IRC rules
Posted: 27 May 2003 17:53
Copied here, so that they have their own thread and are more noticeable.
Warnings for:
1. Excessive use of colour, bold, underline, CAPS, etc.
2. Annoying away scripts. Really. Honestly, who gives a damn about where you're playing Half-life? Or your PC specs? Or anything else? Do you really need to tell everyone on every channel that you're away on the channel?
3. Status nicks. Same as point 2. We don't need to know when you're playing this game, or that game, or going to the toilet.
Kicks for:
1. Annoying spam (advertising, flooding, caps, etc.)
2. Excessive lameness (l33t n1x0rs)
3. "Inappropriate" discussion (and I'm not talking about going off-topic here ...)
4. Do not operate an fserve or DCC server on the channel. BUT we don't mind you sending each other the odd on-topic picture over DCC
5. 3 strikes on the warning offences
Bans for:
1. Excessive spam
2. Soliciting for idlers (No, we won't help you get L)
3. Way-excessive lameness
4. Trying to lay your hands on CD keys, warez copies of the game, etc.
5. We have regulars below the age of consent. No porn links, or you die.
6. Repeat offences on the kicks
You may, at the discretion of channel operators, be reported to IRC opers for:
1. Porn (especially, but not limited to that involving children)
2. Serious warez offences
3. The Usual Suspects (a myriad of -isms)
