# '''Be courteous of other users''' | # '''Be courteous of other users''' | ||
##Do not use the channel to harass other users, whether through insults, spam, or just in general being annoying. If a user asks you to stop doing something, ''stop it immediately'', and then you can discuss the situation with them. | |||
##Do not post spoilers to material that hasn't been available for at least a month. | |||
# '''Have consideration for younger users''' | # '''Have consideration for younger users''' | ||
##This means that you should not use swearwords, speak about inappropriate topics, or post NSFW links. This rule is ''not'' to "keep from offending delicate sensibilities''. A large portion of our users are minors, and there is a distinct likelihood that their parents could ban them from the wiki or IRC for viewing inappropriate material. | |||
##The bot, NumberXVMoogle, has a cussword-detecting function that will report most violations to an op (see [[Kingdom Hearts Wiki:IRC/Words not to use|here]] for a list). ''THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT'S OKAY AS LONG AS THE BOT DOESN'T REPORT YOU.'' If you think a word might be inappropriate, ''don't use it''. | |||
# '''Do not sockpuppet''' | # '''Do not sockpuppet''' | ||
##It is acceptable, for the purpose of socialization, to play with your name. However, it is ''not'' acceptable to do so for the sake of deception, such as trying to evade a ban or impersonate another user. ''Any sockpuppeting will result in an immediate kick.'' | |||
##It is preferred that you use your Wikia username on the IRC, though this is not a requirement. | |||
# '''Do not spam''' | # '''Do not spam''' | ||
##Don't throw a wall of meaningless text on the page, and don't keep posting if others have told you they don't care. The IRC is a ''chat'', not a graffiti wall. | |||
##Although the bot is a tool to play with, it is still considered spam if you abuse it after being asked to stop. | |||
##Please use English. It is considered spam to purposefully use languages or styles of typing that are difficult to understand, such as 133t sp33k or text abbreviations. | |||
##Do not abuse the /me command, such as for role-play. It is considered spam. | |||

The standard procedure for dealing with repeated violations is: | |||
#Warn the user, identifying the rule that they have broken. | |||
#Tell the user that they have recieved their final warning. | |||
#Kick the user from the channel. | |||
#Ban the user from the channel. Bans usually start at one day, then progress to three days, one week, and then a permanent ban. | |||
More serious cases may require more immediately harsh punishments. | |||
For problem violators, it may be wise to keep a log of any diciplinary measures already taken, so that the violator doesn't just keep getting warnings from different ops. Permanently-banned users should also be listed, so that other ops can know if the user is trying to evade their ban. | For problem violators, it may be wise to keep a log of any diciplinary measures already taken, so that the violator doesn't just keep getting warnings from different ops.
