 +====== First time users: How to connect to IRC ======
  
 +If you're new to IRC, a good start would be **[[https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=scottishconsulate|clicking here: Freenode's IRC web chat gateway]]**. 
 +
 +Choose a unique nickname (preferably one that we can associate with you if we've met you before), satisfy the captcha, and connect. Please be patient when you ask your first set of questions - people on the other side are not always staring at the chat waiting for someone new to ask something. 
 +
 +When you're more comfortable with IRC and want to use it more frequently, you should explore other IRC client software such as [[http://www.irccloud.com|IRCCloud]], [[https://pidgin.im/|Pidgin]], [[http://www.weechat.org|weechat]], ircii, irssi, BitchX, [[https://adium.im/|Adium]], and more. Feel free to ask for IRC client software recommendations in the chat channel - everyone has their own preferences and perspective.
 +
 +======Channel Rules ======
 +  * The main rule is **don't be a dick** 
 +  * The channel can sometimes be [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_safe_for_work|not safe for work]].
 +  * Logging is permitted, but please don't publish any logs.
 +  * If you pester/abuse the humans or robots, you will get kicked.
 +
 +
 +======Channel Bots ======
 +Channel bots will only be allowed at the discretion of the admins and channel members.
