USER RULES

The IRC is an adventure, just waiting to happen.  We at StarLink want your stay
with us to be pleasant and rewarding.  Here are a few rules which will help
accomplish this goal.  Let common courtesy and sense be your guide and you will
have no difficulties.

1.  Please be courteous to your fellow users at all times.  Harassment, flooding
and stalking are not permitted on Starlink.  If someone is being annoying, please
use the /ignore nick command.



2.  Spamming and advertising is not permitted.  Users may not use StarLink to
promote individual channels or any other advertising.  It is OK to tell these
people to stop.



3.  Opening or joining a sex channel is prohibited.  Pornographic and explicit
activities are not permitted.  These channels will be closed down by StarLink
personnel.

exchange of copyrighted material will be closed down by StarLink personnel.



5.  Running more than three clients (clones) from the same hostmask is not
permitted.



6.  Well-behaved bots are welcome on some StarLink servers as long as they serve
their purpose in their individual channels and do not impact other channels or
the StarLink system. Please refer to the each server's motd for exact rules on
bots.



7.  Please, no clonebots or flood scripts.
