List of Channel Operators
Channel Operators are Halopedians on IRC "#halopedia" that will serve to maintain channel civility during all conversations, and are expected to moderate inappropriate language. Not all Channel Operators are equally active. GPT, RR, and Dragonclaws are the Channel Contacts for #halopedia.


 * GPT - Channel Contact
 * DEMONSPAWNED - High-level Op
 * Dragonclaws - High-level Op
 * Manticore - High-level Op
 * Relentless - High-level Op
 * Rotaretilbo - High-level Op
 * ChristineV - Low-level Op


 * Angela, Catherine, and sannse are Wikia staff, and are therefore also low-level ops on #halopedia. Note: Please do not ask them about local issues. The above users will deal with minor problems.

To confirm the list of channel operators use the command: /msg ChanServ ACCESS #halopedia LIST while in IRC.

What is the IRC Team?
Our IRC Team is composed of respected and responsible users who frequent the IRC. Voices have the ability to talk when the channel is moderated; Ops can kick and ban users, and some can change other users' access levels.

They are essentially the leaders of the IRC. When you have a problem or question regarding the channel, a Team member will help you any way he or she can.

Can I become part of the Team?
Team members are selected on an as-needed basis only. As Halopedia grows and the channel becomes more active, more ops may be needed to assist in its operation. Team positions can be filled via simply asking one of our high-level ops (as listed above).

Rules and Regulations
In addition to these regulations, all freenode guidelines must be abided by.

Nick
EITHER you are using your Halopedia username, OR, if you are using another nick, which MUST be a necessary abbreviation, your whois says who you are AND you are identified to services.
 * Exception: If you aren't a member of Halopedia, but are still in the channel, you're okay.

Flooding
While you can say as many lines of text in a row as you want, if you have a reason, any deliberate flooding of five lines or more without reason, or any spamming of the same message five times or more, will result in being kicked from the channel.
 * Exception: ASCII art, with the permission of an op, OR with the consent of everyone else in the channel if an op isn't present.

Caps
The use of caps lock is frowned upon. Using caps to write a whole entry will result in a channel Op giving a warning. Persistent use of caps after a warning will result in a kick. Further breaking of this rule may result in a short ban, depending on severity.

Inappropriate content
Vulgarity is not allowed. Furthermore, talking about killing, maiming, raping, or anything else that can harm any biotic thing is not allowed. You will get kicked once (warning), and then banned. Also, personal attacks are not allowed.

Politics and Religion
Halopedia isn't about Politics or Religion, it is for Halo stuff. Not about anything else. If an op tells you to stop you get a warn, a kick, and then a ban.

Bans
Note: This is the only section that is rules, not guidelines.


 * First offense: Warning/kick (does not apply to personal attacks)
 * Second offense: Kick
 * Third offense: One day ban

Any further offenses in any way, on the IRC or otherwise, will result in an extended ban, at the discretion of the op administering the ban.
