• Make sure there are at least 3 opped users in your channel!
• All channels must follow the Quakenet rules
• No Q, S or other Eggdrops, only L is allowed.
• You are allowed to have a CW/Live-bot or mIRC bot
• Check our website, topic & help before asking any questions!

When you got a bot:

• Do not ban / deop / kick the bot. That will get your bot removed and your userlist will be lost
• Do not just add all the users joining the channel as ops or voices as the chances of takeovers increases drastically if you have unknown users added. If you want the bot to voice all users, use !autovoice on, instead of adding each user
• Consult our homepage/guides for help on commands before you go to #Stream-Help for help
• When the channel for some reason is being closed or not used anymore, please type /msg botnick leavechan #channel reason

#StreamBots channel rules:

• Read the topic!
• Because the channel mode +m (moderated) is always set on #StreamBots, you can't write to the channel
• Do not send private messages to the channel operators/vioces unless they have given you permission!
• Be patient, the admins might be busy!
• In general support should be obtained from #Stream-Help, not #StreamBots
• Idling is allowed in condition of that it doesn't interfere with the purpose and work in #StreamBots
• Read the topic again :)

Please be patient and respect the admins for their work, they do it for free - And for you.

#Stream-Help channel rules

• Idling is allowed in condition of that it is not interfering with the purpose and work in #Nordic-Help.
• Repeating and flooding are not allowed except if given permission from a helper or admin.
• Any harassment, fighting and foul language in #Stream-Help is ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN and is subject to immediate kick/ban by any channel operator!
• Begging, commercializing, asking to join channels to fill them (to get Q or other bot) and using any MP3 or warez script is forbidden.
• Abusing any #Stream-Help service is strictly forbidden.
• Distribution of warez, asking for warez or warez distribution sites is strictly forbidden and will result in a permanent ban without warning. If this is broken more than once, it will be reported to the QuakeNet operators.
• Excessive use of CAPITAL LETTERS, colours, bold and channel-wide NOTICE's or CTCP's are forbidden.
• Do not send private messages to the channel operators/voices unless they give permission.

Please be patient and respect the admins and helpers for their work, they do it for free - And for you!

QuakeNet network rules: (SHOULD BE UPDATED TO REFLECT QUAKENET'S NEWEST RULES!)

#1. Open Proxies Scan
Proxy Probe	All clients are scanned upon connection for open proxies. That means that the service tries to connect to the user's computer, and if successful, try to connect back to QuakeNet, through the proxy. If successful with that, the user gets a temporary ban from QuakeNet. It is up to the user to secure his or her computer. Read more about Open Proxies here.
#2. Reasons for banning from the network
	Reasons for banning and/or disconnections from QuakeNet include, but are not limited to, the following:
Flooding	This means pinging, sending large amounts of text, joining and parting channels rapidly, repeatedly versioning command and similar behaviour.
Illegal Material	This includes, but is not limited to; Illegal copies of software, distribution of MP3 files, movies (VCD/DivX), ie; any copyrighted material where the copyright is not owned by the user.
Pornography	QuakeNet is intended to be a multiplayer gaming network, therefore you are not allowed to trade, sell, buy or deal in any other way with sexual/pornographic material on QuakeNet.
Clones	If you need to run more than five clients on your connection (LAN Party, bots etc), you need to contact an administrator/oper (or mail info@quakenet.org) before you connect, or your clients will get glined. Note, that shell providers are REQUIRED to run identd before trusts for running over 5 clients will be granted. Also note, that with the exception of very short time events, for example weekend lan parties, trusts will not be granted to dynamic ip addresses.
Takeovers	Taking over a channel will result in a network ban.
Racism & Nazism	Propagating racism or nazism, or distribution of racist material will result in a network ban.
Spamming & Advertising	Massive spamming and/or advertising (ie. promoting your website, product, whatever) in channels is forbidden.
Hacking	Any attempts to hack the network or other users, will result in a network ban and a report to the ISP of the user in question.
Multiplayer cheats	Spreading multiplayer cheats is not allowed. Channels dedicated to this will be closed.
Other	An IRC Operator may ban a user without warning should the IRC oper feel it is necessary.
#3. Bots
Channel Protect Bots	Channel protectbots (eggdrop bots etc.) are allowed, as long as they are used according to the rules under #2. QuakeNet does not offer help to configure your bots, or provide a server for the users to run a bot from! If you can't configure a bot, don't run a bot!
Other Bots	Floodbots, Clonebots etc. are forbidden and will result in a network ban.
#4. IRC Operators
	The staff of the network are called IRC Operators or Administrators. They are different from other users in that they have more power than the ordinary user. They are on the network to be of assistance with various matters, placing the channel service in channels, answer questions etc. There are however, some points that need to be pointed out:
#Feds QuakeNet IRC Operator Channel	IRC Operators of QuakeNet are volunteers. They do not get paid for their work. Most of the IRC Operators have ordinary work to attend to at day and/or night time, families etc. The IRC Operators of QuakeNet are NOT required or obligated to help users at any time. Sometimes, this means that it will take some time to get help in #feds. Please be patient, and if you don't get any help from an IRC Operator, please come back later. If you don't require help from an IRC Operator, try to join #help, as they are qualified to help out in the most cases, and answer a lot of questions. Please note that #feds is not a "How do I do this and that" question channel. This channel is for reporting abuse, network questions, advanced Q questions etc. Questions not regarding these issues, will be ignored. Please see #feds channel rules for rules about this channel.
#help QuakeNet Help Channel	The staff of #help do not get paid for their work. Like the IRC Operators, helpers have jobs, families, etc. to attend to. Therefore, it might take some time to get help in their channel as well. Please be patient, and if you don't get any help from the #help staff, please come back later.
Becoming an IRC Operator	Becoming an IRC operator requires not only a strong working knowledge of IRC and this IRC network, but also a working relationship with hub admins and other opers. Opers are selected when there is a need, and never given based on who is asking for it.
#5. Nicknames
	QuakeNet does not use Nickserv to reserve nicknames. As a result of this, you cannot register your nickname on QuakeNet. If a nickname is available, any user is allowed to use it. However, this does NOT apply to the nicknames of IRC Operators, Helpers and Network services, due to security related issues. If a user uses any of these nicknames, an operator may immediately disconnect the user from the network WITHOUT prior notice.
#6. Q (QuakeNet Channel Service)
Requesting Q	If you want Q to your channel, read the GUIDE. And please follow ALL the directions in the guide, or your request will most likely be rejected.
Q Commands	Please see http://www.quakenet.org/qfaq
Q Questions	If you have general questions, and can't find the answer in the Q FAQ, join #help
Q Exceptions	Q will not be granted to freeop or freevoice channels of any kind. When found, Q will be immediately suspended from these channels.

Please respect the StreamBots & the QuakeNet rules.
