[Updated: 01/09/2005]

The following will not be tolerated:

  1. Personal attacks on the channel.  These include excessive name calling, rumours about people’s personal lives, and coercion of others into persecution.
  2. Flooding.  This includes excessive typing of music lyrics (especially when other users in the channel are actively chatting), and senseless, repetitive floods.
  3. Use of excessive Caps Lock.
  4. Encrypted chat, including binary / octal / hexadecimal encoding, and anything else that isn’t comprehensible to the entire channel.
  5. Slander.  This falls under personal attacks, but really deserves a separate rule.
  6. Users requesting contraband (eg. drugs, pirated music / software) in the channel.
  7. Generally offensive nicknames.
  8. Ban evasion. This will result in an automatic akick, for a period nominated by the SOP putting the akick in place.
  9. Excessive/repeated trolling. Failure to maintain overall good fellowship/camaraderie, and/or if you are consistently unpleasant to other #cairnscentral chatters.

Moderation Procedure:

If any of the rules outlined above are broken, the normal steps to be taken by an op are:

  1. Private message the offender, with a warning regarding the rule he / she has broken, with a request not to break the rule again (this step doesn’t apply to repeat offenders, however).
  2. Impose a short kick / ban on the offender (30 minutes recommended), summarizing the reason for the ban in the kick message.
  3. Impose a longer kick / ban on the offender (24 hours recommended), summarizing the reason for the ban, and the fact that it is a reoffence, in the kick message.
  4. Request that an Akick be imposed on the offender.

Op Rules:

  1. Ops will not ban for petty / personal reasons.  They may ban in the case of personal attacks however.
  2. When an op bans, only that op, or sops, may unban without consultation.   Ops wishing to lift a ban must obtain consent from 2 other neutral ops before they may.
  3. Ops repeatedly breaking these rules may be removed from the Aop list.
