Code of Conduct for everyone connected to Sundiver IRC

  • You will not evade bans (including but not limited to channel bans and /ignore masks).
  • You will not place bots on the network without seeking prior approval (see Bot Policy).
  • You will not break clone limits (excessive connections from the one host) without prior written approval.
  • You will not engage in denial of service attacks on users or network infrastructure. These include repetitive invites and flooding via CTCP/DCC.
  • You will not engage in acts that attempt to violate others' privacy, or spread any malicious links or content. This includes, but is not limited to, IRC client exploits, web browser exploits (including history stealing), malware, viruses, and trojans whether by sending links, CTCP messages or DCCing files. If you receive any malicious links or content, please report them to a Sundiver IRC Network administrator or staff.
  • You will not attempt to gain unauthorized access or disrupt the normal operation of the servers or connecting client machines.
  • You will not conduct/engage in illegal activity which includes but is not limited to: distributing or advertising (via in channel comments or the use of QUIT/LEAVE messages) the distribution of copyrighted materials (excluding copyrights which you own or have distribution rights), procuring minors for sexual acts, conspiring to commit high treason and/or terrorism, inciting hate crimes or racism.
  • You will not harass any user or administrator via the Sundiver IRC Network. Harassment can be described as:
    • A course of vexatious comment or conduct that is known or ought reasonably to be known to be unwelcome.
    • The repeated diminishing of one person by another in ways which are intended to undermine their self-confidence or lower their self-esteem.
    • Unwelcome or offensive behavior by one person to another.
    • The act of tormenting by continued persistent attacks and criticism.
    • Unsolicited words, gestures, and actions which tend to annoy, alarm and abuse another person.
    Since the act of harassment can be subjective, should harassment accusations be brought to the attention of Sundiver IRC Network adminis then the final judgment on whether such activity is defined as harassment will be left to the IRCOP dealing with the matter. Users should explore the use of /ignore, the assistance of the channel operators and other client based filtering methods before asking for further assistance from staff. Assistance for how to use these tools can be received in #help.
  • You will not use open proxy services to connect to Sundiver IRC Network.

  • You will not allow bots under your control to break any of these rules.

Operators of sites that contain multiple users are responsible for the actions of any users connected though their systems. To avoid site-wide bans of your site, please ensure that a method is available to distinguish individual users from your system (including but not limited to proper IDENT daemons and/or individual IP addresses on a per user basis). This information should be communicated to a Sundiver IRC Network admin along with a suitable contact e-mail address in the event of abuse issues arising.
