Wave ciao-a-tutti to the Italians. Despite many years of trying to at least get along with our Italian joiners it has been made very apparent that nothing has changed since the Italians had quit history with an End of Rome error. Italians are now banned from the chat channel indefinitely.

Let me name the litany of offences the Italian IRC Mafia has committed so far:

• Losing their rags and spouting abuse.
• Losing their rags and spouting abuse in Italian.
• Losing their rags and spouting coloured abuse in Italian. (notice a pattern emerging?)
• DDOS-ing members and owners
• Breaking every rule in the book repeatedly.

To our Italian friends abroad: I’m very sorry I have to do this to you. We get the same tiring and trite abuse day after day, and as you know it hasn’t been easy. We have tried to see the Mafiosi for what and who they are, not blaming you for the errors of your countrymen. That has come to an end now. Over 90% of the abuse is committed by your countrymen, and while we are not in the business of collective punishment, we believe this step is the only way of keeping the channel the way we want it. After the latest spate of DDOS attacks against [dille], osi, myself and many others I have unilaterally decided to ban all of you.

The ban will be removed at an unspecified time in the future. Don’t count on days, count on months to years.

So, in conclusion I’d just like to state: Fuck you again, Italians. You are no longer welcome.
