Infamous List of Seven Words



Due to harrassing and offensive topics in public channels on NEW-Enterprises IRC Network, directed both at specific users and staff, and multiple complaints about the same subjects by multiple users, the Staff and Admins of NEW-Enterprises IRC network decided to restrict the use of the list of words below in the topics of public channels.

Please note that NEW-Enterprises IRC Network staff does not want to be in the role of censors, but to protect our users from harrassments in the form of unacceptable topics we used as a guidline a list of words that are censored from public media.

Use of these words in a public channels topic will result in a Staff member requesting that the topic be either changed or the channel be set to private (+p) or secret (+s). Refusal to do so will result in a Services Admin or designated staff member reviewing the situation with ramifications up to and including suspension of the channel or the channel being dropped and forbidden.

So, folks lets use some common sense, and when you set your topic ask yourself this: Would you want your child, mother, father, wife, husband, sister, brother, friend to see the topic? Is it being set with the intent to hurt or harrass users or staff?   If it is then it's probably best left in private, discuss it in your channel, discuss it in emails with your friends, but it won't be appropriate in Public Channel Topics.  Please help to keep NEW-Enterprises IRC network a fun and safe place to chat and have fun.
 

Thank you,

NEW-Enterprises Server Admins and Staff
 


The List of Seven Words:

 Conditional use: "I'm pissed off" is allowable, "I laughed so hard I  pissed my pants" admittably funny and allowable,     "nick *whatever* piss *whatever* is not allowed.  (It's all in the way the word is used).

Cunt

 Not allowed in any public topic.

*Cock*

 Not allowed in any public topic.  (Exception: "I love my cockerspaniel"  Again it's in the way it's used that will make it's use unacceptable).
