*Do not excessively ping other users. If someone asks you not to ping them, and their IRC username has a clear shorthand name you can use to get their attention without pinging, you are expected to respect their wishes.

**However, if someone is using a generic username that comes up in conversation unrelated to them (such as using [[Mario]]), they'll be expected to change their name in some way if bothered by excessive pinging, rather than other users being expected to not use the name in their conversation.

*While idling and lurking are acceptable, be reasonable. Do not sit on the channel for days at a time without saying anything and not responding to queries, or a moderator may decide to kick you.
*Avoid overt and excessive sexuality, profanity, and violence on the channel. What is considered excessive is up to a moderator's discretion.

*Do not be disruptive to the channel. Being disruptive is defined here as behaving in a way that prevents conversation on the channel from happening. Two users arguing logically isn't considered disruptive, but a user insistently arguing an argument they lost in an illogical manner against the other users on the channel can be considered disruptive. Posting overly long links at any time, even when other users are not talking, is always considered disruptive. Services such as [http://tinyurl.com TinyURL] exist for a reason.
