Channel Service exists to provide timely aid and assistance to all legitimate users of the network or its services. CService representatives will take only the minimum actions deemed necessary and sufficient to correct the situation in those cases where possible violations of network policies are evident.
The actions of any CService member are subject to review and possible sanction by the body of CService at any time and for any legitimate reason.
CService will:
CODE OF CONDUCT
By the nature of the job, Channel Service is the most visible of all network activites to visitors and channel users.
CService representatives shall maintain exemplary levels of conduct and professionalism at all times and, most importantly, remain patient and courteous!! From time to time, things will get hectic and sometimes we actually can't be everywhere all at once! CService representatives are always expected to make the best possible effort to meet user needs in a timely manner, no more and no less.
As CService, we are representatives of the network, and should behave with professional conduct on all matters.
The INTENT of channel services is obvious: We help StarLink-IRC maintain its overall integrity and general 'family' atmosphere. Families have favorite relatives, visitors, and the occasional black sheep, and the StarLink-IRC network is no different. Acceptable behavior is always in the eye of the beholder and our toughest job, by far, is to figure out what needs to be done to support the Net as a whole.
CService will try NOT to upset or annoy legitimate users of the net. However, IRC being what it is, somebody somewhere is going to be annoyed with what we do. Is the annoyance justifiable? Were we out of line? Sorry to say but the only way to tell is when we look BACK on what we did and see what the actual result was. We're going to win some and lose some, and that's just the way it is. In emergency or special situations, we do what has to be done and take full responsibility for our actions.
Deliberate malicious abuse of ANYONE may be grounds for immediate removal of a Channel Service member from Channel Service. The delayed golden rule is in effect .. "Do unto others as they would do unto you .. except they get the first shot" Sadly, some individuals only understand direct action on their own terms and from time to time, we are going to have to do things that someone is going to feel is 'abusive' of their rights or whatever. There are no solid rules for determining if actions were simply too direct, abusive, or simply responding in kind to an assault.
Abuse of Channel Service Authority will not be tolerated. Period. Certain channel bot access levels allow control equal to or above that of a Channel Manager. This is somewhat dangerous in that sometimes the temptation to assume control of a channel (or put someone in control of it) will be very high. On RARE occasions this may be the thing to do, USUALLY it isn't, however.. so be very careful.
#Channels: The Home of CService.
Complaints
While abusive behavior is not tolerated on the network, the standards for CService representatives are, of necessity, a little more restrictive. ANY user complaint of abuse of authority or inappropriate behavior will be addressed immediately and decisively. A conference of available CService members will be convened, if necessary, to determine the merits of the complaint and circumstances. Individuals found to have acted inappropriately may be removed from membership in Channel Services.
The bottom line is that while Channel Services sets its own standards, the network's user community will be the final judge of CService quality and performance!
