Same goes for that rules about not helping with file-sharing scripts etc.
Who cares what one does with his scripts?
I care
Here's why
1) I dont want to spend all day fighting off ignorant attacks or spammers, I really have other things to do with my mind.
2) filesharing done the way most people do it, mrc files text files, things they made and are sharing within the IRC community is legal and good. Getting a copy of mIRC and scripting it to be a file sever unattanded in a mp3 channel FEX is very illegal, and not what a CHAT program is for. despite the person misusing mIRC to fileserve in an illegal manner being liable for doing so, to support it here is like condoning that behaviour.
Obvious to me is to not support things that the user intends in an abusive way.
I don't want spammers joining my channel and flooding crap, I won't help them do it to YOU either.
I won't help people set up an obvious fileserver as I feel that is a threat to the whole IRC community, I'm sure they could shut down IRC pretty easy as its hosted by companys or persons that have spent their money to provide a Free Service. It would be very easy for all of that to pack up and go away.
/me hops down off the soap box and shuts up.
