Channel Guidelines
#BBW-Texas is an open
channel, which means most things you might get kicked for in
other channels do not apply in ours. While we are very tolerant,
we do have a few guidelines for the good of all. We want all of
our users to have the best experience possible. Because
of the nature of our chat, you must be 18 years of age or above to
participate. First,
please understand that IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is not a
democracy. It is up to the ops in each channel to decide how the
channel is run and who stays or goes. So, above all else, if an
op says to stop your behavior, you should stop. =)
You may be
warned/kicked/banned for:
1. Fat-bashing and/or racial
slurs.
2. Illegal sex channels.
We do not allow our users to be in illegal sex channels while in ours.
These channels involve sex with children and child porn, incest, rape, murder, and/or animal
sex. All others are allowed. If you wish to frequent those channels,
please leave them while chatting in #BBW-Texas.
3. Personal
attacks. Our users (especially BBWs) do not come in to our channel to
endure abuse and rude behavior towards them, even if you feel it is a
joke. If you have a problem with someone, feel free to privately message
them, but do not attack someone in channel. It is up to the discretion of
the ops to determine when someone is joking and when it is not welcomed.
Non-compliance with this rule will not be tolerated.
4. Flooding the channel by pasting
text or flooding by pasting private messages. It will be deemed a flood if it involves more
than 5 lines. Most users don't really care to see what you are chatting
about in private.
5. Pop-up abuse.
Pop-ups are allowed. However, abusing the use of them with large pop-ups or several pop-ups in a row can hinder and sometimes even halt channel chat.
Pop-ups
should be no more than 5 lines long. We are
also not a pop-up testing channel - please create your own channel to test
your pop-ups.
A note on Ban
evasion:
A ban is placed for a reason, and is essentially a time-out for breaking the
guidelines. Letting
you back in is up to the op that placed the ban. Deal with the op that banned you,
and don't expect ops you may consider "friends" to unban you - ops
know not to remove bans placed by others. If you evade a ban, a new, more severe ban will be
placed for a longer duration. Take your time-out like an adult, and learn
from it.
We do not kick/ban for
private messages. If you are being harassed in private message, please use
the /ignore command to ignore that user. Things that happen in open
channel are issues for the entire channel and that is what we are concerned with
and will handle. Private messages are not open channel issues.
If you have questions regarding
these guidelines, please message an op in channel and they will answer your
questions or point you towards someone who can. Your feedback is important
to us!
