#Brunei Channel Rules - Important
Monday, October 09, 2006
The Rules of #Brunei Channel are simple:
ON JOIN MESSAGES
Please turn off all ON JOIN messages when in #Brunei. If you don't know how to turn them off, Ask an OP to help you.
INVITES
Inviting others to join another channel is a kick/bannable offense. Besides being disruptive, it's rude. Similarly, flooding the channel with messages to join another channel will result in the user being banned and blacklisted.
BAD NICKS AND LANGUAGES
Any forms of bad nicks which constitute "racism" "drugs" or "sex" will be banned. Similarly, any person found using language considered taboo or insulting will be kicked and if the person still persist, will be blacklisted and banned - and this includes those words which "sound" like bad words - for example fxck, or pak, or fak. Opers are to watch out for these sort of words as auto-kicks cannot be placed on them.
BEGGING FOR OPS/VOICE
+v is given at the discretion of the opers, and ops of course through a thorough process after a formal application. Any form of begging (i.e., repeatitively asking for ops or +v) is to be discouraged with a kick then ban.
ASCII ART/LARGE POPUPS
Ascii art over 10 lines and popups over 10 lines. The scripts will kick, and it's a 24 hour ban.
USING CAPITAL LETTERS
It's a universal rule on IRC that using capital letters to chat is considered shouting. In most channels, this is considered rude and it is down to the discretion of the operators available to decide what action is to be taken on the offender.
ON TEXT EVENTS
Please turn off all ON TEXT events, except the standard !nick filename.wav One person doing a "You hurry back" on BRB is funny, 10 people doing it is ludicrous.
BEING AGRESSIVE
We don't allow any fighting in #Brunei. If you have a disagreement with someone, please take it private. Also, harassing the ops and continuous abuse in the main channel towards them may result in the offender being banned.
WAREZ
Talking about pirate software, or even asking about how to get it is a kick/bannable offense in our channel. People who develope software work hard on it, and stealing is ILLEGAL
FLOODING
Most OPS have scripts which will kick/ban for flooders. Repeating the same thing over and over is considered flooding, as well as running LARGE ascii art. If you wish to run large ascii art, ask the OP on duty if it's OK first, and don't be offended if they say NO.
