The Sims Wiki has a dedicated [[The Sims Wiki:IRC Channel|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/#wikia-sims), you agree to be bound by these policies as well as any applicable IRC or freenode rules or terms of use, and acknowledge that violation of policies can result in being kicked or banned from the channel. Note that the freenode IRC channel is not affiliated with Wikia.
Line 49 ⟶ 47:
====Channel operators{{Anchor|Operators}}====
[[The Sims Wiki:IRC Channel Operators|Operators]] are trusted users that have been granted the ability to kick or ban users who do not follow the policies set above. A kick is a temporary removal from the channel and serves as a warning. A ban can have a limited duration or be indefinite, depending on the severity of the case and any past action taken against the user. The duration of a ban will correspond roughly to the existing policies on blocking users from the Wiki.
Line 63 ⟶ 60:
''These IRC Channel Policies have taken effect as of 13 September 2010; these policies were amended on 21 August 2012, and again on 19 June 2016.''

In addition to IRC, The Sims Wiki has a dedicated [[The Sims Wiki:Chat|on-wiki Chat feature]] as part of the MediaWiki software which also allows real-time communication between users of the wiki. By using Chat, you agree to be bound by these policies and acknowledge that violation of policies can result in being kicked or banned from Chat.
Line 74 ⟶ 71:
====Chat moderators====
Chat moderators are marked with a star next to their name when viewed in Chat; Administrators are chat moderators by default. They are able to kick or ban users who do not follow the policies set above. A kick is a temporary removal from the Chat and serves as a warning. A ban can have a limited duration or be indefinite, depending on the severity of the case and any past action taken against the user. The duration of a ban will correspond roughly to the existing policies on blocking users from the Wiki. Bans from Chat can be viewed [[Special:Log/chatban|here]].
