here it is...

Except these are all W3 clients which most likely are Shamans....this is definitely not a server split result.

WaRs.. is a shell Zds, which is actually a WAR2 Client... -.-

Could have been designated. And since it has no gavel, it's possible you did a /me ChRoNiC and just edited the picture And it looks like it might be real but obviously there are no time stamps so....there is no telling how long apart these events occured.

lol, are you dumb, i explained what happend go to the first page and read what i said, in no way does this have to do with not being designated... it WAS designated. but the status flags did NOT change for users that were in the channel at the time. and if you think otherwise, get on broodwar client and come to clan eF.

This was happening yesterday in my channel. I designated somebody, and he was able to ban people, but appeared without a gavel and flags of 0. When I did /who, it didn't show him in brackets - nor when Newby did /who. However, when zorm did /who it did.  Server split?

Yes, it's just a good old-fashioned server split.

Emotes on clients are wrapped in less-than/greater-than signs.
These "splits" have been happening for a few days, and are quite easy to force, since they aren't really "splits" per se, but rather a glitch where Battle.Net doesn't send a flags update.

It's safe to say I'm confused by reading this thread.  

You werent on bnet when all channels had ops then probably

Back in the day there were no seperation of servers, east players could play on west servers and still see everyone on east. Which was a great advantage when public channels had ops, not just op or clan channels. If you timed it just right you could grab ops on one server, and than log a bot on to a different server and grab ops on that sever in channel of your choice, mean while you had ops on other server. When the servers would meet you would have 2 ops. If you were really good at timing it, and knew what you were doing you could fill a channel with 40+ ops, use to be a great way to kill a clan you didn't like. Which is probably why bnet eliminated public channel ops, and seperated the servers.

The realms were fissioned off because they couldn't keep the accounts databases synced properly, so people kept overwriting each others' accounts just by acquiring it on a server that was still using an outdated copy of the database.

The private channel operators were ended because people kept attacking the BNCSs to try to knock one offline, so that they could be the first one into the channel when it came back, thereby gaining them control of the channel.  Of course, this is not only rude and illegal, but catastrophic when two competing factions both want the same channel and are willing to do this to achieve it.  At that point, no matter who comes on first, there's somebody else who will (try to) drop the server again.

Ugh... Casualties of war

I used to play when there weren't gateways... I have never seen any of what you are talking about... I did like public channels could be opable. That was before starcraft had 1.09 right?

lmao... skywing is even more powerful then battle.net wants him to be...

Load 2 bots on use-bna-chat06.battle.net.  Load another on other server.  One on other server designates one on 06, resigns.  They will both have ops.  Then there's one bot without ops left over.  Take the one on other server that just got ops, and designate the one who doesnt, resign.  And you will see 3 ops on 06, and 2 on the other server.

If i'm wrong, then just switch 06 with the other server in each spot, did this few minutes ago.
