TRP IRC Rules and Recommendations

We recommend you use irccloud: https://tinyurl.com/TRPirccloud2 to connect to the channel or set up client authentication by following the instructions here: https://tinyurl.com/TRPauth in order to mask your ip address information.


Rules:
• No sharing of anyone's personal (or personally identifiable) information. It would be wise to limit your own sharing as well. This is a public forum and the internet has more permanence than you might consider.
• No whining.
• No backwards rationalizing.
• No estrogenic behavior.
• No cucks.
• Do not evade a ban, even a temporary one. Evading any ban will extend its duration exponentially. The way to handle a ban is to appeal to (using "/msg <nick>") one of the channel moderators: Anteros, Laxman14, physt, anEffingChamp, DaPowa or mkRed. Changing nicks, messaging non-moderators, and whining on reddit are not useful courses of action and will likely extend said ban.
• Encouraging others to commit suicide is not allowed. No matter how funny it seems at the time.
• Do not pester our users via Private Messages, it would be prudent to request permission before sending a PM.
• QuakeNet rules must also be adhered to and can be found at: https://www.quakenet.org/help/rules/main-rules

Recommendations:
• The Red Pill network is a hierarchy and newcomers start at the bottom. Voiced users and Channel Operators (usually identified by + or @ next to their nicks) are veteran users with a history of valuable Red Pill advice. Challenging these users is not recommended.
• If you are new to the channel, hang out for a while and introduce yourself. Note that lurkers and users with no TRPbot karma are sometimes kicked/tempbanned.
• Do not offer advice on topics you have no personal experience with.
• The channel is not a competition for who can be the biggest internet asshole. AMOG attempts and passive aggressive behavior will be curbed.
• Sarcasm/Snarkiness is estrogenic, and while it may be tempered with a long history of masculine behavior it should not constitute your first impression.
• It is ideal to keep the same IRC nick so that other users can develop a better understanding of your situation and advise accordingly.
• This channel is not a substitute for a licensed therapist nor will we attempt to resolve issues that should be handled by one. If you feel like killing yourself contact the suicide hotline at 1(800)273-8255 They are open 24/7 and happy to help.
