilities as channel owner lightly. It is with regret that I must exercise my authority to settle this drawn-out and ugly dispute.

I hereby present my views on the disciplinary action taken by SoleilMoonFrye against PrometheanStardust:

1. Channel operators have a responsibility to safeguard the free communication of ideas and opinions in #politicaldebate.

Which one of you did this?

Hash found this on 4chan:

The only clue as to who did it is the mirc tab at the bottom of the screen.

Greetings From Spain

Marttin's greeting:

#politicaldebate has now gone international, so henceforth must always be referred to as "The World-Famous #politicaldebate"

New Site Feature: Game Arcade

Royal Commission Into the Channel Meet Failure Reopened - New Evidence

After having delivered my report for the Royal Commission Into the Channel Meet Failure, which upon the evidence at hand at the time, found in favour of PrometheanStardust. However new evidence in the form of a startling confession has now overturned the original findings.

Nice big user avatars

Previously the user avatars were limited to a 50x50 pixels size, as much larger and they would break out of the template in various ways to very ugly effect. But this has now been fixed after a lot of messing around with the site's CSS, so that avatars can now be up to 100x100 pixels. This is much, much nicer, with the comments section modified to display this to beautiful effect. So to update your avatar, just select "My account" in the main menu, and the "Edit" button on your Profile Page. This joins the many other subtle improvements to the site, which hopefully you notice.

November channel stats uploaded.

This is a bit late I know, but better late than never. November was a bit of a return to earth, with 77,000 lines of chat, so more in line with September. Warren's psychiatrist would probably know the reason for this.

User Profile Page - Yet another new site feature!

If you so desire, you can use your user profile page to list things about yourself you don't mind being publicly known. A bit like myspace only in a much less ugly format.

Devil's Dictionary - Another new site feature!

Ever had a politically incorrect or contrarian viewpoint? Here is the perfect way to express it, through the Devil's Dictionary. A site user generated index of cynical word definitions not usually openly stated, if you want to keep your job that is.

IRC Quotes - New site feature!

Ever since day one this channel has regularly had many golden lines from the members, which after being briefly enjoyed, then sadly disappear forever into the logs. But no more! Now if you see anything particularly wise, or hilarious, you can now add it to the site to be preserved for posterity. Reminisce with your grandchildren about the wonderful days of #politicaldebate. Quotes are randomly displayed in the left hand sidebar with each page refresh. Also you can view the entire list of accumulated quotes just by selecting "IRC Quotes" in the main navigation menu on the left.
