Display "only language. If you want to speak some other language than English,"
Display "(for example with your friends),go to a separate channel and set  the topic"

Display "move to a channel to see if there are any restrictions about language."
Display "On a non-restricted channel, please speak a language everybody can understand"
Display "If you want to do otherwise,change channels and set the topic accordingly."
Display " "
Display "It's not necessary to greet everybody on a channel personally."
Display "Usually one Hello! or equivalent is enough. And don't expect everybody to greet"
Display "you back.On a channel with 20 people that would mean one screenful of hellos."
Display "It's sensible not to greet,in order not to be rude to the rest of the channel."
Display "If you must say hello to somebody you know,do it with a private message."
Display "The same applies to goodbyes. Also note that using your client facilities"
Display "(ircII "ON" command for instance),to automatically say hello or goodbye to"

Display "environment of the recipient when using autogreets.If somebody wants to be"
Display "autogreeted on joining a channel, he will autogreet himself. Remember,people"
Display "form their opinions about you only by your actions,writings and comments,"
Display "so think before you type. If you use offensive words,you'll be frowned upon."
Display "Do not "dump" to a channel or user,(send large amounts of unwanted information)."
Display "This is likely to get you kicked off the channel or killed off from IRC. "
Display "Dumping causes network burps,connections going down because servers can't handle"
Display "the large amount of traffic anymore. Other prohibited actions include:"
Display "   * Harassing another user.  "
Display "     Harassment is defined as behavior towards another user with the purpose"
Display "     of annoying them."
