1. Character Usage
- 1. The use of bold isn't allowed. Some older or web based clients can't
interpret such characters correctly and will obstruct some people
from participating in the chat.
2. Reversed or underlined text isn't allowed. Same reasons as above.
- 1. Using profanity (swearing), whether directly aimed towards other
users or not, isn't allowed. This includes the use of characters to
disguise swearing, and any variations of those words.(IE. LMAO is ok
but sh*t is not) masking violations will be dealt with using individual
operators discretion.
2. Speaking any other language than English isn't allowed. This is a
multi-cultural community, and therefore we use the language the
game is written in and most users should understand.
- 1. Generally, using public scripts(Public scripts send information or text
to a channel or another client) is allowed in official channels.
However if they become spam an op will inform you and you must
turn it off.
2. Using a script with public triggers (like !seen etc.) isn't allowed. Other
users can abuse these scripts to have the one running them flood
the channel. Repeated attempts to activate any such script is not
allowed.
3. The one who runs a script is always responsible for its actions. You
can't blame your script for unwanted spam etc. This can result in a
kick or ban for both the script owner and the abuser.
4. Running on-join welcome/advertising/recruiting scripts isn't allowed
and can merit an immediate ban by a member of channel staff.
5. Using “war” scripts, or scripts that are designed to damage other
users on IRC is against network rules and channel rules and will be
dealt with appropriately. Flooding is likewise against the channel AND
network rules and will be dealt with by a member of channel staff
and/or IRCop.
- 1. Repeating text is unnecessary and therefore not allowed.
2. Extreme usage of uppercase text is considered shouting and rude,
therefore isn't allowed. Likewise, flooding the channel is annoying and
not allowed.
3. /Noticing or ctcp-ing the channel is not allowed, and will be kicked or
banned on immediately.
- 1. Pasting recruitment links or game ID's into the channel is strictly
forbidden (this is what pm's are for). In-game names and stats are
allowed IF they are your own, however this is at your own risk. If
pasting attack logs please remove the other players id's.
2. Advertising your alliance isn't allowed, nor is advertising your IRC
channel, or any other unofficial channel.
3. Using the channel to gather names to pm for recruiting, advertising or
any similar purpose isn't allowed. Likewise pasting your game link to
get people to click is not allowed.
4. No asking for resources in any official channels this includes UU, Naq,
AT and MT's.
5. Trading in any official channel is strictly forbidden. any trading will be
conducted in #tradserver channel exclusively
- 1. We expect you to act in a civilized and social manner. Attempts to
insult, hurt or offend other users won't be tolerated.
2. Racist, discriminating (or any of that kind...) jokes, remarks or
phrases are prohibited.
3. We live in a free society; opinions are therefore free to have.
However, if you feel they are insulting or offensive please talk to the
channel and/or network staff.
4. Please do not give out ANY personal information (addresses, phone
numbers etc.) in the channel - be it yours or another person's. This is
very unwise in a public channel such as this, and is not allowed for
the protection of such information.
5. Inciting others to violate any of the rules is indirectly breaking them
yourself. Also, tricking users into doing things they don't mean to do
(ie keyboard shortcuts that will close the chat window, etc) is not
allowed. This kind of sneaky behavior can lead to a kickban without
warning, and the ban can last for longer than 3 hours.
6. Be aware that aside from the channel, the entire network has rules as
well. These rules apply in all official channels.
7. Joining and parting the channel very frequently is both unnecessary
and annoying. Such “join floods” are not allowed in the channel. This
also goes for constant nick changing.
8. If you have been banned, you are breaking network and channel rules
if you purposefully evade the ban, and will be immediately re-banned
and an IRCop will be informed if this occurs.
9. Please do not impersonate Game Admins; this includes both their
direct nicknames and close approximations, as this is violating
channel and network rules. Impersonating channel staff is similarly
not appreciated and will result in a ban. Impersonating ingame people
will result in a warning, kick then ban if you persist.
10. Please do not ask for status of any sort - you will not get it. We will
approach you if we think you deserve it. Repeated status asking will
result in a kick then a ban.
11. Please do not use clones. Cloning is joining the channel with 2 clients
at the same time.
12. Sending links to browser based game sites not pertaining to Kingdom
Games is not allowed. Sending links to porn sites is a severe channel
violation and will result in a kill from an ircop. Repeatedly sending
these links can result in a gline at the ircop's discretion.
13. If you disagree with an action performed by an op, expressing it in
the channel isn't the way to go. Attempts in public, or offensive
comments, most likely will not to be taken into consideration and can
get you banned. If you feel you have been unjustly banned join #help
and it can be discussed there with someone who has network
authority.
14. Inciting behaviour or provoking ops can lead to a kick/kban. Repeated
abuse by any individual or group of persons can lead to
banning(permanent bans in extreme situations). This is up to the
operators as a team.
Network rules can be found at:
http://www.cavanacd.plus.com/network.htm
1. Using the network, sanctions against users.
- Using our servers is a privilege, not a right. IRC operators may remove users from the network temporarily or permanently
Sanctions against users include kills (forced disconnects) and G-Lines (network bans). To see if you have a gline please go HERE
- If you feel another user is harassing you, /ignore or ban that user. If the /ignore (or ban) is reasonably chosen and the user acts to evade the ban and continue the harassment, contact KingdomChat staff in #help.
If you are harassed in a channel and you are not a channel operator, ask one of them to either request the user stop or ban the user. If no operator is active, you can just /part the channel.
If you are still harassed after that, you can report the user in #help.
- Ban evasion is prohibited.
If a user evades a valid ban, please ask him to stop evading.
If he continues, contact #help.
Note: Bans on a nickname (nickname!*@*) are not considered as valid bans. We will not deal with users evading such a banmask.
- It is strictly forbidden to distribute any racism on KingdomChat
If you see such things here, please report it in #help.
- Nicknames of staff may be protected. That means if you use one of these nicks, your nick might be forcibly changed by an IRC Operator.
IRC operators will interpret this rules if there is ambiguity as to how it applies to your situation. You can see a list of IRC operators and their current status by typing /ircops
