Please find a short list of channel rules to help everyone get along !

The rules of #Pub are simple!
No Trouts. Write something new please !
No Caps. CAPS = shouting ! We're not Deaf !
No Idling. Its a "chat" channel !!
No Repeating ! We heard it the 1st time !
No Begging. Its so sad !
No Advertising! Unless its something we need to know !
No Invites! Try chatting In #pub !
No Abusive Language ! We know what the "F" word is !
No Racist Remarks ! We want to make friends !
No offensive nicks ! No need to be a jerk !
English Only. We All want to know what is being said !
Dont Flood. The bots Don't like it !

btw don`t idle we are here to chat!!!!

**********************
Unlike many IRC channels #pub has always allowed the use of "popups".
We ask you to bear in mind that too many "popups" create "flood" and the channel Will be protected!!
In the "Event of channel flood" you may find yourself "Temp/Banned" this will also apply to "text flood" dont type too many lines on your own! The Bots are watching you have been warned! :o)))
**********************

Though we are in essence a "Family channel"!
Adults can not be expected to be forever on watch as to every word they say.
Sometimes things are typed/said on IRC and once they words appear on screen.

They "cant" be taken back. (Like an e-mail).


So it has been decided that to clarify this point that

#pub should have a "watershed" this will be 10:00pm! GMT
(As we are a UK based channel local time will be applied)

This does not give people a license to swear or cyber in #pub etc!
But a little more Adult humor or close to the bone remarks maybe made etc!

:o) So you have been warned! :o)
