Mikaela Suomalainen 8153b58b74 channel: add brackets to "and higher"
> (h)ops (and higher)

Halfops don't exist on all networks and usually ops are the highest, so
they can as well be in brackets to be more clear.

Rules of my IRC channels that may or may not exist with multiple names in multiple networks.
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.

  • 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.
  • Dont log the channel publicly.

  • Dont bring bots to the channel without asking ops first.

  • If you need help from channel op, ping them or PM them (keep in mind that they might not want PMs and block all PMs by default) or depending on the network and your flags (if you are voiced this probably works), /msg memoserv sendops #channel message here.

    • If there are no ops present, ask network operators. They should be on the access list.

These rules also affect (h)ops (and higher), if you see them breaking these rules, please do say it.

Furher reading:

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