BService Policy about Networks

BService Joining a Network

1. If a channel owner on a network not serviced by BService applies for a bot, BService will automatically investigate to see if that network should be included.
2. Anyone on a network may request BService to service that net, without necessarily requesting a bot, by emailing BService at netapp@bservice.org.
3. It is our policy to work with the nets we service. Whenever possible, we will consult with the network admin(s) of a net, before setting up there.
4. BService checks server motd's before placing bots on them.

BService Leaving a Net

1. BService reserves the right to leave a network for any reason, and without prior notice.
2. The network administrator may request BService to leave his/her net at any time, and BService will comply with that request as soon as possible.
3. While it is obvious that net administrators will run their nets any way they see fit, there are certain conditions that all nets should observe, and without which BService will vacate the net. In particular, we will leave any net if any of the following occurs:
   • a BService admin is k-lined
   • an IRCop sees fit to op him/herself in our channel without our consent, or to evade any ban we choose to put on him/her
   • BService reserves the right to operate its own channel the way it sees fit, subject to the net's normal guidelines of course. In particular, we enforce a "no-idling, no general chat" rule for non-BService people, This applies to anyone not on our staff, even ircops and server admins, etc. If the network doesn't like this rule, we will leave.
