I just saw someone in #NorthernFurs (FurNet) get kicked because Samia (an Op) didn't like that person.

That, IMO, is abuse of power. Samia does not deserve ops.

Abuse of power in a furry IRC channel?

Never! :O

On a less sarcastic note, this is why I generally don't frequent furry IRC channels or forums, because many furs I could name, especially in the UK (not going to point fingers, but they know who they are) are almost embarrassingly immature, childish, and prone to power-abuse or temper tantrums.

And as with many things furry, power systems generally come down to "I'm an admin, you're my friend, so you get to be an admin too". With the uncomfortably large percentage of immature furs around, it's inevitable that some of them would end up with positions of power.

Go go furries.

I only came back online (after like a year hiatus) and after two hours someone got banned. XD

Y'see the annoying thing was that someone said to me "Come back to #NorthernFurs, it's OK now, no abuse of power there."

I knew it was too good to be true.

The two universal constants: Entropy, and stupidity.

That goes double for furs. ;3

And triple for IRC - at least once channel populations get into the double-digit figures. :P
