READ THIS BEFORE YOU VOTE!
I just noticed that recently a lot of channels were made in the IRC. I can understand that the users aren't very happy with the moderating in #Doukutsu. #Doukutsu is not an official channel (as well as #Curlybrace).
But I think that an official channel is needed, I just noticed that all this creating of new channels affects the community in the IRC a bit. Sometimes you have to be in all 3 channels to be able to talk to all people. And in some channels you have to abstain from moderation and rules in order to do so. I think this is affecting the community in a social way. The community in the IRC is splitting into social groups.
I can understand that the users want to help the community and want to have some rules.
So here is my offer: I will make a semi-official channel, where all the admins/moderators from the forums will be ops. That might not be enough (only me and DT are active in the IRC) so everyone who wants to be an op, is able to apply for it.
OPs will moderate the channel and in terms of a dispute between the OPs and a user, it will be clarified with a neutral instance. Also I have an idea of setting up the rules democratic. (With a poll or something)
