Profanity in the Channel

Since #Beginner is a channel where people of all ages and persuasions come from over the world, one of our channel's rules since the beginning is that profanity is not allowed.  Many channels on IRC do not have any rules of this nature, and you may well find one or several of those to be a channel you hang out in on a regular basis.  However, since we routinely help everyone from children to grandmothers, the channel bots automatically kick users for profanity.  The channel operators (the people you see with an @ in front of their nicks) may kick users at their discretion for profanity if they feel it necessary.

Our list of words we auto kick for is:

fuck  (and variations of this word)

cunt

slut

asshole

puta

bitch

bastard

shit (and variations of this word)

pussy

nigger

nigga

whore

dickhead

This does not affect what goes on in your private conversations with other users.  What goes on in one-on-one private conversations is entirely up to you, as long as both persons are ok with it.  However, if we receive documented complaints about a particular user who is harassing others in private message with unwanted profanity or other inappropriate behavior, we will ban the offender from our channel.
