==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]]
