Hi Kate, where were these new rules posted, it might be a good idea to post a link to the offical new rule list. If you fail to do so it might appear to some people that you are trying to lay down the law. I am careful not to become the self appinted judge and jury of WP.

These rules seem fair and reasonable. Here are my thoughts on these rules, please understand I am not a MOD or a spokesperson for WP.

OK, so no typing **** ¤%&/ !"#¤!



Well I think it is best if discussion of people's sex lives is confined to the adult issues section. I do not want you to read about what goes on between my wife and me, and to be blunt I would rather not have lurid details of what other members have been doing in their spare time plastered over the whole site.



Good point, this is a good rule not just for WP but for life in general



Good point, this is a good rule not just for WP but for life in general. I think racist insults are not good. Anyone who makes them is a lesser person than those who do not make such comments.



Good idea !



Freedom of speech extends to those who think and express ideas which we do not like.



Threats are nasty.



Good idea, think before you post.



Good point, stalking and harassment are corrosive to the WP community neither should be tolerated.



Please no spam, I do not want offers of viagra, get rich quick schemes or junk bonds.



OK, if you fail to obey the rules then maybe you can get banned. But I think it is better to try to reform those who err.



Fair point



Good point, Bullying could poison the common air on the wrong planet so it must not be allowed.



That sounds like a form of bullying, so it must not be allowed.

I hope that the rules are good. If tere are any rules that I should add or change please let me know. I need some help in forming them rules.
Thankyou

Wait, so they haven't been posted anywhere?

I think you are soliticing opinion on a proposal to new WP rules, is that correct? That is, these aren't actually new rules.

what's the irc channel

I am soliticing opinion on a proposal to new WP rules, that is correct. I think these rules would be a big help to WP.

What is wrong with the existing rules?
All of this is covered under that.

All of these things are currently channel rules.

Right along with "don't take your drama to the IRCops. It's not their problem and they aren't your babysitter".

Kassiane,
channel op

That means that I dont have to worry about making up wrongplanet rules. One less thing for me to worry about.

since no one bothered to address this, and since, last time I checked, I was the only one who kept the rules up, or did much at all reguarding them, here are the rules as they stood (at least when I was pretty much running the channel)

Perhaps we should just stay with what works, and no one has a complaint about(other then the trolls)
------------------------------

The purpose of #wrongplanet is to provide a place for those on the autism spectrum, as well as family members, friends, partners, etc. of people on the spectrum to meet online. This channel is both a support channel and a social channel. We want to maintain an environment where users feel comfortable and welcome. We expect you to cooperate and control your own behavior according to these guidelines:

* Use of this channel is a privilege, not a right, and may be revoked at any time

* Treat the other users with respect
o no disruptive behavior (such as "flooding" multiple lines of text in a short period of time, etc.)
o no personal attacks or insults, even if another user insults you first. "They started it" is not a valid excuse.
o Do not deliberately pester or annoy users or ops. Respect their requests to stop offending behavior.
o if you have a problem with another user, put the user on ignore and/or bring it to the attention of an op. Retaliation will not be tolerated.

* Keep the topics and language appropriate for all ages
o we have users of all ages here, and anyone could be reading
o explicit sexual discussion is NEVER appropriate
o avoid strong (offensive) language. If you are not sure whether something could be offensive, play it safe and find a different way of saying it.
o controversial topics, such as religion and politics, are allowed ONLY as long as the discussion remains polite. Discussions that turn into arguments or attacks will be ended.

* What happens in #wrongplanet stays in #wrongplanet
o respect the privacy of other users by not publishing logs of conversations from #wrongplanet or private messages in other IRC channels, forums, etc.
o keep in mind that this channel is open to everyone, and we cannot guarantee the privacy of anything you say in the channel. If you want to say something privately, use a private message
o leave issues from other channels outside of #wrongplanet

* This is an international channel
o the channel language is English. If you want to have conversations in other languages, please use private messages.
o we have users from all over the world, and many of them are not native speakers of English.
o try to use standard English as much as possible so that everyone can understand what you are saying. Avoid AOL-speak, 1337-speak, shorthand, country or region-specific slang, etc.

I actually think them rules are better then mine.

So... I'm confused...

Why was this thread started?

because she forgot what the rules are (yes, she is an op, and no, this is not the first time)

Thankyou for the chatroom rules Bateau. I put them in my notes so that next time I wont forget them. I have a ton full of notes though.

She's not an op right now.

It's mighty hard to op while k-lined.
