CryptIRC Sample Channel Policy

Last revised 30 April 2008

This policy supplements the CryptIRC network policy available at http://policy.cryptirc.net/network/. Your use of CryptIRC and its channels constitutes your agreement to all applicable policies. Should you not wish to be bound by such policies, your sole remedy shall be to immediately discontinue use of CryptIRC.

KICKS

• Channel operators may kick users for any reason.

TEMPORARY BANS

• Users are to turn off auto-rejoin. Failure to do so will result in a five-minute tempban. If the user has not turned off auto-rejoin once the tempban is lifted, the user will be banned from the channel for twenty-four hours.
• The following will result in a warning kick followed by a fifteen-day tempban should the user fail to rectify the problem:
• Posting more than five consecutive lines of text in less than thirty seconds
• Automatic announcement scripts
• Rapid nick or handle changes
• Excessively disruptive behavior
• Linking to any material which could reasonably considered "not safe for work" and failing to warn users beforehand

PERMANENT BANS

• Any user who evades a tempban shall have the ban extended to ninety days from the original date of the ban. Should the user evade the ban again during this period, the user will be banned from the channel permanently.
• The following will result in a permanent ban from the channel without warning:
• Posting or linking to confidential or personal information ("dropping docs")
• Linking to any site which forcibly takes over a user's web browser

ABUSE

• If users believe a channel operator is abusing his/her power or is not following this channel policy, users are encouraged to contact the channel founder or an IRCop and lodge a formal complaint.
