This is wrong, if you have not gotten the idea already, there is baiting 
and organised baiting, for instance I used to do some stuff on a 
Saturday morning early local time. I would be the only person there for 
a couple of hours. If your primary objective is not create a functional 
  support channel, then what is it?


When you are on the way out why not do a
"Mark usernam #Channel-wheretheywere" in #ubuntu-ops.

Perhaps if it had been building over time then the -1 hour or -3 hours 
then that could be included.

As others have the rights to remove bans set by another op. A cold light 
of day approach can be taken by reflecting on the logs at that time

Anything else is burnout for people who are trying to keep channels 
functional.
(No idea how I would know this.)
