MuggleNet is not responsible for any harm caused (stalking, etc) by
the distribution of personal information. Therefore, it is
recommended to not distribute this information at all.
Language
Swearing in the MuggleNet operated rooms is not permitted. Swearing
guidelines permit the use of the less offensive words (in
moderation, and only when needed,) while specific, highly offensive
words will not be permitted and can result in a temporary or
permanent ban.
Flooding/Spamming
Flooding is the overuse of any phrase, letter, word, symbol or
action of any sort that disrupts the chat, the network, or any of
its users. Continued flooding can be considered network
disruption.
The use of CAPITALS ("caps") is strongly discouraged as it causes
disruption to the normal flow of the chat and is considered
shouting. The occasional use of capitals will not result in
sanction, but continued and excessive use will result in action
being taken against you.
The use of excessive characters is also strongly discouraged and
may result in action being taken against you (i.e. kick and/or
channel ban.)
The use of mass unsolicited invitations is not allowed in this
chat.
Harrassment
Harassment or abuse of any user, including moderators,
administrators, any other staff, and services provided by the chat,
including nickname registration, is prohibited. You may be kicked
and/or banned from the chat depending on the severity.
Abuse
If you feel that you were banned in error from the server or from a
MuggleNet public channel, please write to the
andrew@staff.mugglenet.com. Please state when you were banned and
why you were banned.
