There's a certain smell in the air...

[23:20:17] -StarChat- [GLOBAL NOTICE] can some ops come into starchat if they have some time please. (Please do not reply.)
[23:22:39] -SaD- Global Notice Everyone can ignore that request for joining #StarChat.. false invite.. human error :P [Please do not respond]

I can only say... and this without a trace of bitterness... that's what comes from firing 90% of the good opers, then hiring clueless people and giving them an oline and then a SO without even teaching them what commands they should use, and the difference between a /globops and a global broadcast.

One's not a large enough sample to draw any conclusions, really.. still, it's an amusing image. "Ms Admin, it caught fire again..."

Yes, but something like that should NOT happen. /globops - a global notice that goes to all IRCops currently online - is a basic oper tool. That they don't even know the command, or the difference between a globops and a global notice, means they aren't even given basic training on what they can do. And don't get me started on how dumb that is.

Could just be a slip..

Globops command: /globops your message here
Global broadcast command: /os broadcast your message here

It's not even available to all opers, just ServOp and higher. And it's not exactly an easy typo / slip to make...
