To connect to IRC manually, open your favorite irc client and type:
/server irc.prison.net .. and once that's completed, type
/join #wtf.com .. or click
here.
* Do not taunt
happy fun ball.
* Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask the question. If you feel this is rude, incorporate your introduction into the question. i.e. "hi, I'm new to WTF, can somebody tell me why I can't login?" instead of "hi, can I ask a question?"
* Don't ask a question without first attempting to figure it out for yourself, via research.
* Staff members are not obligated to discuss reasons for banning, site policies, or anything else in the chat room if they do not wish to.
* Don't repeat yourself/scroll constantly. It's possible that everybody in the channel is simultaneously not paying attention, and will see what you said when they look back.
* Don't use bold colors, mIRC colors, blinky text, or ANSI codes. They are considered to be obnoxious and are generally abused.
* Set autoaway off. We don't care that you've been idle for 5 minutes.
* Don't run a script that posts irrelevant things into the channel. We aren't interested in which mp3 your computer has just queued up.
* Don't initiate file transfers without the other user's consent.
* Rules are subject to change without notice, bitch!
