Ignorantia Juris Neminem Excusat
Channel Conduct |
Key to your presence in the Valhalla Legends home channel, "Clan
[vL]", is the understanding that you are there by the grace of the
members. The channel is hosted for the members; any others are present
solely because there has been no compelling reason to remove them.
That said, a few guidelines are in order for things which you should
avoid doing if you wish to continue to reside in the Valhalla Legends
clan channel.
- No visible anti-idles. If you must use an anti-idle, make it
a silent one such as /users, /time, or /who.
- No clients idle for an extended period of time. Members have
been known to ban idle clients on a whim. If you do it once and
nothing happens, count yourself lucky. It may not happen again.
- Do not visit our channel with an account other people can use.
If we discover an account is shared, we will add it to ban list.
- The same goes for you if your bot allows others to control it
directly, indirectly, through telnet, or any other interface.
Your account name will be added to ban list if we discover this
is happening.
- No spamming. This includes automatic announcements of what song
you are playing.
- No begging. As an absolute best case, begging will get you banned
until the next time the channel ban list is cleared. This includes
begging for:
- CD keys
- Proxies
- Bots
- Wins
- Favors (the gifted among you will note that this is a catch-all
for anything not named above)
- Asking for technical support
- for a product made by a [vL] member: you may get assistance,
or you may be ignored. Your chances are slightly better if
you're asking the person who made the product.
- for a product made by someone else: you'll probably get
told to go away
- Coming into the channel and asking the whereabouts of a [vL]
member not presently in channel. We do not keep tabs on other
members. If you want to find someone, ask that person directly
(hint: /whisper).
- Asking about the release date of a product created by a [vL]
member. That member may or may not have a set release date. More
than likely, the other members will not be tracking such things.
This means that if you absolutely cannot wait, go find the author
and ask him or her.
- Accept that there is a dual standard. Members can get away with
doing these things; you cannot. Trying to justify doing something
by pointing out that a member did so will not help your case,
even if the member did in fact do such.

Reasons You May
Get Banned |
- Disrespecting the members or clan.
- Violating any of the above mentioned items.
- Interrupting a member discussion, without having something vital
to contribute to said discussion. Of course, 'vital' is judged
by those you're interrupting, so think carefully before you speak.
- Interfering during an interview of a prospective member. Be
silent during candidate chats.
- Stupidity, as judged by the member who decided to ban you.
- Your client automatically rejoins when kicked.
- You looked like it'd be fun to ban you.

What To Do If You
Get Banned |
Live with it; whining will usually make
things worse. Bringing your grievance to the forum is considered whining.
Members of Valhalla Legends have complete discretion with respect
to how they treat non-members.
Do not bother asking why you were banned. If there's a reason and
you didn't pick up on it, telling you won't do any good. If there's
no reason, which is perfectly OK, there's nothing to tell.
|
What NOT To Do If
You Get Banned |
Try to get around the ban, i.e. changing
IPs and coming back in just to show how "l33t" you can be.
This will only get you shitlisted.
