IMHO, there shouldn't be any official rules for the IRC channel, remember the wiki (and thus -l) is separate from the channel.
That said, I do disapprove with some things on IRC, mostly inapproite kicking

IMO - dont need rules - it would spoil it and anything goes really.

Why do you need guidelines for the IRC channel? In my experience, it's normally best to not have them if you don't need them. :-) What

The last time that we discussed our IRC channel, we didn't
really come up with a formal consensus for our IRC channel guidelines. I think that we should come up with a formal decision about our channels and status.
On a side note, I will have limited internet for the next few days,
so please excuse my lack of availability.
