Moderator guidelines

We aim to be an inclusive community and as such you should refrain from kicking and banning users from the #nim IRC channel. If an argument goes out of hand then you may silence the users involved for a length of time that is no longer than 15 minutes. Kicking/Banning should be reserved for the absolute last resort, that is, if the user is intentionally causing chaos in the IRC channel despite many warnings.

Should these rules not suffice, we will change them, but in all the years of Nim's development it was never necessary to ban one and we like to continue this trend
