IRC - Dos and Don'ts

DO
  • Have fun
  • Be nice to people
  • Treat other users like human beings and not just a nick on the screen

DON'T
  • Ask for ops (operator) in a channel.
    Ops should be earned - asking for ops is seen as rude and by doing so you're less likely to be give them in the future. See this page
  • Repeat something if you don't get an answer the first time - if someone knows then they'll say. Repeating will just get you kicked out.
  • Continue asking someone for their personal details (eg email) if they do not wish to give it to you


Questions not to ask
  • "Who are you?" - Think about it, "i am me" or "i am <nick>" are the usual answers you'll get
  • "Can i have ops?"/"Can i be op?" - see above, and also this page
  • "a/s/l" (age/sex/location) - If you have to know ask it in the context of a conversation and not just one question
