Please briefly describe the interaction that caused you to file this
ticket:
I was banned from #Fedora-social temporarily (15 minutes) for giving
support without thinking about it being support. We were talking about
Steam on Linux and I didn't consider Steam being ontopic for support
channel. The original question was in format that isn't compatible with
Fedora channel faq,
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Channel_FAQ#Avoid_Open_Ended_or_Ove...
"Avoid asking questions that are over-general, such as 'Does anyone use
<insert software>?'"
Please note other IRC nicks that are involved in this interaction:
jakkobi, fenrus02, BobJensen
Please describe what action or positive change could be adopted based on
this feedback:
Someone could tell that action is considered as giving support and asking
to move it to the main channel or /query before giving ban.
Any additional notes or logs:

2013-01-01 21:15:39 jakkobi I found the package but my problem is that
