Rules of channel X in network Y.
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 (which actually happens with everything else than topic)

More about my bot (which might or might not be on this channel) here.

  • Use common sense.
  • Be nice, no discrimination
    • Mind your language, not everyone is e.g. your brother (“bro”), dont swear or use slurs.
    • In case you arent sure which pronouns to use about someone else, please use singular they
    • Clearly tell when links arent safe for everyone by prefixing them with [NSFW] or similar.
    • Respect boundaries, dont PM people without asking first.
      • You may PM ops or ops may PM you if its required for solving potential channel issue peacefully.
  • Dont log the channel publicly.
  • Dont 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 (voice?), /msg memoserv sendops #channel <the issue>
    • !ops might work if the ops are highlighting on it or there is bot handling it, but its not as recommended as the other ways.
    • if there are no ops present, try contacting the network operators, they should have flags to help.

Furher reading:

  • Keep your ops opped!
  • Blocking all PMs by default
