CG

  • #Africa is English Preferred language channel. If you feel it's necessary, you can speak another language in Private Messages or on another channel. No exceptions.
  • Do NOT message or query the Operators at ANY time. If you need their assistance, please for help in the main channel window.
  • Keep your language clean, it is possible that there are young people in the channel, or reading over an adults shoulder.
  • This is a family channel. Absolutely no obscene or offensive Nicknames.
  • No Flooding or Spamming the channel.
  • No advertising other IRC channels or Auto Invites.
  • No Auto greets on channel join or exit.
  • Do not use all CAPS when posting a message. Using all CAPS in chat or even in e-mail is considered yelling and it is very rude.
  • Use your best judgment, be pleasant and polite. Avoid being rude and obnoxious.
  • Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated. Do not harass chatters based on their culture, religious beliefs, or gender.
  • No asking for Ops or for Voice. Just don't do it.

All chatters are required to use common sense and good judgment, if you do not, you could find yourself gagged, kicked or banned from the channel. Think twice, type once. Banning is at the sole discretion of the Ops.

The Channel owner asks that all Ops use their best judgment and requires them to be patient and diplomatic. In the event you are treated unfairly, well, you will know that you acted like a decent human.

How to become Op?
If you spend a good amount of time as a responsible member of #Africa, have a good participation record, and show good IRC technical ability you may be invited to be a Channel Operator by the Channel Owner. If you ask an Op or ask in the main room for Ops, it will never happen. Channel Operator's are invited, period. We repeat, DO NOT ASK FOR OPS it is a waste of your time and our Ops time

WARNING! No one should ever ask you for your password, EVER. DALnet operators nor channel operators will ever ask for it. If someone has asked you for your password they are likely bad people, robots, or drones, DO NOT GIVE YOUR PASSWORD TO ANYONE no matter how official they may sound! More about Ops policy click here
