Fat Maggots IRC Net IRC Network For Everyone

Net Policy

The administrators of the Fat Maggots Network reserve the right to deny
the use of nickname and channel registration services and, optionally,
to deny entire network connection access to users who are suspected of
abusing our services or otherwise engaging in illegal activities.

All applicable laws observed in the real world shall be adhered to
when connected to the Fat Maggots Network. We will not tolerate illegal
behavior and we will fully cooperate with authorities if and when a
need arises.

DESRRIPTION OF PROHIBITIONS:

We do not permit any type of illegal file trading. You may not create a
channel for the primary purpose of, and/or use our network in any capacity
to, distribute, provide direct linking to, or otherwise facilitate the
distribution of content that infringes upon anyone's intellectual property
rights. This includes, but is not limited to, copyright, trademark, rights
of publicity, rights of privacy, and/or other proprietary rights.

You may not use the Fat Maggots Network in any capacity to distribute,
provide direct linking to, or otherwise facilitate the exchange of content
involving sexually explicit images of minors, and/or any materials that may
be otherwise harmful to minors (as determined by existing laws in any
jurisdiction, or as judged by a member of our administrative staff). This
prohibition shall include, but is not limited to, any photograph(s), film,
video, or computer generated image(s) (actual or simulated).

You may not display obscene, lewd, or sexually harassing images or text on
a public channel without the prior consent of that channel's operators.

You may not use the Fat Maggots Network to gain unauthorized access to
other computer systems upon which you are not authorized. You may not
attempt to monitor or manipulate another user's electronic communications.
You may not read, copy, change, or delete any part of another user's
network account (other than the viewing of those items intentionally
made available through network options we have furnished to regular users).

You may not knowingly or carelessly perform any action that will interfere
with the normal operations of computers, servers, or processes associated
with the Fat Maggots Network, or that of other computer systems or networks
(while connected to the Fat Maggots Network). Distributed Denial of Service
("DDoS") actions and other resource abuses are strictly prohibited. Other
prohibited resource abuses include, but are not limited to, any actions
of flooding, any actions of cloning, any actions of mass-messaging, and
any actions of mass-inviting.

You may not make unauthorized attempts to circumvent data protection
schemes or reveal security "holes" or vulnerabilities on our network,
should any happen to exist. This prohibition shall include, but is not
limited to, the creation and/or utilization of programs that are designed
to identify such "holes" or vulnerabilities, and/or programs that are
designed to decrypt intentionally secured data. Users found to be involved
in such activity will be permanently banned from the Fat Maggots Network
and reported to appropriate authorities.

You may not fake or alter ("spoof") user@host information to evade a ban
or falsify your identity. You may use vhosts, but not for evasive purposes.

You may not advertise, distribute, or link to software viruses, files,
programs, or other computer code designed to capture information or
otherwise interrupt, destroy, or limit the functionality of any computer
software and/or hardware or telecommunications equipment associated with
the Fat Maggots Network, or do the same to any other network or system
from an Fat Maggots Network connection.

You may not run programs known as, functioning as, or that include spam
bots, flood bots, clone bots, leech clients, file serves (also called
"fservs"), dccbots, Trojan bots, or zombie bots. Friendly, non-threatening
bots are welcome; however, we request that you obtain approval from an
Fat Maggots staff member before configuring your bot for use on our network.

DISCLAIMER:

Considering the real-time nature of IRC, it is impossible for our staff
to review all channels and messages for the validity of information
presented or exchanged among users. The Fat Maggots staff cannot vouch
for, nor do we make claims to the accuracy of, completeness of, or
usefulness of any user's advice sent through our network. Moreover,the
Fat Maggots staff will not be held responsible for such content, as it
is largely out of our control. User messages only express the views of
their authors, not necessarily the views of the Fat Maggots staff or any
other entity or person(s) associated with the administration of our
network.

No responsibility for computer damage, data loss, or other related
damage shall be implied by the Fat Maggots Network, its servers, its
administrators, or any other entity or person(s) associated with the
administration of our network and systems. By connecting to any of the
Fat Maggots servers, you hereby state and agree that you release the
Fat Maggots staff and management, its servers, its administrators, its
operators, and any other person(s) working on behalf of our network and
systems from all responsibility and legal liability which may result
from your use of our network servers.

We reserve the right to restrict a user's access to our servers if his
or her content and/or conduct does not meet our standards. Neither
Fat Maggots nor any entity or person(s) associated with the
administration of the Fat Maggots Network shall assume any liability if
we fail to remove any user who offends or causes hardship to another
user. Fat Maggots staff members shall make the final determination about
whether or not someone's speech is objectionable. The Fat Maggots staff
will not endorse or oppose opinions expressed by our users. The
Fat Maggots administrators, at our discretion and without prior warning
or notification, reserve the right to selectively deny access to, or
use of, the Fat Maggots IRC network and/or any or all of its resources
to anyone for any reason at any time. Such resources include, but are
not limited to, our servers, our services, our channels, our groups,
and our websites.
