IRC オペレータ ガイドライン

Here are some points to remember when enabling operator status:

  • Stay friendly: Trolls, flooders, people with no social skills–they all visit from time to time. If someone is abusive, warn him or her. If someone won’t learn or gets aggressive, remove the offender from the chat. If someone is (accidentally) flooding, mute or remove that person and give the URL to our pastebin. Don’t forget to unmute when you think the flood is over. Never swear at people, though; always stay friendly. If you remove a very abusive person, don’t respond to the cheering you will get. Don’t be surprised at the abuse and swearing in private messages you will get either.
  • Don’t hold ops: After you finish doing what you needed operator privileges for, de-op yourself. Staying +o for long periods is not really useful and you’ll attract unneeded attention. A possible exception is when general commotion might be going on in the channel and staying +o might be useful to indicate to other members that you are around, so that they don’t need to call !ops.
  • Don’t use ignore: Even when people are very offensive to you in private chat, don’t use your /ignore function. A soft-ignore (simply not responding) works nearly as well. If you /ignore too much, chances are you will miss problems in the channel. Freenode also has +g user mode, which blocks private messages and notices but not channel activity. If someone is abusive in private, /mode <your_nick> +g can help; you can add exceptions with /accept command. Do not filter your channel info (joins/parts/klines etc). These also hold much info.
  • Ban on sight: So far there have been no very abusive users. In extreme cases, users can be added to a special list in ChanServ that prevents them from ever entering the channel again. If you think someone qualifies for this list, discuss it with the other operators in #nginx-master.
  • Clean your bans regularly: It is unavoidable that people will be banned. Make sure you don’t simply forget these bans and never remove them. Users usually learn from their mistakes, and very often a long term ban is not needed. The IRC bot is a useful tool to review why a ban was put in place.
  • Comment on your bans: ngxbot logs all kicks/bans/removes/mutes. You can comment on your actions in the ban tracker. This is really useful to keep track of both abusive users and bans that are around for a long time. Comments can also be used to alert other ops that a ban should not be removed before talking to you. Ngxbot sends you a query after you create a ban, telling you how to comment on that ban. This makes it both very easy and very efficient to add comments about bans, which makes managing future issues much easier.
  • Don’t retaliate: If someone misbehaves, don’t retaliate. Take only the appropriate actions to prevent further abuse (kick, ban, contact Freenode staff). Retaliation is against the Code of Conduct and makes us look bad as an operator team. As operators we expect users to retaliate when we reprimand them. This is what a ban is for and if users attempt to evade a ban we have further actions we can take. However, when operators retaliate it can become extremely disruptive in a channel, especially if two operators disagree. Retaliation from operators is unacceptable behavior.

When to Ban/Kick Someone

This is a summary of the current ad-hoc (generally accepted) guidelines used by the operators.

  • Flooding: mute
  • Accidental flooding (pasting): mute and point to pastebin (remove mutes when you think the paste is over)
  • Swearing/off-topic: warn
  • Repeated swearing/off-topic: quiet
  • Someone who comes back after a kick and continues misbehaving: ban
  • Trolling: ban
  • Personal attacks against people: kick/ban

Examples of trolling:

  • Repeatedly asking about other web servers or OSs
  • Seeking for the limits of what’s allowed
  • A lot of CAPS
  • Being only negative about NGINX or other topics

Accidents Happen

After staying on IRC for a while, ops can get a bit trigger-happy. Don’t forget that accidents do happen. Please don’t impose severe punishments on accidental mishaps. In addition, users can make mistakes just as easily. It is expected that operators can recognize when an accident happened and respond accordingly.
