Rules governing IRCOPerators
The rules are reasonably flexible from the IRCOP perspective,
and IRCOPs are encouraged to use reasonable judgement in exercising
what powers they have to maintain the network for the good of the
network. IRCOPs are not a replacement for a judiciary or police
force but do represent the owners of the network and as such are
primary points of contact for terms of use as set down by the network
owners.
- Appointment of new IRCOPerators and Network Administrators
must be voted on unanimously in #Services by all other IRC operators.
- Inclusion of new network daemons must be voted on unanimously
by all network administrators in #Services and by majority of
IRC operators.
- IRCOPerators must only use KLINE and GLINE/AKILL for a network
related infraction or an abuse of Terms and Conditions of service
which cannot be handled any other way.
- IRCOPerators must never abuse channel modes where they do not
have channel operator privaledges assigned to them by the channel
owner unless owner is in violation of the Terms and Conditions
of service.
- IRCOperators must not force upon users mandatory nickname changes,
enforced channel joins or join private channels without a valid
network reason to do so.
- IRCOperators can only act unilaterally if they log all their
actions on #services and there is a valid network reason to have
done so. IRCOperators are encouraged to discuss with other IRCOperators
before proceeding unless time is of an issue.
- IRCOperators can only log other channels or otherwise diminish
the privacy of network users if there is a formal allegation to
investigate. The log must be open to inspection by the other IRCOperators
and must be deleted as soon as the information is determined useless
(by majority vote).
- IRCOperators must join #Services for the duration of their connection,
communication is the key to a smoothly operating system.
- IRCOperators abusing powers. For first abuse a warning will
be issued by another IRCOperator, for subsequent abuse the situation
will be discussed and voted on in #Services in the presence of
the alleged abuser. A simple majority vote is required to suspend
an IRCOPerators privaledges. The rule Innocent until proven guilty
is operational throughout proceedings.
- For handling user infractions of Terms and Conditions of service,
see the guidelines in Section 2 of the users' rules, remember
to be fair and not let personal prejudice influence your decisions.
