:::Kick = Warning (though you can't 'mark' people on IRC for a week) Ban = Block. Bans on IRC are indefinite by standard, they will have to be manually removed if they need a duration. Which TOS are you referring to a morris? Wikia's? If we should link to a TOS it should be freenode's. I'm also a tad skeptical about carrying over actions from IRC to the Wiki since they're no telling if we have the right person unless they're registered with freenode and logged in. Someone could connect claiming to be a user on the Wiki and then get himself banned from the channel and then hope we'll block the user from the Wiki. If we do include 'carrying over punishments' in the policy it should state that only if we can correctly identify the person. People who are not logged in on IRC are like IP's here on the Wiki.

Here's a revised IRC Policy proposal:
----
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 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.
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.
* Excessive spamming of the channel, either through inclusion of nonsense or in linking to other websites multiple times even after receiving an administrator warning, will not be tolerated and may result in a kick or a ban, depending on the amount and type of spam.
* Harassment, exploitation of other users, attacks against other users, extreme profanity or repeated cases of profanity, may be addressed by an administrator on the channel, either through a kick from the channel, or a permanent ban from the channel.
===Administrators===
Administrators from this Wiki are marked by 'voice' status and have a + in front of their name. They are able 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. The duration of a ban will correspond roughly to the existing policies on blocking users from the Wiki.
If you are an administrator on the Wiki, have registered with the freenode network and wish to obtain voice status, contact [[User:Duskey|Duskey]], our IRC channel contact.
----
I'll leave this open to comment. By the way, where does this go after a comment period is over? Is it voted on? -- [[User:LostInRiverview|Patrick (LostInRiverview)]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview|blog]])([[Special:Random|random page]])</small> 05:54, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
