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.

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 sorts of items did you have in mind?

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

I agree, although i haven't been on irc recently, so i don't know if there has been abuses recently requiring more formal rules, in general instruction creep = bad -bawolff

We don't need no steenkin' guidelines! In all honesty, the channel runs pretty fine as it is. Introducing guidelines will introduce rules-lawyers. Currently - consensus rules, and that's how it should stay IMHO. Ops are there to maintain the peace if anything happens.
of conversation because it disrupts the flow I don't top post

Agree with all on this one :)
