Simply put, these rules are to ensure that SystemNet remains baka-free and remains an overall pleasant experience for all members.

- Send channel invites to clients without their permission.
- Flood channels with the sole intent of disrupting channel activity.
- Abuse network resources
- Perform botnet/DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks.
- Establish excessive connections (>5 connections, excessive cloning).
- Expose any part of the network, including clients, to exploits.
- Cause slowdown of network operation.
- Steal passwords or personal information.
- Trick clients into giving over access passwords.
- Abuse of services bots to use profanity/pornographic/unacceptible terms
