Channel
Rules
Yes,
it is no fun, but every channel has
its own rules, and we are no exception.
Please
adhere to these, so everyone can have
an enjoyable time in our channel.
Ask
questions once. Be complete and concise.
Be polite. Listen. Above all, be nice.
Please
use English here - s'okay if not well.
Do not use 31337sp33k, and please
do not YELL!
No
colors, no blinking, italics or bold.
We've given you warning - a kick is
foretold.
No colors in the channel
This includes bold, underline and
background colors, and especially
BLINK (this has not been made blinking
on request of some operators, but
click here to experience the annoyance
of blinking text).
They
are too distracting and annoying.
No profanity
#Cservice
is a family
channel. Show respect to other chatters.
No parroting.Do not repeat yourself
over and over again.
We
all can read, and when someone knows
and is willing to help you, he will
help you.
When
you do not get an answer, that simply
means no-one knows, or those who know
simply do not have the time, or are
not in the mood to help. We are all
volunteers!
No private messages
Do not send any private messages to
anyone (/msg **** useless waffle).
That
is considered rude, and it is annoying
when everyone sends private messages
to a channel operator.
Think
about it: So Many operators, and users
in the channel who message them privately.
You
do not want that to happen to yourself
either, do you?
When
an operator thinks the situation needs
private, he will take you into private.
Besides,
when you ask in public, you have more
chance of being replied to, and more
people can help you.
This
also includes /query ****
No scripts
Do not run scripts in our channel.
This includes !seen and !ping scripts
and on-join invitations or messages.
Our
channel bot has a seen command, you
can /msg Cservice seen $nick to inquire
from the bot if she has seen the nick.
No channel-wide CTCP requests
This includes ping requests. They
are considered annoying and rude.
Also,
if you feel the need to know what
IRC client someone is using, ask...do
not /ctcp version the user.
