RuneScape:Off-site/IRC/Bans

This page is intended to be a list of bans that are currently enforced in. Users are banned when they frequently break the channel rules. Banned users cannot enter the channel.

While any user who is connected to freenode can view the list of bans by typing, this list does not have certain features such as expiry dates (all bans that are set are in effect until manually removed) or the appending of comments. This page is intended to supplement the banlist by allowing for the declaration of expiry dates, as well as easily facilitating the discussion and appeal of channel bans. However, because this list is manually maintained by the channel operators, it cannot always be relied on to be perfectly accurate. If you see an entry that is missing or a ban that has expired on this list, please contact a channel operator.

Channel operators are requested to use short-term mutes (+q) instead of bans whenever possible. Muted users may enter the channel and view conversation, but may not speak.

To appeal or discuss an IRC ban, please use this page's talk page.

Akicks
Akicks are an alternative form of banning. Because only channel managers can set and remove akicks, they should not be used except in the case of long-term bans and with consensus. The akick list may be viewed with.
