| #QuiltCampus
Help |
| Policies |
 |
Be
kind to all the other chatters in the channel. |
| |
Be
respectful of all the other chatters in the
channel. |
| |
Do
not chat with sounds or popups unless you
know the op on duty does not mind. |
| |
NEVER
advertise or solicit about another chat channel
or IRC network. |
| |
NEVER
use the chat channel to advertise or solicit
a business. |
| |
We
do not advertize love quilts or charity events. |
| |
We
do not use the channel for handouts. Please
do not ask others to send you items. |
| |
This
is a channel for all ages and swearing is
not allowed. Keep it clean for younger ears. |
| |
Discriminating
is not allowed. QuiltCampus is for all races,
sexes, ages, religious practices, or sexual
preferences. |
| |
We
do not discuss religious subjects or politics. |
| |
Do
not have a mask (whois info) or nickname that
uses offensive words and/or content. |
| |
This
is not a place to pick up women. Don't even
try. |
| |
Lurking
is not allowed. If you come into the channel,
you must chat with us. |
|
| Etiquette |
|
Typing
in capital letters is the same as shouting
in chat. You don't shout at strangers, so
lets not shout in chat. |
| |
Do
not private message some one till you know
it is OK to do so with them. |
| |
Refrain
from flooding the channel with lots of lines
at once. It makes the channel scroll to fast
for some folks to keep up. |
| |
Do
not try to take over the conversation. Join
in and go with the flow. |
|
| Safety |
|
Do
not visit any website URL you see in the channel,
unless you know the nick that posted it. |
| |
It
is best not to post your e-mail address in
a chat channel. Discourage other chatters
from giving theirs. You never know who is
out there. Keep it private with people you
know. |
| |
NEVER
give out any personal information. This includes
your address, telephone number etc. |
| |
Remember
people online may not be who they say they
are. Anyone with access to the Internet can
enter #QuiltCampus. |
| |
If
you meet someone in #QuiltCampus and plan
to meet them in person, we suggest you do
so in a public place, shopping mall, restaurant,
zoo or quilt show. |
