Just some guidelines to help you out:

• In this case of IRC, you must allow people a degree of anonymity online.
• These channels are for discussion related to constructive work on the Wikinews website.
• There may be social chit-chat, but it is social chit-chat amongst people who are known on the site.
• If you abuse the channel in any way, you may be kicked or banned by one of the channel operators.
• If you need urgent assistance, just type admin@wn.
