Rules of my IRC channels that may or may not exist with multiple names in multiple networks.
Definition of my channel: I am the only founder and the channel doesn't have other rules than this.
The channel should also link here in topic/entrymsg/URL.

I often feel that personal channels are useless and not so good invention, but they might have some uses like commit spam or spamming some RSS feeds.
My current policy on joining them is joining channels of those people who join mine and are preferably voiced or higher, but I reserve the right to not do that or leave the channel at any time without specifying reason.

  • More about my bot here.

  • Use common sense.

  • Be nice, no phobias or *isms.
    • 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
    • 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 publicly channel.
  • Don't bring bots to the channel without asking me 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 voided 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.
