BService Policy about Bots in Channels

Acquiring a Bot

  1. BService reserves the right to refuse any request for a bot to be in a channel, for any reason.
  2. Only channels registered with Channel Services are eligible (On Othernet, this means that X must be in the channel.)
  3. Only the owner (founder) of a channel may ask for a bot. (On Othernet, this means the person must have level 500 access with X in the channel.)
  4. BService will supply no more than one bot per channel.
  5. A bot will not be supplied if any of the following is true:
    • there is another bot in the channel, not counting the one supplied by Channel Services
    • the channel is a warez channel
    • the channel normally has any one of the following modes: +i +s +l +k +m
  6. BService reserves the right to list, on our website, the network, channel, bot name, and channel owner name, for any channel to which a BService bot has been assigned.

Removing a Bot

  1. BService reserves the right to remove our bot from a channel for any reason, and without prior notice.
  2. The owner of the channel may request the removal of our bot at any time, and BService will comply with that request as soon as possible.
  3. Changing a channel's name or owner will result in BService removing the bot; it can be re-applied for, however.
  4. Any of the following things will cause cause BService to remove a bot from a channel:
    • Deoping, kicking, or banning the bot, or removing its access from Channel Services
    • Kicking or banning BService members, which come to your channel to solve problems with the bot
    • Not co-operating with BService members who are trying to solve a problem with the bot in the channel
    • Using the bot for mass advertising, or for any activity that is in conflict with Channel Services policy
    • Abusing the bot
    • Losing control of the channel

  1. Channel Owners are responsible for all events that happen on the channel.
  2. BService is not accountable for anything that happens on your channel.
  3. BService can set global bans.
  4. BService can change any point of this policy without prior notice.
