IRC Rules

Universal Rules
These rules apply to and are enforced in all of the DSL public chat channels.
Profanity
There will be no profanity allowed in the DSL Channels. We get many kinds of people, from all over the world, of all ages in our channels, and we wish to keep the channels friendly to all users. People who continue to constantly use profanity, even after being warned by our channel operators, will be banned temporarily. Repeat offenders may be banned permanently.
Bots
There will be no user-run bots allowed in any of the DSL public chat channels. In #damnsmalllinux, only DSLinfobot (he's backup, be nice to him) will be allowed. In #dsl-chat, only DSLchatbot (under development) will be tolerated. If you place a bot in one of our channels, you will be asked to remove it. If it is not removed immediately, it will be kicked from the channel, and a ban placed on your IP address for a few hours.
Spam
We don't mind if you tell us about a great find on ebay, or the great deal you found on NewEgg, or even your awesome new whatever you posted on the net, but keep it sane. If you get annoying, you may get kicked, and if you keep doing it, you may find yourself banned. Just try to keep it reasonable. We're usually pretty laid back.
Attitudes
We try to be very laid back in the DSL channels. Lots of lighthearted chatter and discussion. If you come into one of our channels and start throwing a bad attitude around, or act rudely to other users, you may be asked to calm down. Continual abusive behavior will lead to the offending user being kicked, and if it continues, untimately banned. We have no place for rude and obnoxious people in DSL chat. Keep the attitudes under control, and it can be an enjoyable chat experience for all.
#damnsmalllinux
Once the general-purpose channel for both general discussion and technical support, #damnsmalllinux is now a tech support-only channel. Feel free to discuss issues that you need help with, make suggestions, say "thank you" or whatever, as long as it has to do with DSL. In other words, no off-topic discussion. Note that the discussion of DSL extension development does not belong in #damnsmalllinux. That, and general-purpose chat goes in #dsl-chat.
#dsl-chat
The new general-purpose room for whatever users want to talk about. Sports, politics, discussion of your new DSL extension, and all the rest of the pointless chatter that once plagued users needing help in #damnsmalllinux goes here. Discuss different distros, whatever! Have fun! Pretty much anything goes here.
