Rule Proposals

Proposed changes and additions to SkipIRC network rules.

Age limit change
Note from Kufat:

After research and checking over my insurance and legal coverage, I've decided to stick with the current age limit progression. If the SCP Wiki changes its age policy, this issue will be revisited.

Privacy / Violation of Confidentiality / Doxxing
Sharing information from private channels and conversations on SkipIRC is a violation of SkipIRC rules.

PM conversations are presumed private by default. A channel is presumed to be private if it generally has any of the following modes set: i, k, p, s. A channel is also presumed to be private if it has ChanServ's RESTRICT feature enabled, or any other similar measure.

This will only apply in cases where substantive information is leaked. (If you reshare a joke someone made in a private channel, for example, there wouldn't be any network-level punishment. The channel's ownership would be free to take whatever action it deems appropriate.) Private conversations may be shared publicly with the consent of all participants and, if from a private channel, the channel's owner.

Sharing conversations with network or channel staff for purposes of reporting harassment or rulebreaking will not be considered a violation of this rule, nor will sharing conversations with law enforcement should there be a reasonable basis to believe that a crime has been committed.

This rule will only be enforced at the request of other participants in a conversation and/or channel staff in a private channel where the conversation occurred. No enforcement action will be taken without the agreement of no less than 50% of active SkipIRC staff members who are network operators or above.

TODO: Doxxing rule.

Harassment: Attempting to Harm Another User's Mental or Physical Health
Implemented.
