CS.Radio News

Posted by The Oracle at 23:19 24/12/2002.

I was enjoying playing my Splinter Cell demo until I heard about 25 *dings* come from my irc. A number of people private messaged me telling me that #cs.radio - the irc channel for the popular CS.Radio station - had been shut down for a period of two days by Quakenet operators eariler today. Quakenet operators closed the channel because telephone numbers were being spammed in the channel and some were used for prank telephone calls, which the ops considered to be 'telephone terror'. Whether or not it was actually 'telephone terror' is immaterial, the decision has been made. Here's an official statement from w1nn3r - a dj of cs.radio:
Quakenet have made a lot of controversial and bad decisions in recent weeks concerning channels and members of the public. But this recent nonsensical action taken on cs.radio can surely be put down as one big mistake made by the feds. Cs.radio will continue to support the gaming community and I know our listeners will stand by us wherever we go. - w1nn3r
There you have it. Currently, CS Radio has relocated to #cs.radio. on quakenet and are setting up shop until they can get their channel back from the Quakenet operators. Well... love it or hate it, CS.Radio has been shut down for two days. Once again, go to #cs.radio. to get any news about this situation.

the reason they done it, imo is coz of the public spammage of any old person's private phone numbers, which could be used by more unsavory types of people, to do things which are..well bad and against the law.. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

im a big fan of cs.radio i must admit , the 1st time they did pranks i found it very funneh but when u think about it , its highly out of order to fone ppl who basically dont wanna be foned simple as it sounds, foning ppl like i-es players and ermmm other members of the cs community was amusing taken as a joke but when the fone calls were of a more expanded community it started getting out of hand. but i stand by cs.radio :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I'm sorry but what a joke. Who here lives in London? Or sorry let me rephrase that to, who here lives in the radius of London to recieve Capital FM? I'm quite sure most of you, if not some of you. Who here has heard of Steve Pank? Again I'm quite sure most of you, his work not only exceeds Capital FM but he used to also work for a radio station in Manchester. Regardliess, half of his set is based around his ability to phone people up and do a prank on them. It's not harmless and people with a sense of humour generally take it as a joke, even if they do not there are others who do find it funny and that it is what society call as entertainment. Obviously the QuakeNet Feds have no sense of humour, spending time after time on IRC on the internet must have had some affect on them.

Now, I'm sorry but if one of the biggest (if not biggest, even in the world) radio stations in the UK are allowed to phone up the Joe Public and do a prank, then how does that make what cs.radio do as wrong? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I run a radio station on quakenet (would rather not say which) and I have to take issue with something. Any pranks we have ever done have been pre-recorded, and we have then gained permission from the person on the phone to broadcast it. That's the legal way to do it. That's the way commercial radio generally does it, and if they don't, they're breaking the law (in the UK). [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

not just capital, i live in kent right at the bottom and i get steve penk on invicta FM. i see what you are getting at though but he doesn't go around giving out the phone numbers on air to everyone that is listening.
It ISNT #cs.radio's fault that they have been shut down, but rather the listers who are spamming channels to get more listeners so someone like DJ Oscar will do prank calls.

IMO #cs.radio have been f***ed [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

My 2 cents:

Prank phone calls are illegal full stop.

It was funny when they phoned up famous cs players etc but when they took random numbers from ppl in irc to call and prank that was just not funny and im sure if you were that person busy trying to get organised for xmas or somethign and you got prank called about something you wouldnt find it funny either.

They cant really argue about the feds decision, the only dubious thing is why they didnt shut down other stations, I believe it may be because other stations only prank call people they know and dont take random numbers from the irc audience.

Merry Christmas to all who reads this :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

The best prank call I heard on cs.radio was the one with wright from ies, who took the whole thing really well. That kind of call is what people from the gaming community can relate to. I think some of the other calls I heard were done badly and quite a few were embarassing to listen to. Some of the ones using famous people voices are really funny , there are plenty of them about so there is not really any need to phone random people up using them is probably more entertaining.

LOL cheers guys........i think

The reason i was acting like a n00b, is because i was drunk. I just got back from an x-mas party to find the channel was purged. So being drunk i let my emotions go on irc which as i see now was a mistake as im never gonna live it down =(. The problem isnt actually with pranking....not at all the problem is with people spamming numbers in the channel, only then is it classed as phone terrror. However we were met half way and OZZY (ircop) re-opend cs.radio and said he doesnt mind us doing pranks, aslong as if any one posts a number in the channel we report it to him. This has been a major learning curve for us, and its only made us better ( i think any way). Last of Very BIG thank you to every noe that stuck with us, you make us ;) Merry x-mas [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Hahah karma is a b***h guys, anyway all the best DJs at cs.radio left, because MashtoN and w1nn3r are both pre pubescent retards. Anyway what goes around comes around, perfect example here.
