IRC Policy
The Sims Wiki has a dedicated IRC (Internet Relay Chat) Channel that is open to all editors on the Wiki and allows live communication between multiple editors in real-time. By using the channel (Freenode/#The_Sims), you agree to be bound by these policies, and acknowledge that violation of policies can result in being kicked or banned from the channel, with possible corresponding action on The Sims Wiki.

The following rules govern use of the IRC Channel:
 * There is no official topic of the channel; it may be used to discuss the Wiki, discuss The Sims, or simply to build community. However, discussions on the channel must remain appropriate for a general audience.
 * Harassing or attacking other channel users is not allowed.
 * Negative actions by users on the IRC Channel can result in disciplinary action on the Wiki, including warnings, blocks and bans.

Operators
Certain frequent users of the IRC channel have "operator" status. This status gives two unique abilities, as well as added responsibilities. Operators are able to kick and ban users that participate in unruly or unacceptable behavior. A kick results in a temporary removal from the channel, whereas a ban permanently bans a user from the channel. Both kicks and bans are used only under certain circumstances and should not be abused.

If you are interested in obtaining operator rights on the channel, contact Duskey for more information.
