Since we operate largely on the honor system, we trust that you will
abide by our basic principles as well as take proper care of your channel.
You should, however, keep in mind that having a registered StarLink channel
is not a right but a privilege. Although what you do within your channel
is pretty much your own business (within the context of the StarLink Charter),
there are certain activities which WILL result in loss
of channel ownership privileges.
* * CHANNEL OWNERS
Only ONE Level 500 user (the registered channel owner) is permitted
on any channel. This is an administrative requirement that permits StarLink
to manage channel registration and ownership.
IMPORTANT FOR
OWNERS - To keep the LASTSEEN information current, and avoid possibly having
the channel deleted, make sure you authenticate on your channel at LEAST
once every couple of weeks. Be SURE your nick is the same as your IDnick
when you authenticate. Verify the update of LASTSEEN by typing /msg CSTAR
chaninfo #Channel.
* * AUTHENTICATION
Your password is the key to CStar access. NEVER send your password
until you are sure you are on StarLink-IRC and that CStar is online.
Remember that ANY user assuming the nick CStar will receive your password
when you send:
/msg CStar <anything>
For a secure way of sending your information use this instead:
/msg CStar@CService.StarLink-IRC.Org AUTH <channel> <userid>
<password>
* * MULTIPLE CHANNELS
Individuals may have only ONE registered channel
on StarLink-IRC.
Registration of more than one channel may result in any or all channels
registered to you being purged and/or reasssigned.
* * CHARTER COMPLIANCE
Although repeated or severe violations of StarLink guidelines will
result in the loss of your channel, only in the most extreme cases willl
it be purged without some advance notice or warning.
However, you WILL lose ownership of the channel immediately, permanently,
and without any recourse whatsoever if it is detemined that you have:
- Maliciously harassed, flooded, or otherwise abused users on any other
channel.
- Deliberately generated excessive "clones" (multiple instances
of your client).
- Provided false or misleading information to StarLink-IRC representitives
for the purpose of obtaining unauthorized control of any channel.
- Attempted to circumvent registration requirements, through:
- Giving false or misleading information for the purposes of obtaining
a registered channel.
- Misleading supporter identification (e.g. listing multiple nicks/addresses
that actually belong to only ONE individual).
- Registering (or attempting to register) more than ONE channel without
the prior permission of Channel Services.
