-Our operators do not sit around with in operator mode in normal channelsso you won't see @-signs in front of their names most of the time. (To preform moderation functions they request operator status from Katami or ChanServ, or just have Katami do things for them.) The operators do always have voiced status though, so most of the people with +-signs on their names are operators. A few helpful people are also automatically voiced but only have minor administrative capabilities (Amariithynar, Belxjander, Curudan, The_Shrike), and sometimes the operators get silly and randomly voice people, so it's not a guarantee.+=== Nickserv ===

-==== IRC guidelines ==== +=== RPG-Dicebot aka Dicebot ===

-    * //(In fact, Freenode is bound by UK laws to not tolerate certain kinds of hate speech.)// +

-  * Don't be a jerk. Respect other people. All other rules flow from these. +
-  * Listen to the channel mods and abide by their rulings. +
-  * Try to avoid being crude. +
-  * Avoid religious, political, or sexual conversations; or, if you do not avoid them, drop the subject when people ask. +
-  * In general don't do what others ask you not to do; though if you feel the request in unreasonable, discuss it or ask a moderator. +
-  * Please refrain from advertising, racial, sexist, or otherwise hateful or insulting comments. +
-  * If you want to ask a question, simply ask! Don't ask if there is anyone there or if you're allowed to ask! +
-  * Be patient with the answer. The channel activity comes and goes, but someone will answer when we read the question! +
-  * Don't spam/flood the channel! If you want to paste larger chunks of text please use the [[http://paste.neurohack.com/|Pastebin]]. +
-  * Don't change nicks rapidly. Remember you can set a message with /away that people can see if they /whois you if they're curious (but remember to not set your client to spam the channel when you /away, either). +
-  * Don't ask for a/s/l (age/sex/location) on the channel! This isn't a dating service. Asking people for personal information should be done respectfully if at all, and respect the other person's right to not answer. +
-  * Don't invite any bots without the permission of the channel OPs! +
-  * Don't spam bot commands. Stop if people ask you to stop. #transcendence-bots is there for your bot-spamming needs. +
