Last updated: July 20th, 2010

  1. Connections
    1. A single user may not have more than THREE connections to this network, at any one time. This rule applies even if the clients are from different hostmasks.
    2. A session limit exception can be made for certain establishments, such as universities, public/private schools, public libraries, etc. These exceptions will be set by NFNet staff once the exception has been evaluated to be needed.
  2. Conduct Rules
    1. Show respect to all users/IRCops connected to the network.
    2. Do not abuse network services.
    3. Harassment, as determined by administrators, of users and/or IRC operators is not permitted.
    4. The following activities may be considered harassment:
      1. Excessive cursing/swearing.
      2. Messaging of unwarranted indecent content to users and/or channels.
      3. Excessive flooding of channel and/or user (via Personal Message), no matter the content.
      4. Excessive saying of a user's Nick in one or more channels (combined amounts).
      5. Impersonation of another user (similar nick or even same nick).
  3. Advisable Conduct
    1. Keep profane language and offensive content to a minimum.
    2. Listen to ChanOps on considerations of proper conduct (it's their channel, thus their discretion).
    3. Conduct yourself in a respectable, kind, and generous manner.
  4. Bots
    1. No harmful scripts or bots are permitted. This includes any and all botnets.
    2. All bots must be allowed by the owner/ChanOps of a channel, otherwise the bot is considered uninvited and could be banned.
