After the various incidents, I think it would be wise for us to devise
a IRC ruleset for both users and ops to abide to. Heres the first
points I had in my mind to start, please add/correct as needed.

Maybe a wiki page would be best for this...

General Rules:

1. Be Civil to follow users, don't flame, make sexist or racist
remarks, or generally be nasty towards others.
2. Do not discuss questionable topics in the channel; including (but
not limited to): porn, adult humor, illegal or questionable acts and
content.
3. Do not spam or flood the channel.
4. Do not advertise commercial services in this channel. We're a open
source project support channel, not a tool for marketing.
5. Bots are allowed, but will be removed if they break any rules
previously mentioned.

Support Rules:

If you are seeking support in the IRC channel, consider these points.

1. Don't spam your question, people will see your question the first
time, if no one can help you then post it on the forums.
2. Don't ask if you can ask a question, just ask it.
3. Use pastebin (http://crunchbanglinux.org/pastebin) for large files,
don't paste them into the channel!

Issue Resolution:

People who breach the rules will be subjected to the following proceedure:

* First Instance - Warning on the IRC channel by a operator.
* Second Instance - Warning via private message to the user in question.
* Third Instance - +q (Quiet) flag applied to the user for a limited period.
* Fourth Instance - Temporary ban of a week for the user.
* Fifth Instance - perma-ban from the channel.

Compliant Handling:

If you have a complaint regarding your treatment on the IRC channel by
operators or fellow users, then mail
crunchbang-irc-ops@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. The mail will be discussed and
you will receive feedback within the following week.
