title: "Trying to be a better op"

*If ops are attacked, the channel is also hurt as much as if users were
|
|
attacked. Thus I am also taking action if op is attacked.*
|
|
|
|
Usually when I am op, it's easy to take action when someone else or some
|
|
user is attacked. When op is attacked and they take action, they are
|
|
"unable to handle criticism" or "abusing ops" or *anything like that here.*
|
|
|
|
From now, I will try to unlearn from that and be a better op at least on
|
|
channels that have clear (written or not) rules as on channels that don't,
|
|
there possibly no way to know what the ops are even supposed to do other
|
|
than look so scary that no one does anything bad.
|
|
|
|
There are only two issues that I see immediately now that I am typing this:
|
|
|
|
* What is an attack?
|
|
* What if it's not an attack and op makes a mistake?
|
|
|
|
The second is easy to answer, if there are multiple ops, the user affected
|
|
by the mistake can discuss about it with other ops present and/or the
|
|
other ops can revert whatever was done.
|
|
|
|
But there is still the question *what is an attack*?
|
|
|
|
*Attack is a deliberate attempt to hurt someone* which again is unclear,
|
|
but so I am told and I must probably use my judgement on it which again
|
|
can results to mistakes, but those are reversible by other ops.
|
|
|
|
<s>Trying to analyze logs of the previous case this happened, it looks like
|
|
attack is at least:</s>
|
|
|
|
* <s>directly targeted to a person, not part of them, and not generally saying
|
|
that some part of them makes or doesn't make them X and neither it's
|
|
generally talking about that part and oneself own experiences of them.</s>
|
|
* <s>the *not*-parts still feel like attacks reading this, but other ops
|
|
say that it's assertiveness.</s>
|
|
* <s>talking about privilege for living in X where things are better and that
|
|
means that the attacked one cannot have any kinds of issues with anything</s>
|
|
<s>including mental health</s>
|
|
* <s>talking like the attacked one was attacking them</s>
|
|
|
|
* <s>*additions welcome*</s>
|
|
|
|
Attack seems to also be when the attacked one communicates being
|
|
uncomfortable (which should be done clearly, but do they always remember
|
|
that instead of getting defensive) or when third party tells the people to
|
|
calm down, but other party still continues. <s>I think the usual three
|
|
warnings policy can be implemented here.</s>
|
|
|
|
One way to express uncomfortability or feeling attacked would be for
|
|
example saying "I think that is disrespectful" or "I feel you are attacking
|
|
me".
|
|
|
|
Further reading would be the two policies from freenode and I currently
|
|
don't feel like commenting them further as my opinions are known.
