Harrie's Hideout - Rules

This Chatroom is hosted on an IRC-Server on the AfterX-Network. For server rules please check the AfterX webpage and read the messages when you log into chat.

This room is for having fun, enjoying a good time together with friends, chat and discuss things. Whatever you bring into the room, make sure it does not keep others from enjoying their time.

Use common sense!

1 - No Underage or Pedophilia Advocacy - Legality

> No chatters under the age of consent will be allowed. (Users under 18 must leave and may return when 18) There will be no exceptions.

> Anything that appears to advocate or encourage practices with a risk of emotional or physical harm or premature sexual activity with sexually immature beings (human or animal) is forbidden. This goes for verbal descriptions as well as weblinks or nicknames.

> The use of nicknames with family status, insinuation of premature sexual activity or pedophilia (like "dadwithdaughter", ...) is not allowed.

> Incest related content or material is not welcome in this chatroom.

> No illegal material will be tolerated in chat.

Violation of this rule wil result in immediate removal from chat

2 - Personal Information

> We do not encourage people to post their own personal information (name, address, location, telephone numbers, email addresses) in public chat. If you want to share your personal information please take it to private chat or messenger.

> Disclosing personal information of other users is strictly forbidden under any circumstances. Even threatening to do so will be reason for a ban.

> The gender verification process is completely optional - if a user chooses to get verified, others will be able to find out about the gender of the verified user. Sharing of this information can be revoked by the verified user.

3 - Disruptive Behavior

> Ask in public chat before opening a private chat with anybody. Nobody likes getting flooded with private questions in private chat. Be polite and at least ask in open chat.

> No bashing or personal attacks. Leave personal history at the door, or deal with it maturely.

> What happens in here - stays in here. Do not share, post, send or in any other way disclose anything that happens in chat with anybody outide chat. That especially goes for posting on message boards or in other chat rooms.

> Use common sense - if things get heated up, try to take a step back, cool down or even take a short timeout.

> Any moderator may ask a particular person to withdraw from a discussion in the main channel, if it seems they are getting too wound up in it, or ask all users to change or drop the subject in the main channel.

> We operate a "warn then temp-ban" policy. You will generally be asked once nicely, then forcibly removed for a short period. This is not a punishment, and when your ban is up you are welcome back. It's to encourage people to chill and listen to the moderators who must manage the channel for the benefit of all users.

4 - File / Image Sharing

> The purpose of the chatroom is chatting, please keep it that way. If you want to share images, pictures, videos or other files - there are many other places and ways to do that (Email, instant messenger, filesharing sites, ...)

> Sharing links to any kind of pornographic material (pictures, videos, sites, ...) in chat is not allowed and will not be tolerated.

> Sharing of the occasional image or link is allowed, as long as it does not disrupt the chatroom. Any moderator may ask a particular person to stop sending links, and we expect participants to comply immediately.
