- Sexist, homophobic, racist, transphobic, ableist, sexist or otherwise offensive remarks are not allowed. (Swearing is allowed, but never targeting another user, and never in a hateful or sexually explicit manner.)
- Remarks that make any of the ops go “Hm, that’s inappropriate”, whether on the above list or not: also not allowed.
- You get a warning.
- If the warning is not taken seriously, you might get a second sterner warning in PM, if you’re lucky, and the op is feeling generous, and this is the first time. But don’t count on that.
- If the warning is unheeded, you get kicked.
- If you come back and continue to make trouble, you get banned.
- If you contact the offended party, and are truly apologetic, and it was the first offense, and the op who banned you feels it’s appropriate, then you may get un-banned.
- If an op bans you, I’m definitely not going to unban you unless they agree it’s a good idea.
- If an op bans someone, and you think it was unjustified, take it up with that op, or with a different op, in private. Griping about bans in-channel is not tolerated, and will result in more bans.
- Ops are expected to be paragons of virtue. If an op creates an inappropriate situation, they should expect much less leeway than standard users.
- Your free speech is not our problem. We recognize that this policy is a restrictive political stance. That is the intent. If you want a room with different rules, go create one.
