IRC Guidelines

  1. Creative people, like yourself, tend to be less interested in strict rules. We're not big on strict rules either, they take the fun out of it. Because of this, we have guidelines.
  2. This is a safe place for scientistes to learn, share their inventions, and ask questions. Please be tolerant of those that have different skill levels than you, and be respectful of your fellow scientistes. If they take over the world, you'll want to be on their good side.
  3. Mad scientists are sometimes creepy towards humans. We respect your right as a mad scientist to be creepy, especially if it makes you a better mad scientist. However, if you're a creepy mad scientist, we'd appreciate it if you kept the creepier comments to yourself. Besides, you don't want to give away your super power.
  4. Impersonating other scientistes in the chat can cause confusion, and in extreme cases, a robot uprising. Impersonation is not tolerated. Besides, the eye-scanners at the security stations will lase your eyes if you're pretending to be someone you're not.
  5. Topics that may not be suitable for younger ears may be discussed in the channel, and videos that aren't safe for work may be linked. Excessive swearing is frowned upon, however. If a video is not safe for work, please mention that when posting the URL, and avoid using the URL bot to display it - nobody wants to get fired for watching this stream.
  6. We use a speech synthesizer with the chat so the hosts can get away from their computers, and still interact with the viewers. You can learn more about the synthesizer here. Although it's a lot of fun playing with the voices, we'd appreciate it if you'd keep playing with the voices to a minimum after you find your preferred settings.
  7. Though you might just be joining our ranks, we probably have a common enemy: the spam artisan. All spammers will be taken care of instantaneously by stabbing robots, so you don't have to worry about it. Unless you're a spammer, of course.
  8. Did we already kick you out of our utopian society? TOO BAD. Actually, there's a loophole. If it's only temporary, you might just appease the scientistes to let you come back sooner by creating a really cool hack!
