Phoenix Network staff have been advised that connection to the IRC network, IRCNet, may be problematic or even impossible. This is due to the policies of the IRC network in question (as found at this location).

The staff would like to inform users that they have no intention of changing their workings to accomodate some, many or all of the policies mentioned in the above document. There are some points that the staff strongly disagree with and others that seem unnecessary and exhibit poor administration and/or policy on the side of IRCNet.

At a later date, Phoenix Network policies and/or operations may be modified and result in meeting more or all of policies mentioned earlier, however this will not be the result of 3rd party policies such as these ones.
