1/Using the network, sanctions against users - Using our servers is a privilege, not a right. IRC operators may remove users from the network - temporary or permanent - with or without a reason.
- Sanctions against users include kills (forced disconnects), G-Lines (server bans) and AuthServ account suspension or remove it completly
- Sanctions against channels include the removal of chanserv from a channel - temporary or permanent - and the administrative shutdown of a channel
2/Problems with users
- You are expected to treat the staff and other users of WebGamesNet with respect. If you feel another user is harassing you, /ignore or ban that user. If the /ignore (or ban) is reasonably chosen and the user acts to evade the ban and continue the harassment, contact WebGamesNet staff in #help.
- If you are harrassed in a channel and you are not a channel operator, ask one of them to ban the user. If no operator is active, you can just /part the channel.
- If you are still harrassed after that, you can report the user in #help.
- You may not use WebGamesNet services to send hate speech. Hate speech includes, but is not limited to, speech which demeans groups of people that is meant to insult or inflame.
3/Bans
- Ban evasion is prohibited.
- If a user evades a valid ban, please ask him to stop evading.
- If he continues, contact #help.
- NB: Bans on a nickname (nickname!*@*) are not considered as valid bans. We will not deal with users evading such a banmask.
4/Illegal material, hate speech etc.
- It is strictly forbidden to distribute any illegal material (e.g. mp3, warez, serialz, crackz), porn, racism, or other prohibited things on WebGamesNet.
- You may not use WebGamesNet services to infringe upon any party's copyrights or other legal rights, or to violate any other laws.

5/Viruses, Worms etc. - Infected users will be banned from our servers for 1 hour to remove the virus, if they are not active and willing to remove the virus.

- You are only allowed to advertise in other people's channels if you have the owner's permission or if you are on the channel's userlist. This also applies for links to "thievery games".
- Advertising or giveaways at a certain idler level are strictly prohibited.

7/Bots
- Bots are usually allowed.
- Idlerbots, which are just used to increase the user count of a channel, will be banned (G-Lined) if we detect them.
- Bots which are online only for irritating people, notice/query spam or HL spam, are forbidden in official Channels. If we detect them the owner's bot will be warn, if the owner don't disable his Bot. It will GLINED and owner could get consequences.
8/Clones
- Our services allow 4 simultaneous connections from a single ip.
- If you have more than 4 connections, you will be automatically G-Lined for 1 hour, which means all your connections will be cut and you won't be able to reconnect until the G-Line expired.
- If you need more connections, e.g. for useful bots or bouncers, ask in #Projects for a "Trust".
Note: Nicknames of staff may be protected. That means if you use one of these nicks, your nick might be forcibly changed by an IRC Operator.
IRC operators will interpret this rules if there is ambiguity as to how it applies to your situation.
