The establishment of new servers and intra-domain linking should + be a local toplevel domain (IE: country) decision. + + Guidelines: + + + Only a link for ONE server should be given to the new + server site, that means the new site shouldn't be able to + connect test-servers to other than its own server. + (This avoids confusion about linking hierachy). + + + If a toplevel domain hostmask link is given, ensure that all + hubs of that domain have connect access to the masked server + (this should avoid disagreements between hub admins within a + domain). + +2.) Hacked or cracked servers (and the machines they run on) are the + concern of all Admins, and override all local interests. + + Guidelines: + + + In a server with non-standard source code which breaks + the current irc protocol (especially the incorrect + manipulation of channel modes and user/hostname authen- + tication) Admins will take action, this includes the + testing of these patches. + + + The recommended action is permanent withdrawl of the + server from the IRC-net by removal from all its uplinks + configuration files. + +3.) The Admins are responsible for all operator access. + IRC Administrators should therefore be approved by the + machine and network admins for the site in question. + +4.) Operator power may be used only on server and network + maintenance purposes. KILL may be used only when other + methods to fix a problem don't exist. + +Infringement of the rules as outlined above should lead to +operator and/or admin changes on the offending server. +Responsibility for these changes is primarily that of the uplink +server administrators. + +In the event of continued transgression, further action may be +taken by remote IRC Administrators 24 hours after the problem +has been identified and all responsible parties have been +notified. + +All intended additions to this document must be announced to IRC +Administrators for at least one week prior to ratification. + +-- +Edited June 29th by #EU-Opers -- cgit v1.2.3
