Rules of channel X in network Y.<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 (which
 | 
						|
actually happens with everything else than topic)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*[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.
 | 
						|
        * *You may PM ops or ops may PM you if it's required for solving
 | 
						|
          potential channel issue peacefully.*
 | 
						|
* 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 (voice?),
 | 
						|
      `/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.
 | 
						|
