IRC Policy
Here are the current users rules for the IRC channel #winbolo and the IRC server irc.winbolo.us and irc.winbolo.com.
What is your feedback on the rules?
Please keep in mind two things.
1) These are ONLY the rules in which ops in #winbolo and operators can enforce by kicking/banning an individuals. They way they can enforce these rules are covered in another document - the ops policy.
2) These do NOT cover generally ethical rules regarding the game of winbolo and the rules of being a nice person. It's currently out of the scope of this page to over these ethical rules of good sportmanship. Furthermore, rules of good sportmanship is really enforced by the players themselves.
Here goes:
=========================================
Things that can get you banned/kicked from #winbolo and/or the IRC server:
* Flooding, by repeating the same line over and over, or pasting a bunch of lines to purposely cause a disruption (in example: pasting 20+ lines of text for reference when it doesn't interrupt a conversation is fine, but pasting 15 lines of text when other people are having a conversation not related to the text is NOT fine.) Operators are given some discretion to administer warnings, kicks & bans for 'gray area' flooding activity.
* Ruining games started on a bot connected to .us, which consists of the following:
1. If you did not start the game (cause it be created by the server), then wait until teams are organized and everyone is ready before actually playing. Please be Patient. (Password-ed games only)
2. If someone asks you to leave (and you did not create the map), then leave without a fuss. Many times people organize games with set players, and then start a map to play that game. The person who started the map via the gamebot on IRC gets the final decision in how big the game is and who has to leave or can stay. (Password-ed games only)
3. NO HACKS ALLOWED (any game type)
4. Do not kill (shut down) a game in which other people are still playing. (Any game type)
* Rules concerning IRC commands and the game bots:
1. Do not start an excessive amount of maps in which you do not intend to play.
2. Do not repeatedly trigger a bots trademark response (Scripts such as, nycbot’s bah or renbot’s idiot script). (more then 3 times in 30 seconds is too much)
* Using a script that causes excessive repeating of stuff. The "Bah" for sheepbot is reasonable, the "gg" script isn't.
* Nick change flood. Excessive nick changes to purposefully flood the channel. (Nick changing though, even if a lot and it doesn't flood the channel is ok)
* Ban Walking
