What
is a Regular anyway?
#25+friends regulars share a whole bunch
of
qualities. Here are a few of the important
and nice ones:
-
Regulars are friendly
to one and all and often answer questions and help newbies.

here.
-
Regulars often have
web pages, and spam the URLs frequently (grin) This is actually
encouraged.
-
Regulars don't invite
people to other channels while in #25+friends. This is
considered pretty rude to do, so don't do it. To remember some
other old time manors or just old times, check out this
Remember When? page.
-
Regulars don't use
language or actions that might be offensive to people in the chan
that they do not know. #25+friends has a well-deserved reputation
for being a friendly channel. It also,
however, is a channel full of intelligent and fun-loving people that enjoy a
certain amount of smart ass behavior... not to say anyone is
nasty, we just like to have fun and laugh. Regulars know that,
and understand it, but don't unleash it on unsuspecting newbies
without warning.

Regulars that have an
interest in having their picture included on the pictures page of
this website are

-
Some Regulars are
often auto-voiced or OP'd by one of our BOTS or someone's script. These regulars have either
been around forever, or they are just great ambassadors of the
#25+friends philosophy. They didn't beg for this status, they simply
earned it the old-fashioned way.

Regulars use
abbreviations a lot. You can learn a bunch of them by clicking

Some
Channel Don'ts
(Stuff you can get kicked for doing repeatedly)
-
Private
Messaging
Do NOT join the channel for the first time and private message
anyone within a few seconds just to say "hi" - that is not
private and nobody wants or needs a private discussion with a perfect
stranger. Try to get to know people in the group setting before
you assume they have something private to say to you.
-
A/S/L
Similarly, do NOT join the channel and demand or
even ask nicely a/s/l - why do you need the asl of perfect
strangers? Isn't it a bit rude not to spend a few minutes
getting to know people before you jump to the conclusion that you need
their asl?
-
Challenging
Authority
Do NOT argue with OP decisions - they are not made lightly
and they are not negotiable. All of our OPs have years of
experience and they are good and fair. If I catch myself being
unfair, I have actually traced people down and gone to say I'm sorry -
so don't think even momentary lapses in fairness go unchecked.
