- Users Behavior on the Internet Relay Chat system
-
-
-
- The Internet Relay Network (IRC) is a system for communicating with other
- peoples.
-
- IRC is a free speech system. Users may exchange viewpoints with other
- users. But to protect people from abuse there are certain rules that the
- user MUST respect.
-
- If a USER doesn't respect the guidelines/rules stated below, then the
- IRC-ADMIN may suspend or reduce the availability for the USER.
-
- These things are prohibited:
-
- * Using offensive words in channel topics.
-
- * Harassing another user. Harassment is defined as behavior towards
- another user with the purpose of annoying them.
- Harassment is a matter of opinion of the IRC-OP.
-
- * "Dumping" a lot of text to a channel.
-
- * Annoying another user or a channel with constant beeping.
-
- * Any behavior reducing the functionality of IRC.
-
- What kind of action a user is doing to break these rules are up to the
- IRC-OP to decide.
-
- Violation should be straighted out via a civilized conversation between
- the IRC-OP and the USER.
- If the USER is not on-line then the USER should be notified by EMail.
- If the USER wont respect what he's been told then it is up to the IRC-ADMIN
- what to do with the USER.
-
- Many many problems can be avoided all together if the CHAN-OP puts necessary
- restrictions on his/her channel or if the USER learns how to use IGNORE.
-
- If someone finds a USER violating these rules he may contact the USER's
- IRC-ADMIN.
- To find a USERS IRC-ADMIN one may use the /ADMIN <nick-name>.
