About the IRC
The IRC was created as a way to keep the community of this wiki together in a more dynamic way than forums, as well as providing means to immediate warning of admins in case of on-going vandalism or other issues.
Besides the integration of the community, the IRC is also the place where conferences are held between staff members.
The use of the IRC is allowed to anyone at anytime, even users without registrations. But keep in mind that IP and other identifiers still are logged and can be blocked from the system if vandalism or stupidness is perpertraded.
Rules
- Don't be stupid. You will never be asked to be "nice," and personal attacks are unpreventable. But don't go out of your way to irritate others. Vicious abuse is grounds for sanctions.
- No whining. Users who ask for something from another IRC user and are refused it should not stoop to complaining, which is grounds for sanctions. It is acceptable to be persistent, but in a mature manner.
- Real-world politics and/or religion may only be discussed with unanimous consent. If someone doesn't want to talk about them, drop the subject.
- Assassin's Wiki IRC's official language: English. We don't care if it's British or American, as long as it's not "L33t" or "TXT." Abbreviations are fine, but keep it within reason.
- No spamming. The meaning should be obvious. Don't say the same thing six times because no one is responding to you. Don't keep pushing a subject nobody cares about.
When admins are around, then there is an official presence to consult and there are people enforcing the rules.
The standard sanctions for dealing with violators of IRC policies are as follows:
- Warning. Directed at the violator by an operator.
- Kicking. Should only occur when policy violations, spamming, trolling, and similar transgressions are sufficiently obvious and continuous that all operators agree.
- Channel mute. All users are voiced except the violator, allowing said violator to grow frustrated and quit on his or her own.
- Kickbanning. When all else fails. Anyone with more brains than a ant will never get to this point.
