#nuthouse reform

Part A - #nuthouse code of conduct

Upon passing by cadmin, the following will be the new code of conduct for #nuthouse:


#Nuthouse is the administration channel for ChatNet and is run by IRC
administrators and operators of the network. Since this channel represents
the network as a whole, a professional and courteous manner must be
maintained by all ChatNet officials when users are present and being
assisted. Helping people should be a priority if you are available in
#nuthouse, though every user doesn't have to be greeted. Once a user has
gotten assistance with his problem, they are asked if they require more
help. As well as being courteous to users, one should attempt to be
courteous to fellow ChatNet officials. Possibly offensive K9 comments should
be changed since it's not easy to ignore K9. Personal disagreements are not
to be dealt with in open channel, if a problem of this sort arises it should
be addressed to the oper's or FON's admin or a suitable third party
representative, or taken to Chatworld opmsg, private message, or #chatnet
for further discussion. #chatnet was designed to bring ChatNet officials
together so don't hesitate to use it when needed.

1. Users who interfere with the help being administered or cause a channel
disruption of any kind can be removed from the channel through kick or a
ban. Users who idle excessively may be removed by a short ban.

2. IRCD limits the number of bans a channel is allowed. All bans set for the
channel that are in the server are subject to removal in a cleaning out
process of the channel bans. If you want the ban to stay, use K9 to set the
ban. Bans set through K9 stays in K9's database until they expire or are
removed.   Bans in K9 should only be removed by the person who set them.
An administrator can remove bans if the user setting the ban has been
consulted or if a user is needing assistance is banned as a result.  Excessively
long bans tend to hinder the help process and should be used only minimally.

3. There is rarely a need to have  clones in #nuthouse. Clones or bots are
permissible if a question/problem which would require them arises.
Otherwise, they shouldn't be allowed in #nuthouse.

4. There is no need to have a bot in #nuthouse at any time.  The only
allowed bots are the services, ChatWorld and K9.

5. #nuthouse is not associated with #doghouse and ChatNet Channel Services
help. Users seeking help concerning K9 and ChatNet Channel Services can be
assisted by any ChatNet official who is knowledgeable enough to do so. IRC
operators who miss inform users of how to use K9, or rules about K9, should
be reprimanded in private. If an operator isn’t sure of the answer, then
they should tell the user to come back when a Channel Services person is
available, or get help from another ChatNet official.

6. Using popups, using color, and playing sounds in #nuthouse should be
limited if at all possible. If assistance involved with any of these things
is required, it should be conducted in #help or another venue.


Part B - New #nuthouse K9 onjoin

Upon passing by cadmin, the following will be the new K9 onjoin for
#nuthouse:

- Welcome to #nuthouse, ChatNet's Administration Channel. This channel is
intended for ChatNet and network related assistance.
- Please follow these truisms while on irc: 1] Thou shalt not annoy. 2] Thou
shalt not be easily annoyed. 3] Oh and /ignore works well too.  To better
aid the users needing assistance, using popups, using color, playing sounds,
and needless chatting should be kept to a minimum while in #nuthouse
- For K9 and Channel Service questions or problems, please visit #doghouse
