Policy on Contacting ISP's or other
agencies:
If it is necessary to contact an ISP or another agency concerning a users
behavior on ChatNet, this action should be taken by one person. If more than one
person is making the contact, messages can be confused and positive results and
responses do not always occur. The individual making the contact should be an
admin or an Oper, and preferably someone who was involved in the incident,
either directly or indirectly. It is necessary to have all necessary logs and
other necessary information ready for disclosure in such cases. Proof of the
abuse is necessary. Not all sources of logs received are reliable as logs can be
falsified. If contact of federal agencies like the FBI occur, it should be
brought to the attention of others via the admins so that there will be
knowledge of the contact. The details need not be gone into in making such
knowledge known. It is necessary to let others know when making contact so
multiple contacts do not occur. Proof is not always easy to produce on IRC, so
caution is recommended in making contacts. .
