R emember that this is a SHARING channel. Share back what you take and keep your list up to date. If your list is out of date, an op will very likely pm you to remind you (if other users don't tell you first!). Please update your list at least twice per month, on the 1st and the 15th.

Ops help out because they enjoy helping people - keep it enjoyable for them.

N ever paste more than a maximum of 5 file-requests at one time and wait for all the "request accepted" messages before pasting 5 more. Never keep more than 4 full discs in anyone's queue.
E xpect to be kicked or even banned if you run any bots or scripts of any kind which are not authorized by a channel administrator. This includes AutoGet.
S ending files DCC without first getting the consent of the recipient is expressly forbidden, as is initiating a DCC chat without being invited to do so - if you want to communicate with someone, double-click on their nick and leave them a private message.
T YPING IN ALL CAPS IS LIKE SHOUTING!!! Please don't. If any of the above is unclear - pm an Op in the channel and ask for explanation.
It never hurts to ask and there's no such thing as a stupid question. Above all… Have fun in here!
