J-Body IRC Administrators and Operators believe everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion.  However, we must draw a line between freedom of speech and just plain rudeness.  Therefore we are providing a list of examples to help channel members realize when their actions have crossed the line.

Examples of Harassment as defined by the J-Body IRC Administrators:

Name calling in channel or in private message after being asked to stop by the person and/or a channel operator.

Mass messaging to channel members

Flooding a channel member in message

Hacking, nuking, smurfing, or any other method of attempting to interfere with another user's online connection.

Constant rude remarks in channel concerning another channel member whether the recipient of the remark or remarks is currently in channel or not.

Messaging other users and attempting to besmirch the character of another user.  This also applies if the conduct occurs in the channel.

This list serves only as a guideline to actions which can be considered harassment and which will warrant a temporary or permanent ban from the channel.  As always this list can change without notice.  Enforcement and interpretation of the  channel rules is at the discretion of the channel operators
