- Welcome to Chat-Addict IRC Network. While you are here, we ask that you abide to our policies. By doing this, you help keep a peaceful atmosphere.
- Spamming is prohibited and is described as flyby advertising, gathering information with the intent to advertise outside of the server, and flooding.
- Bots are allowed on our server provided you run only one bot and its intent is not for war. Eggdrop bots and emechs are NOT allowed. If you run a bot, you must set usermode +B (/mode +B or /umode +B). Random checks will be done. If a bot is found not set +B it will be banned. The owner risks being banned as well. Chat-Addict does NOT provide server space for bots. Chat-Addict’s channel holder service is provided to users with established traffic to their channel and who wish to keep the channel open when no users are present.
- Harassment, which includes racial slurs, sexal harassment, profanity and discrimination agains minorities, is not allowed in any way, shape or form. Most users on this server prefer to allow permission prior to receiving private messages. Private messaging without permission and continuing to do so after being asked to stop is harassment.
- Pornography, sex, warez, hacking and cracking tools, and copyrighted material may not be transmitted through our server. Also, no fileservers will be permitted on our network.
- Proxies, spoofing, bouncing, and the use of shells to access our server is prohibited.
- Users found infected with a virus of any kind will be removed for their protection and the protection of the internet at large.
- Since we can only regulate our own server in a network,we do not wish to link with other servers or join other networks, no matter how many users you can bring or how much work you can provide for us.
- Matters within a channel are to be handled by the channel operators. Server moderators do not handle channel matters unless it involves server policy violations. Server moderators also do not handle the internal affairs of a channel and will not lift bans set by the channel operators.
- Server moderators on this server are volunteers. Quality support is NOT guaranteed, but is encouraged. We choose our server moderators based on what we know about them through the experience with them in chat, not through what you say you can do and who you say you are. Do NOT attempt to help users on matters which should be handled by a server moderator.
- Based on the previously mentioned rules, the server moderators on Chat-Addict have the right to deny access to any user who refuses to agree to these rules. By joining our server and chatting on it, you agree to these rules. By breaking any one or more of these rules you ask for yourself to be removed. This server is a privately owned server which enforces its policies.
- If you have a question about any one or more of these rules, submit a ticket to our Helpdesk. If you submit a ticket about a ban or other reason you cannot access the server, be sure to copy and paste the error message from your client to the email so that we may better serve you. Please also be sure to include your host-name, IP address, and ISP name. Depending on the circumstances at the time, a reply may not be immediate.
