The ModMyiFone IRC code of conduct

[dale1v]

As advertised on the right hand side of the front page to this site, there is a direct link to the ModMyiFone IRC channel. Those of you who are not familiar with what IRC is, it a form of (real-time) internet chat. The ModMyiFone IRC channel offers a place for its members to socialize and ask for live help.

Our IRC channel as well as through your browser, can be accessed by PC via Mirc, Mac via Colloquy or iPhone via ColloQ.
To make IRC an enjoyable and smooth experience for everyone on it, the following rules have been laid down.

Visiting us online? Change your nickname.
The Mibbit online IRC client that is used by MMi assigns a random nickname with the prefix "mib" (example mib_67f2e). When you first enter the client, a text box is there. Use it and change your nick, preferrably to the same one you have here. If you're already inside the channel, change it by typing: /nick yournickname. Having a real nickname makes it a lot easier for everyone to keep track of conversations and each other.

Spam, Troll, Whine = ban.
IRC gives you the opportunity to talk about pretty much anything you want, but don't abuse it. Free speech does not include the discussion of warez. If you spam the channel with text (the same text over and over and over again), continuously insult others or just be a nasty troll in general, you will be banned from the channel for an amount of time equal to the seriousness of your offence. Re-offenders will be banned indefinitely.

We help those who help themselves.
The IRC is useful, but not a substitute for the vast forums. We are willing to help, but remember that the site still exists, and you still need to search for yourself. Check the site for help first. If there is something more that you need or you still can't work it out, then feel free to ask.

We're active... most of the time.
People connect to IRC from all across the globe. Some of us are sleeping, others are at work. Don't get frustrated if no-one answers straight away.

Some more info:

If there is something wrong, or you have a complaint, contact the admins (&) or operators (@), not the founder (cash).
