|
<p>Hello Libera Chat users,</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>We intend to extend the routine nickname expiry policy from 10 to 20 weeks,
|
|||
|
|
doubling the time a nick must be unused to consider expired. Please read on
|
|||
|
|
below to find out more about what this means and why we’re doing it.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>One of the unusual things about IRC is that you can group multiple nicks to
|
|||
|
|
your account identity - essentially giving you what seems like multiple
|
|||
|
|
usernames.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>This is cool, but in order to prevent nicks becoming unusable where an account
|
|||
|
|
has grouped them, but never uses them, we also have an expiration policy:
|
|||
|
|
currently that policy states that any nick unused for 10 weeks can be removed
|
|||
|
|
from your account, on request for re-use, at staff discretion.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>This is a policy that’s been extant for many years, inherited from our
|
|||
|
|
previous incarnation, and it’s served us well. After giving it much thought,
|
|||
|
|
however, we’ve decided that we believe that 10 weeks is too short a period of
|
|||
|
|
time. It’s not been uncommon for people to take 2-3 months away from IRC and
|
|||
|
|
find that their account has been dropped.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>With this in mind we have considered a number of options, but decided that
|
|||
|
|
simple is best, a straight doubling of the time-span. This also means that
|
|||
|
|
setting your account into VACATION mode also doubles, reaching 60 weeks - a
|
|||
|
|
bit over a year.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>We intend to bring this policy into effect in 10 weeks time, so as to avoid
|
|||
|
|
changing the status of any nicks until a full expiry period has elapsed under
|
|||
|
|
the current policy. You can see the exact working of the policy change <a href="https://github.com/Libera-Chat/libera-chat.github.io/pull/173">at the
|
|||
|
|
pull request here</a>.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Please note that as with the current policy, expired nicks are <em>not</em>
|
|||
|
|
automatically dropped. Expired nicks are only dropped on request, and subject
|
|||
|
|
to staff discretion. Please do not be concerned about your account or nicks -
|
|||
|
|
we are only extending the current policy to make it even less likely that they
|
|||
|
|
are expired. We also plan to re-evaluate how this policy has gone in a while,
|
|||
|
|
to see whether 20 weeks is working for us all.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>As always, we’re available on <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">/stats p</code> and in <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">#libera</code> to answer any
|
|||
|
|
questions you have about this policy.</p>
