I agree with Piz here, hands down.
Tublear, it sounds to me like you are just making this channel for spite, but are masking it by saying it will just be a better environment. I admit #jj2 can sometimes be a difficult place to get used to, and you may feel shunned or feel like you are being discriminated against for no good reason save the fun of the operators. However most people do not have a problem with the channel, though sometimes I wouldn't be suprised if newer visitors to the channel felt sort of out of the loop or ignored simply because they aren't used to the channel.
People complain that discussions in #jj2 about Jazz2 are rare, however I'd like to say that #jj2 is not a channel directly dedicated to the actual game of Jazz2, but to the community that revolves around Jazz2. Look at the JCF - half of everything is in Misc. You can't just talk about Jazz2 constantly, there is going to be normal everyday discussion about whatever happens to come up. There ARE discussions about Jazz2, there are duels and games set up, you can see the current GIP, and you can talk to people in this community real time.
Of course there is power abuse, but it is all in fun. Admittedly, sometimes ops kick people just because they are generally annoying. Is that fair? No, but you should know when you first come in that there is a bias. So if you don't like it, creating a new channel for spite is pointless...if you can't adjust yourself to the mood and environment of #jj2, learn to. I think you will learn that most of the people there are very friendly, but when it comes to new visitors we like to have a little fun. We may kick for no reason sometimes, but kicking is really just a pointless poke in the side if you turn on Auto-Rejoin. And if we ban you for a while, it is for a good reason. No bans are permanent, either, unless you commit a serious offense.
Moreover, blah blah blah, and frog.
