not stop people from doing this, But we are only thinking of your own
safety.
Give out your e-mail or MSN
address etc, Proceed at your own risk. We encourage you to be cautious.
The
Do Not's - Netiquette
Important!! Don't ever accept
files or dcc/chats from anyone you don't know. Tempting sounding filenames
can often be malicious trojans, carrying a bad virus which could effectively
destroy the contents on your computer.
Don't ever give out personal information about yourself, such as your
Real Name, City, Phone Number, School, E-Mail Address. BAD people use
IRC too, don't fall prey to trouble that happens when others know too
much about you.
Don't speak in CAPS - IT'S LIKE SHOUTING (!!!), most channels prefer
the soft tones.
Don't Flood - which is sending too much information to the channel at
once. Flooding is generally considered to be 4+ lines at once and most
channel operator will remove you from their channel if you flood.
Advertising - Most channels do not want their channel as a place for
others to advertise websites, businesses, or other chat channels/networks...
This is commonly known as Spamming.
Repeating.....Repeating.....Repeating.....Repeating..... It is likely
a channel operator will remove you from their channel if you often repeat.
If a channel has rules, please do not ignore them -- show respect by
reading and following them. IRCops will not interfere with channel owners
and their operator's decisions, as well as their channel rules -- so,
you'll have a more pleasant experience chatting when you treat others
as you would have them treat you.
