**[Suomeksi](channel.fi.html)**
Rules of my IRC channels that may or may not exist with multiple names
in multiple networks.<br/>The channels which use these rules should link
to this page in ENTRYMSG (or other automatic msg by bot) or topic. Channel
URL is not so good as many clients hide it somewhere.
*[More about my bot (which might or might not be on this channel) here.](bot.html)*
* **Use common sense.**
* Be nice, no discrimination
* Mind your language, not everyone is e.g. your brother ("bro"), don't
swear or use slurs.
* In case you aren't sure which pronouns to use about someone else,
please use [singular they](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they)
* Clearly tell when links aren't safe for everyone by prefixing them
with `[NSFW]` or similar.
* Respect boundaries, don't PM people without asking first.
* Don't log the channel publicly.
* Don't bring bots to the channel without asking ops first.
*These rules also affect (h)ops (and higher), if you see them breaking
these rules, please do say it.*
* If you need help from channel op...
* ping or PM them (but keep in mind they might be blocking all PMs)
* if the network supports it and you have correct flags,
`/msg memoserv sendops #channel <the issue>`
* `!ops` might work if the ops are highlighting on it or there is bot
handling it, but it's not as recommended as the other ways.
* if there are no ops present, try contacting the network operators,
they should have flags to help..
