It’s nothing like that. If you want a modern analogy, it’s like the moderators of a subreddit abandoning it, and the reddit admins deciding to keep it going anyway. It violates the expected wall between moderators and admins, but it’s hardly theft or impersonation.

But the reddit admins never take away channels like this. For an abandoned subreddit to be took away, it needs _time_. Just like on freenode (where the registration would eventually expire with the expiration of OP's nick). There, rasengan abused his services power to alter the registration without any respect of freenode' policies.

And he's justifying this as "spamming". Because OP's said in the topic of HIS channel that the channel moved to libera.
