I should point out that the trout in question volunteered for the task and participated willingly. Update: it turns out that someone has submitted an opposing petition. This makes things a little more complicated

Quite a fun debate though! Regards, Mentality/Chris

Anywho, if it's removed, it wouldn't solve anything, since people who want to "spam-slap" (woo new word) will simply create a new alias for it.

Change is not really a bad thing. whats it going to hurt if its changed? its not going to mess up a whole lot if anything at all. perhaps it IS time to change the trout to something else. spice mirc up a bit. -Nick (Darko) -Admin irc.aussiechat.org -#Chatzone, #helpdesk
