| − |
| |
| − | ==Existing Rules==
| |
| − | * Use common sense and treat others as you wish to be treated. No flaming, trolling, or personal attacks; if you must, take it to PM please.
| |
| − | * Do not flood the channel; if it's more than 3 lines, please use a pastebin.
| |
| − | * #vtluug is for newcomers and experts alike. Please be helpful and friendly to everyone or don't say anything at all.
| |
| − | * Please do not announce /away in the channel (or change your status to indicate such).
| |
| − | * In the unlikely event that you are banned, do not attempt to evade your ban. Ban evasion will be dealt with strictly and will result in extension of your ban.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Proposed Rules==
| |
| − | * Off topic conversation cannot distract from on topic talk.
| |
| − | ** Proposed: move non-linux/computing/food to #vtluug-social, but people will only idle in #vtluug-social if this is done
| |
| − | ** Define: distract - people are not always getting noticed when asking for help, but some people read the backlog to fix this.
| |
| − | ** Make a Wadsworth help module?
| |
| − | ** "Primary purpose is not help" -- Telnoratti
| |
| − | ** Not confined to #vtluug, other channels either don't deal with the problem or have a notice on their site telling people to
| |
| − | ** Voice does not indicate knowledge of linux or familiarity with other members
| |
| − | *** Solution: remove autovoicing?
| |
| − | *** Removing autovoicing does not solve anything
| |
| − | *** Solution: Remove "ping people with voice by their names..." from topic and wiki
| |
| − | ** Keep #cs-lounge and #vtluug separate
| |
| − | ** Add irssi/weechat highlighting scripts to "help:" or "does anyone know"
| |
| − | ** Not an issue if people get drowned out, because we aren't a help channel
| |
| − | ** Add join message telling people to stay in the channel for a while before people are available to help them, also put this on wiki / website.
| |
| − | ** Add IRC tutorial to wiki (and maybe join message)
| |
| − | ** Join message can link to IRC page
| |
| − | * Use common sense and treat others as you wish to be treated. No flaming or personal attacks; if you must, take it to PM please.
| |
| − | ** Agreed
| |
| − | ** Enforce more
| |
| − | ** All racist slurs, sexist remarks, and name calling are prohibited
| |
| − | ** Tell people when they're being condescending (outside of channel), would like to control, but most cases are misunderstandings
| |
| − | ** Do not consider profane language in this remark, only things specifically designed to be offensive
| |
| − | * #vtluug is for newcomers and experts alike. Please be helpful and friendly to everyone or don't say anything at all.
| |
| − | ** "Improving computing skills of members ... and serving the community..."
| |
| − | * Nicks should be SFW; discriminatory language is prohibited.
| |
| − | ** Nicks are not channel specific, should not be enforcing things separate from what OFTC policy dictates
| |
| − | ** Causes problems if other channels have nick restrictions
| |
| − | ** Do not change nick when away
| |
| − | ** People can't change their nick in a certain channel
| |
| − | ** Solution: kill rule, just don't nick when away
| |
| − | * Do not flood the channel; if it's more than 3 lines, please use a pastebin (http://linxb.in/).
| |
| − | ** change to "if your message is more than 3 lines", e.g. when posting logs/code, otherwise posting three lines in a row is OK
| |
| − | * Do not spam the channel.
| |
| − | ** literaling truncatedcone which interrupts channel -> people in the channel should tell the person to change to PM
| |
| − | ** kill
| |
| − | ** Truncatedcone
| |
| − | *** Lots of complaints
| |
| − | *** part of channel
| |
| − | *** shut up option, /ignore
| |
| − | *** Increase throttling (if possible)
| |
| − | *** Solution: use him responsibly, increase throttling if possible
| |
| − | *** Trial period earlier to eliminate him, failed
| |
| − | *** No interrupting conversations with excessive singing in channel with truncatedcone
| |
| − | * In the unlikely event that you are banned, do not attempt to evade your ban. Ban evasion will be dealt with strictly and will result in extension of your ban
| |
| − | ** Only there because it's standard, but apparently [[User:mutantmonkey|mutantmonkey]] needs to be explicit for it becuase of [[User:btreecat|btreecat]]
