I am going to believe that you already know what IRC is or if you don't, you will go elsewhere to find it out before continuing.

Important note to channel operators

You only get in fights about gender identity and bots.

As there have been issues with channel and network operators on their own guidelines, I am promising the following to avoid issues.

THINGS BELOW THIS NOTICE DON'T AFFECT CHANNELS/NETWORKS WHERE I AM OP(ER).

• I won't comment when other people are misgendered or wrong pronouns are used about them.
• I will ignore lines with the word guy.
  • If the line is somehow important, I might only ignore guy.
  • Exception: The line is addressed only to me or small group including me.
• Please refer to me with pronouns she or they.
  • Singular they (Wikipedia) has been used as gender neutral since 15th century (14XX).
• If I am misgendered (see two previous lists) using misgendering words or the following pronouns or variation of them, I will take issue.
  • he
  • he/she
    • If you are referring to people as he/she, you are ignoring that non binary people exist.
    • I have nothing to do with being he, I am not any less woman than any cis woman.
    • This isn't gender neutral, as I said it excludes non binary people who don't use those pronouns.
      • Please see this link if you are referring to people as he/she.
  • heshe
    • See previous.
    • Also slur often used against #GirlsLikeUs.

END OF CONDITIONAL THINGS (WHERE I OP(ER).

Other things

My bots

I have some bots at freenode and ircnet, but I don't tell more about them than they are [Limnorias] to not make them target to anything.

Templates which I use with ChanServ primarily on Atheme.

As mentioned previously, I am op on some channels and use these templates to make managing access list easier on networks using Atheme Services.

• cstemplate
  • Only trusted people who are specified in the ACL will get voice or op status.
• cstemplate2
  • cstemplate updated for Atheme exttargets.
  • Every registered user gets auto-voice.
    • If voice is only given to trusted people/regulars or similar, please use cstemplate.
