Library Music Archives:IRC

IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a staple of the internet and is still widely used today by many people, including wiki editors! It can be quite useful to coordinate wiki efforts, as well as just regular chatting. The [ircs://irc.libera.chat:6697/librarymusicarchives #librarymusicarchives] channel hosted on libera.chat is the channel used to communicate such efforts!

The channel is open to all users, non-editors and editors alike. We highly encourage you to collaborate if you'd like, as there is plenty of library music info to document and go around.

Rules

 * 1) Please always follow admin/mod instructions.
 * 2) The [ircs://irc.libera.chat:6697/librarymusicarchives #librarymusicarchives] channel is meant to discuss wiki-related matters, as well as discussing library music in general. When possible, keep it to these topics. Idle chatter is fine, however.
 * 3) Do not troll, denigrate, or otherwise treat users disrespectfully.
 * 4) Do not post links to obscene or NSFW content.
 * 5) Do not flood the channel or cause spam of any type. Use Pastebin if you need to post a long string of text.
 * 6) Do not impersonate users.
 * 7) Do not cause bot spam (the use of bot commands repeatedly, not necessarily by the same user, to the point where the conversation becomes meaningless or hard to follow).
 * 8) People disrespecting any of these rules will be warned, kicked, muted, or banned, depending on the extent and repetitiveness of the offense.
 * 9) Be nice and have fun!
