		Channel Operators (the people with the "@" by their names) are chosen by the Channel Manager. Please comply with any reasonable request made to you by a Channel Operator.
		#Armenia Channel Enforcement Policy: Penalties imposed on infractions. These are general guidelines for punishments that will be invoked on offenders. They serve as a base guideline for the Operators who enable them. This is not a 'guideline to see what you can get away with. It is a guideline so you know what will be done. EP1 - Private warning EP2 - Public warning EP3 - Kick EP4 - Temp ban EP5 - Ban EP6 - Terminated EP1 - Private warning A Channel Operator will contact you in private at (or near) the time of the offence (or notification) and give you a friendly warning. This is the least severe of all actions and is the most common. If you've been contacted in this manner it's because you broke a rule you may not have (or may have) knew about. EP2- Public warning If you receive this warning the chances are you may have missed a private warning message in your IRC or, it's you're second offence if you had talked with a Channel Operator. It's a benefit of the doubt warning but it does call the offender to the scrutiny of the public. EP3 - Kick No longer a warning now, you've given a reality check. Chances are you've ignored the warnings, missed all attempts to warn you, or are being malicious. EP4 - Temp Ban Efforts to attempt a peaceful resolution of a channel problem have been fruitless. You've been being disruptive, uncaring for your fellow guests, disrespectful to Channel Operators/Staff, and/or are blinded by anger. A time out or nap is needed. Think about things... Go have a smoke, take a walk, get a glass of water and watch some television. After the anger or 'being funny' has subsided you may want to come back and talk to a Channel Operator about why you were temp'd. Evasion of EP4 may trigger EP5. EP5 - Ban All other attempts have failed. You've now graduated to a ban length of no less than 1 hour and no longer than 14 days. The length of this ban is determined by the severity of the reason and/or history of the offender. EP6 - Terminated Cannot interact well with others.
