I'd like to propose amending this to make it so that behavior on the SmashWiki IRC counts as SmashWiki behavior; i.e., PAs and other ban-worthy behavior there affect a user's status on the wiki itself.  [[User:Miles.oppenheimer|<font color="forestgreen"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;">'''Miles''']] <font color="lime">([[User talk:Miles.oppenheimer|<font color="lime">talk]])</font></font></span></font> 20:39, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

==Anon's ruleset proposal==
Bump. I am changing this to an official proposal. Should IRC Guidlines be changed to official rules? After a discussion [http://mibpaste.com/RnL1Ny here], I discovered that the current regulations are technically guidelines and therefore not strict rules.

#If a moderator chooses to end a discussion, their decision is final. Any problems with a Moderator's judgement should be discussed with them privately.
#If multiple users find your behavior irritating - for example, imitating a user - then a moderator has the right to ask you to stop. Ignoring them can lead to future warnings.
#Mods essentially must follow similar guidelines to [[SW:ADMIN]]. In other words, no using moderator powers for personal reasons, no excessive joke kicks/bans, etc. If a user has a concern with a way the moderator is acting, they should bring it up with them in a polite, private manner. If a user has a concern about a rule violation that occured when a mod was not around, they should keep a log of it and report it.
====Guidelines====
All current guidelines (that have not been turned into rules) still apply here.

==If I may take a moment and just say==
a) You guys take this too seriously seeing as there's less than fifteen people that have used this thing more than once, and only about ten different people voted.  As opposed to the browser poll got like >50 votes. :O.<br>
c) The two rulesets are too similar except to the point where Tyrant gave more rules out of other, less minor concerns. So are more rules > less rules?<br>
∆) OT, with your ruleset, the topics wouldn't be fun anymore O_O.<br>

:A) People complain about lack of ruleset, and I do not agree with Anon's ruleset, so I created my own. I believe mine is superior enough to where I will argue as needed. A ruleset is also something to not be taken lightly.
:B) My ruleset forbids specific actions, where Anon's just throws on a lazy blanket rule that can punish innocent users while letting guilty users go away innocent, as well as having arbitrary means of enforcement.
:C) Topic rule only bans moderators from using the topic to advertise/promote something of theirs or a friend's. Topics can still be senseless crap they usually are. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 17:13, 20 July 2011 (EDT)

I don't think the word "unintentionally" is needed; you might as well use that word on every rule. Additionally, what's intentional and what's not can be very unclear and hard to determine at times. <sup>Smiddle&nbsp;</sup>[[User:Smiddle|君怒る]][[user talk:Smiddle|?]] 17:41, 1 August 2011 (EDT)
:Intentionally is there, as there is the distinct possibility of someone accidentally linking to such a site, such as someone's copy and paste not working properly, where they went to link another site, and instead accidentally linked a porn site and pressed enter before they noticed. For determining if it was intentional or not, simply if someone was to link accidentally, they would surely immediately apologise or something of the sort. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 17:50, 1 August 2011 (EDT)
