Lame nicks

Some nicknames are considered silly and/or inappropriate.

We ask that you refrain from using abusive or foul language and from using punctiation in your nickname. The channel bot automatically kicks nicknames that ignore these guidelines.

A partial exception is use of underscores, which the bot ignores.

Currently, the following banmasks are active to enforce this rule:

  • *|*!*@*
  • *`*!*@*
  • *[*!*@* (also matches "{" and "<")
  • *]*!*@* (also matches "}" and ">")
  • */*!*@*
  • *\*!*@*
  • *^*!*@*
