Overview
The Odamex IRC (Internet Relay Chat) channel provides a place where users can discuss various aspects of Odamex, for example
- Construction of wiki articles.
- Site suggestions.
- Anything else that is relevant (things such as bugs belong in Bugs)
General Rules
For any basic service provided by anyone, some rules must be followed, and these are some for the IRC channel:
- Be courteous, polite and respectful of other users
- Spamming will not be tolerated, such as posting huge loads of text into the channel, doing this fills up logs and wastes disk space, we have a pastebin for that.
- Racism, hate, threats and harassment will not be tolerated.
- Venting on something, a lot of this happens, please, do it somewhere else.
- The following discussion are definitely not allowed:
- Discussions about "X is better than Odamex" or vice-versa that degrade to mindless babble are not tolerated.
- Discussions about (selling) drugs
- trading/linking warez and/or warez sites
- linking porn sites (including pay sites) and/or disturbing/disgusting images (eg rotten.com)
- Beastiality, rape, incest and pedophilia.
- Discussing outright volatile hacks and exploitable cheats. There are better avenues for that sort of stuff that'll help instead of hurt.
These rules will be enforced, so please be aware.
Consequences
As a general follow-up to rules, some consequences must be put in place if one breaks the rules. Here is a small list of what consequences exist, which will be put in order upon breach of the rules:
