Gamechat gets muted and regulated more tightly because it distracts from the game. IRC is... it's just chat. THere is literally no other activity in the IRC channel that isn't whatever dumb discussion is happening, so there's no worry that the impassioned debate over which Jose Canseco baseball card most truly depicts his dreamy eyes or w/e will detract from the gameplay, because there is no gameplay, because it is a chat channel. Where the only possible activity is to chat.
I super don't think it's ever a good idea to discourage complaints, but I'm going to make an exception in this case. Please only post a complaint if you have a coherent thing to complain about, or at least more coherent than 'i don't know, i heard some stuff was happening, but i didn't see it, or have any evidence of it beyond a sort of a feeling i got, or whatever'.
Dear christ.
