Why has my channel been closed / forced +s ?

If your channel has been closed, it most likely is due to a failure to comply with the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). Prior to contacting the Kline/Close Team, please review the AUP, so you are familiar with it.

• Inactive channels which are not registered and occupied by a channel-holding bot are closed and will not be reopened.
• Channels created for the purpose of harrassment of other channels or users will be closed.
• Channels may not be "held open" by a bot.
• It is encouraged that if you wish to have a bot in the channel, the bot parts the channel after 5 minutes, when no members of the channel are present. Please read the AUP in regards to this.

Channels which are Forced to secret mode (+s), more than likely contain inappropriate topics, or a Channel name that is not rated PG. This is a family network, and therefore if a Founder registers a channel, it is his or her responsibility to maintain a clean topic, or to set his/her room to secret. If this is not done, an oper will enforce it and this cannot be removed unless through reporting to this team.
