GUIDELINES OF USE, CONNECTION HELP + DISCLAIMER: » What We Do: iNewsroomLIVE combines the power of online news gathering + financial information, with the realtime platform IRC, to deliver the most dynamic and comprehensive news + market data stream in a single source. » General Manners: While everyone's views of the events of the day are welcome, please be considerate and mindful of other channel users. Foul language, insults, ugly political commentary and general bad attitudes are not welcome. » News Posting: We welcome any timely and relevant postings of news items by our members, however, please do not post a headline if the news bot has already sent that story to the room. Also, please do not post the actual story itself, only a URL so that users can visit a website to view the story if they wish. This is to reduce scroll in the channel so that recent headlines from the bot are not missed by our members. We request that everyone respect this guideline, as the channel becomes useless if not observed. » Quote Requests: Use of the quote request system is for viewing occasional snaphots of stocks or other market data. If you wish to view a large number of quotes, please use a website like Google Finance. Requesting multiple quotes can flood the room and create lag. An automatic update of current open markets is posted to the channel every 15 minutes - please note this before making requests. » 'Revolving Door': To reduce disruption in the channel as much as possible, we have a firm anti-'revolving door' policy. This means users who join then part the room quickly, are banned. This also includes those who join the room only to request a quote, then depart. » Connection: Due to a 'maximum connection' limit on the IRC network where our service resides, you may either get disconnected, or are unable to connect via the Mibbit client. In this case, please try connecting via our main javachat client. Alternatively, access iNewsroom directly from your favourite IRC client by connecting to an Othernet server (irc.othernet.org), and join #Newsroom. » Disclaimer: #Newsroom does not guarantee accuracy of market data. #Newsroom and iNewsroom.net take no responsibility for any financial activities undertaken by any user of the service. News and data feeds link to publically available sites and all rights are reserved by respective providers. The #Newsroom IRC channel is provided free of charge as an information/education service. Its administrators request no fees, nor profit from running the service. |
