Effective January 1, 2001
Rev. February 5, 2003

5.1 Although SCC does not offer technical support for Chat, a Customer may connect, as a guest, to Chat servers and networks maintained by third parties. A Customer shall not engage in activities that might interfere with other's access to Chat services.

5.2 A Customer may not use Chat scripts or programs that interfere with, or deny service to, other users on any other server, host, network or channel.

5.3 A Customer may not engage in activities that harass others. This includes, but is not limited to, "flooding" (rapidly entering text with the intent to disrupt service), "flashing" (disrupting terminal emulation), "takeovers" (improper seizing and abuse of operator privileges), sending private messages to those who do not wish to receive them, returning to a channel after being banned from it, and other disruptive behaviors.

5.4 A Customer may not attempt to impersonate other users. The use of nicknames does not constitute impersonation.

5.5 A Customer may run "clones" (multiple simultaneous IRC connections) and "bots" only as permitted by the host Chat server.
