irc channel rules mirror!

The purpose of these rules is to make #goffgrrldreaming a safe haven for all users, and to maintain that safety at all times. The channel is open to those who by their very nature are outside the realms of social experience and "rules" and thus these rules tend to be fluid as they are added to or altered according to what we as a channel learn when things go wrong, or indeed when things go right. Channel Ops and users are asked to view the rules in this spirit.</p>

  1. Never, ever piss off the chan founder.

  2. The channel founder & SOps reserve the right to remove users from #goffgrrldreaming without warning if the deem it necessary.

  3. We all have bad days when we hate the world. If you're feeling like your temper is short and you can't interact civilly, please take a break from the channel and return when you can.

  4. Do not PM (private message) channel users without permission. This is considered rude by our users. PMing the founder or SOPs if you have a problem is fine.

  5. All members of plural systems are welcome in the channel, but we ask that members of such systems let us know what system they're a member of when asked and where possible link nicknames. this is both to prevent confusion and to keep in line with the channel policy of opping plural systems as a whole, not opping individual members to the exclusion of others.

  6. Tread gently around people's triggers - many of us have experienced various forms of trauma in our lives, and are particularly sensitive to certain words, phrases, or topics. If asked to back off because someone is being triggered, do so immediately. Jokes about such topics as sexual abuse, self harm, suicide, etc. are not acceptable at any time. This applies even in cases where a user is asking for help. if you are told you are being too graphic, respect that. It is also important to note that no one in the channel is a trained professional, there is only so much we can do. Beyond that, we will advise you to seek irl/professional help. This is not because we do not care, it is because we do care and have no wish to see you in a position where you are at risk.

  7. Do not demand personal information of other users. Everyone has the right to privacy &/or anonymity. As far as members of this channel are concerned, ASL is american sign language, so do not ask. If you want to get to know us, hang around, get involved, and get to know us that way.

  8. Members who are in D/s or M/s relationships are welcome to be open about that (collars, etc. are perfectly acceptable) however, the use of #goffgrrldreaming as an arena for punishment or humiliation of a sub or slave will NOT be accepted. This applies even if the sub/slave does not feel humiliated. The intent of the act (punishment/humiliation) negates the spirit of #goffgrrldreaming as a safe haven, and will not be accepted.

  9. All members are to be treated with respect. Speak politely to everyone no matter what their status.

  10. Personal problems are to be kept that way. Keep your relationship issues in pm NOT in #goffgrrldreaming.

  11. No mentions of #sangunarius or associated groups is permitted in #goffgrrldreaming. #sang is considered by the ops to be a toxic, negative place & advertising it in any way will not be permitted.

  12. On all counts the ops word is final. In cases of op disagreement, the higher ranked op must be obeyed. Any complaints about the ops must be made to the channel founder & must be supported by logs.
