Bump. I am changing this to an official proposal. Should IRC Guidlines be changed to official rules? After a discussion [http://mibpaste.com/RnL1Ny here], I discovered that the current regulations are technically guidelines and therefore not strict rules.

:Problem, what are in the guidelines are written to be guidelines, and not written in ways to be rules. Example, how could '''"Many users idle on the IRC - that is, while they are connected, they aren't actively paying attention. Do not expect an immediate reply to a query."''' be a rule? You will need a proposal of actual rules instead of just changing the guidelines we have now to rules. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 13:12, 13 July 2011 (EDT)

::Good point, but things like that only need to be slightly changed. Here is what an actual ruleset would resemble (note that this is more of a sketch then a final rulesheet).
#No Personal attacks. It is fine to point out mistakes in other users' conduct, but keep discussion civil. IRC behavior also counts towards wiki records so be warned.
#No spamming. Spamming clogs up the channel and interupts legitimate discussion.
#Excessive pinging is prohibited.
#If a moderator chooses to end a discussion, their decision is final. Any problems with a Moderator's judgement should be discussed with them privately.
