%%%%%%%% Dextroverse IRC - Rules for Use %%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
---Last major update: 01.24.12
*Do not use the DVIRC in any way to sell or distribute (including sending
as a gift) any drugs (over the counter, prescription, or illicit),
drug-containing substances (such as psychoative-containing flora), and/or
any drug synthesis precursors.
This server IS NOT to be used as a conduit to transfer drugs between its
users.
*Do not discuss any supplier(s) of the following substances be they
independent or commercial. In addition, do not explicitly or implicitly
discuss the pricing of these following substances.
**Forbidden chemicals/substances/constituents/etc.:
***Illegally-obtained or manufactured scheduled drugs (a.e. MDMA, 2C-B,
Heroin, Cocaine, etc.)
***Illegal psychoactive-containing flora, fungi, etc. (a.e. marijuana,
San Pedro cacti, psilocybin-containing mushrooms, etc.)
***Any chemical which falls under the Analog Act, most notably pertains to
"research chemicals" (a.e. 2C-E, 5-MeO-DMT, JWH-019, etc.)
***Legal chemicals that are in a non-OTC form (a.e. DXM powder, other
manufacturer-direct chemicals, etc.)
**Note that in using the word illegal, this is referring to both United
States of America federal law and/or any state laws. A prime example of
this would be salvia - the first day that salvia was illegalized in whatever
state, so too would it become forbidden to discuss its pricing or sources.
*Do not use DVIRC to chat about torrents, warez, or any other file transfer
which exists predominantly to share copyrighted material. There are tons of
IRC channels on other networks for this type of discussion.
*Do not flood the server, network, users, operators, or channels; do not
otherwise attempt to disrupt normal server or user operation.
*Do not spam users or channels. This will be enforced by both the channel
(automatically) and the staff (manually).
*Do not harass users or operators.
**Threatening physical violence, evading an ignore command set by
another user, and excessively mentioning/flaming/bringing up another
user with no just cause are all considered forms of harassment.
**Engaging in harassment based on sex, appearance, lifestyle choice(s),
sexual orientation, personal handicaps, and/or ethnicity are all discouraged
and may warrant disciplinary action if deemed necessary by any staff member(s).
**When concerning harassment, any IRC logs (including private message logs)
may be used against you without your consent of their release.
**Repeatedly talking to another user or operator in query after they have
made their desire for you to leave them alone clear is not permitted.
**Ultimately, the definition of harassment is up to the operators'
collective judgment and is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
*Do not attempt to gain unauthorized network, server, or channel privileges.
*Do not evade a ban issued for you. If you have a question about your ban,
make a post in the Talk to the IRC Staff forum, or private message an admin,
at the DV forums, located at: http://dextroverse.org/forums/index.php
**Each evasion will incur additional time added to the original ban.
*Do not link to any site which contains images, video, or any other media
of a pornographic nature in our main channel, #dextroverse. This IRC server
is accessible to those under the age of majority and thus we ask that users
not share links to sites displaying nudity, sexual acts, etc.
**While members are permitted to share links leading to personal photos,
the rule regarding nudity applies to these as well. Topless females do fall
under the category of nudity. Additionally, in the case that clarification
is necessary, any individual who identifies as female will be treated as
female and thus, the sharing of topless photos of said individual(s) will
not be permitted in the main channel, #dextroverse.
*Do not discuss, encourage, or threaten any suicidal ideations, behavior,
or actions of any kind.
**Violation of this rule may lead to very severe consequences and repeat
offenders may quickly find themselves with incredibly lengthy
(and if necessary, permanant) server bans.
*Do not encourage drug dosages, combinations, and/or any experimentation
which could be reliably considered unsafe. Please remember that this server
is centered around the concept of "harm reduction". While encouraging
drug use is not prohibited, all users who choose to do so are expected to
not encourage anything which has a more-than-significant chance of harming
the individual who is receiving said 'encouragement'.
*Do not include more than a single "drug tag" in your nickname (a.k.a. user handle).
*Do not include tags in your nickname which imply or directly reference
multiple drugs/combinations.
*Do not include the amount or dosage of any substance(s) in your nickname.
**Examples of legal and illegal "tagged" nicknames:
***Example: DexFiend is now known as DexFiend|DXM. <-- *Legal*
***Example2: DexFiend is now known as DexFiend|DXM|Ketamine <-- *Illegal*
***Example3: DexFiend is now known as DexFiend|354mgDXM <-- *Illegal*
What we expect of you:
*We expect each user to have one, and no more than one, connection to the server
at any given time.
**If you you choose to use both a land and mobile connection,
please exit one connection before establishing another, when possible.
**If there are multiple users using a single IP address, we do allow up to three
connections per IP address.
**There is a hard limit of three connections per IP set on the server.
*We expect you to connect from the same, or similar, IP or host range.
**We actively check for users connecting via socks, tor, and other proxying
mechanisms and remove and ban users we find utilizing these services.
**If you legitimately connect to DVIRC from several isps, make sure to
add them to your nickserv access list to avoid confusion.
**If you are concerned with privacy, there are many commercial providers of
IRC shell accounts that can bounce your irc session via a server to mask
your entire IP address.
*We expect these server rules to be enforced within all channels but otherwise
leave channel rules to be defined by the channel founder and operators thereof.
**The server admins and operators are not interested in channel disputes that
do not involve server rules.
What you should expect of our use of your information :
*This server logs the IP address and nickname of each user when they connect.
**This server portscans these IP addresses to check for open proxies and also
checks these IP addresses against various blacklists of known abusive IP
addresses.
*This information may be retained for a period of at least nine (9) months to assist
the operators in identifying ban evasion and/or other types of abusive behavior.
*This information will never be shared with any entity outside the DVIRC staff.
*The server hides the full real hostname and IP address of users via user
mode +x (which is enabled by default).
**Operators are required to see the real hostname and IP address of any user
for use in setting server bans.
**Information such as a user's email, name, and others are not hidden by default.
This can be adjusted through NickServ. Type: /msg NickServ help set hide
for help.
*All passwords are encrypted and cannot be read by any operator or admin.
*All private messages are also encrypted and cannot be read by any operator or admin.
*You are entitled to the reasoning and length of any ban set on your and/or your
connection. This can be obtained by making a post in the Talk to the IRC Staff
forum at the DV forums, located at: http://dextroverse.org/forums/index.php
Please note :
These rules are subject to change without notice and the DVIRC staff
retains the right to disconnect and/or ban (temporarily or permenantly) any
user for actions other than those explicitly specified under the rules.
