If you have any questions or comments, or are experiencing technical problems with the IRC, post here. If your question, comment, or problem is of a private (but relevant) nature, or if for whatever reason you do not wish to post it in the forums, PM whichever OP you think has the permissions to handle what you need handled. If that OP does not have the permissions, they will either direct you to the proper OP or speak to that OP on your behalf.
If you have been banned from the chat, you disagree with an OP action, or a user is doing something you think needs to be taken care of, do not drag it onto the forum threads. If it concerns a general user, PM any given OP if no OP is in the IRC at the time. If it concerns an OP's behavior, PM the OP in question. Once again, DO NOT DRAG YOUR ISSUE ONTO THE FORUMS! The forums and the IRC, while connected, are entirely separate in terms of governing. The forums belong to Keiro and Distind and abide by their laws. The IRC belongs to Keiro, and abides by his laws.
Please note that though some of the Channel OPs are also Forum Mods, not all of them are. Channel OPs can help you with the IRC, not the forums. If you have forum problems, contact a Forum Mod.
