vHost policy
A 'vHost' (virtual host) allows users to hide their hostmask (i.e., Rizon-AB252A-rogers.com
) with something creative (i.e., host.like.this
). The nickname must be registered in order to request a vHost.
All users requesting a vHost or using a vHost must abide by these rules.
vHost Policy
- No IP vHosts, or IP look-a-likes.
- No resolving vHosts. (This basically means the vHost can't point to an actual site, e.g. google.com, rizon.net, etc.)
- No vHosts that mimic government organizations. (e.g. *.gov, *.gc.ca, FBI, etc.) And, no impersonating private organizations which have government affiliation (MPAA, RIAA, etc.)
- No vHosts that contain the words 'forum', 'ircop', 'admin', 'network', or any IRCop's nick.
- You are only allowed to change your vHost once every 7 days. Spamming the system with frequent requests will result in a ban from the vHost system.
- If you are caught abusing vHosts to evade bans, you will have your vHost removed, akilled from Rizon for a set period of time, and banned from using vHosts for an extended period.
- No racist words. (Note: what is considered racist/derogatory is subject to discretion by vHost team members.)
- No references to other networks/spamming. (e.g.
come.to.irc.blahblahblah.net
,join.my.channel
) - No references to "kiddy"-like activity. (e.g. dosing, rooting, "carding," etc.)
Understanding vHosts
- The vHost is the part after
@
, so don't submit a vHost that has a@
because it will fail.- Valid:
my.new.vhost
- Invalid:
this@my.new.host
- Valid:
- Your vHost must contain a dot (aka
.
) - vHost requests are first processed by a bot, which checks if the requested vHost breaks any of the rules above. If your vHost keeps getting rejected and you think it is a mistake,
/join #services
for further assistance.
Requesting a vHost
Please note that you must have a registered nickname in order to request a vHost. In order to register your nickname, please visit Register your nickname
When you request your vHost, it will have to be MANUALLY approved by a member of the vHost team.
To request a vHost, use the command
/msg HostServ request vhost.goes.here
Example
/msg HostServ request my.new-vhost.got.milk
Once your vHost is approved it can be turned on via:
/msg hostserv on
