everyone.</p>

+users and developers together. <code>#gnu</code>, as a part of the GNU 
community, tries to be welcoming to both new people and long-time regulars. 
These guidelines exist with that goal in mind.</p>
 
 <h3>Channel rules</h3>
 
 <ol>
 <li>Respect your fellow channel members. They may have different opinions and 
beliefs to you. If you treat them with respect, they will likely treat you 
equally.</li>
-<li>Keep it clean - people may be using this channel from work, or they may be 
younger than you - bad language is not useful. Think before you type.</li>
-<li>Zero tolerance - please do not engage in personal attacks, trolling or 
flooding of the channel. If you engage in any of these, you will be kicked, and 
eventually banned from the channel.</li>
