· ZFGC Chat Room Rules

Welcome to the Zelda Fan Game Central chat room.
New! Please visit our new chat tutorial for more info!
Please note that staff members can ban you if you do not follow these rules. You should read them carefully.

The chatroom is run by a team of owners (~), administrators (&), operators (@), half-operators (%), and voices (+).
Voices can't kick, but they help keep the room clean by reporting any misbehavior. Ops and h-ops can kick you and ban you, and also set a few channel modes. Admins are ops who cant get kicked, and they can also change status levels. Owners are the most powerful, and they can do anything from kicking you to banning you from the server. Not good to piss any one of these off.

The owner of this chat is cppchriscpp. His say is final. Anyone causing issues with him will be dealt with severely.
Rules
Prologue: These rules are posted at YOUR leisure. Should you opt not to read them before you chat, YOU will be held responsible. We do not accept "I didn't know about that rule" as an excuse.

Member Rules

                ---------------------

Last update: 11/11/07

1. Follow the network rules.
    This should be obvious to most of you, but just in case it is not, you must
    follow the network rules. Type /rules when you are connected if you do not
    know what these are.

2. Do not SPAM the channel.
    We define SPAMming as abuse of colors, repeatedly posting pointless things,
    and posting things with no real meaning.

3. Do not flame anyone
    Flaming is defined as verbally attacking someone with harsh, unnecessary
    words. Flaming is not acceptable under any circumstances. Flaming people
    for their beliefs is completely unacceptable, and falls under the rule
    below.

4. No discrimination against anyone. Period.
    Discrimination against anyone in ZFGC is heavily frowned upon, and will
    not be accepted in the channel. Whether or not something is discriminatory
    is left up to the staff in the channel.

5. Bots are allowed with an op's permission.
    You are allowed to bring a bot into the chatroom, granted you recieve
    authorization from an op first. To be allowed in a bot must not be
    spammy, and should have some actual use. Note that permission for a
    bot may be revoked at any time for any reason. Zelda-Bot and Weatherbot
    both have permission to be in the channel permanently.

6. Mature discussions/debates are allowed.
    Flame wars are not allowed, however. There is a very clear difference
    between having a mature conversation on something and blasting people's
    beliefs for no obvious reason. The ops will have the final say on when
    a discussion has gone too far.

7. Any op's word is final.
    If you have a problem with the actions of an op, please take it to either
    an administrator (&) or the channel owner. (~) Do NOT beg other ops to
    remove your ban if you feel it is unjust. An op's kick is not unjust
    simply because it is for a reason not stated in these rules, and you
    should not use this rationale to try to get your ban removed. If you
    attempt to do this, then your ban may be extended rather than removed!

8. Use common sense.
    If something does not seem right to do in the channel, don't do it!
    These rules do not state everything you could do to get yourself
    kicked or banned from the channel. If you do something unwise not
    listed in these rules, expect to recieve punishment. As the rule
    above states, an op's word is final. If you wish to dispute an op's
    decision, talk to an admin or the channel owner.

9. Have fun!
    This channel was really meant for fun more than anything else. These
    rules are not meant to restrict the fun you'll have in the channel,
    so please try to have a good time, and make sure that others are able
    to have a good time as well.

-- Please contact cppchriscpp about any issues with these rules.

Staff Rules
1.) Enforce the rules. This is why you have your position.

2.) Follow the rules yourself. IF you break them, you will be fired.

3.) Work together with the other ops to better operate the channel.

4.) Stay flexible when it comes to punishments. Let the situation decide on what you should do. Warnings are recommended, but always be flexible and do what you think is right. Don't keep someone banned permanently for a minor offense, but don't keep someone banned for only a minute for a major one.


Remember now, if you feel like disobeying any of these rules, then you'll be punshed. Not very fun.
