    * Suspicious and malicious activities on this network are strictly

      and pleasant atmosphere and network to call home for all of their IRC
      needs. If you are found in violation of this policy, you will be removed
      and banned from the network.

    * No user shall be allowed more then 3 concurrent connections to the
      network. This rule may be adjusted to the networks current defense
      condition, upon connection.

    * A client may not be connected to the network, and not be connected to a
      channel on the network. The reason for this is to help detour malicious
      bots and users. Auswave-IRC will randomly disconnect and/or ban clients
      of which are not currently in a channel on the network.

      network.

    * Bots ARE allowed on the network, as long they are not malicious in any
      way. Some of the servers on the network may not allow bots on their
      server. It is required and is your responsibility to make sure that your
      bot is connected to a server on Auswave-IRC that allows such a
      connection. Server administrators reserve the right to disconnect the
      connection to the network of any bot not in compliance to this rule.

    * The abuse of any IRC Operator or services provided on this network may
      result in a network-wide ban. We do not allow our IRC Operators to abuse
      clients. We, at the network, request and require the same in return.

      to a client. It is the client's responsibility to completely understand
      the rules of this network. The network rules shall apply regardless if
