Foreword
Azzurra is an IRC network open to anyone. The staff is committed to keeping it free, respectful and safe. Following the rules is a precondition for using the network.
General rules
1. Mutual respect
It is forbidden to insult, harass or threaten other users in any channel or in private query. Aggressive, discriminatory or hateful behaviour against people or groups is not tolerated.
2. Spam and flood
Sending repetitive messages, unauthorised advertising, or so much volume that it disrupts normal conversation (flood) is forbidden. Bots not authorised by the staff are also forbidden.
3. Illegal content
Distributing, linking or promoting content that is illegal under Italian or European law is strictly forbidden — including but not limited to: child sexual abuse material, copyright-infringing content, other people’s personal data.
4. Clones and proxies
Using unauthorised multiple connections (clones), anonymous proxies or any other systems to bypass bans or limits is forbidden. To request an authorised multi-host connection, see the dedicated section.
5. Nicks and channels
Nicknames and channel names must not contain offensive, sexist, racist references, or anything otherwise contrary to public decency. The staff reserves the right to force a nickname change or close any channel that breaks this rule.
Channel rules
Each channel may set its own additional rules, as long as they do not conflict with the general network rules. Channel staff (operators) are responsible for enforcing them.
Channel operators must act fairly and not abuse their privileges.
Sanctions
Rule violations may result in:
- Kick from a channel
- Ban (temporary or permanent) from a channel
- K-Line (temporary or permanent ban from the network)
- G-Line (global ban) in the most serious cases
