Sucks?  It has to be one of the most diverse channels on IRC to date.

True, we don't always just talk about the IIgs, but do we have to?

: House Rules:

: Anyone and everyone is welcome, but bad behavior will cause a ban.
: Mike Horwath has already been banned due to extremely poor conduct on
: #AppleIIgs. (Note to Belgorath: All root accounts on Winternet systems
: have been banned. Log in as belgo.)

Whoa, this is sweet.

Banning me cause you are an IDIOT?  Come on.

And on top of all of this, I am root on the Winternet systems, not
Belgorath.  Funny.  You show your brains on this one pal.

And my conduct?  Those that actually know me know me to be very helpful
with many topics and I am not a bad person.

Now, you, ya idiot, are stupid.  To put it bluntly, you are flamebait.
We tried to help you many a time online, but you don't listen and must
always treat us like you know it all.

Please, create your channel, it won't last and it won't bring on the
caliber of people that #AppleIIgs has always had, people not locked into
their little lives, but people who know something about life.  We are
good people with alot of patience and knowledge, if you just would open
your mind and listen.

: 1. Do not ask for ops. I am the only op on the channel.

Bah, gotta love a tyranny.

: 2. No profanity, sexual references, or racist comments. Violators will
: be first warned, then kicked, then banned. Period. And I am doing this
: thru screen with a scrollback, so don't think you can swear just 'cause
: I'm marked as away.

Rolf, you must be a virgin or something as henous.  Cure your disease and
get out of your computer life for a bit.  Women don't bite ya know.

: 3. No teasing newbies. Violators will be warned, then kicked, then
: banned.

What?  Every aspect of life teases newbies, we are not doing something out
of the ordinary here.

: 4. No software piracy. This never was a problem on #AppleIIgs, and I
: don't want it to become one for #Apple2GS, so I'm saying this now.
: Basically, if it's not shareware or freeware, I don't want to see it
: on IRC. This does not cover discontinued products, but everything else
: is aggressively enforced. Violators will be kicked and banned faster
: than you can say "warez." Also, no illegal disassemblies. This means
: you, Dr. Tom! I will not hesitate to put a ban on *1WSW*@*Calon.com.

Hmm..  I have to agree with you here though.

: 5. No Flooding. Flood and get banned. Period.

Hmm..  pot calling the kettle black?  You have flooded us more than once
and I am sure you will do it again.

: 6. No Unauthorized Bots. Bots will be kicked. Bots that continue to
: return will be banned. For authorization, please e-mail me. Running
: floodbots will result in your entire domain getting K-lined.

Tell me this, what is an authorized bot?  Again, tyranny at its worst.

And since you are just a lowly user, not an admin or IRC op, it is pretty
hard to get something K-lined on IRC, either EFNet, Undernet or Overnet.
