If they don't consult with others, and they are in fact wrong in what they say, they will lose BBS posting privileges for two weeks. The same applies to any committee member who publicly (on the BBS or otherwise), puts down another committee member in relation to society work they do, or claims that they are doing said work wrong. Such matters should be brought to the attention of the committee, and not to the BBS. | ||
The punishment, as said above, is suspension of BBS posting privileges for two weeks (That is, after the committee have agreed that what was said, or done, was wrong.) | |||

<p>The chat software was the result of development work done by Pooka and Plop. Pooka spent some of the summer beating sense into a chat server called NUTS (Neil's Unix Talk Server), and he added lots of features and generally cleaned up the code. Plop wrote a curses based client for NUTS, called ITCHY, hence Redbrick's main chat software was bizarrely entitled Itchy Nuts - "Imaginatively titled client heralding yapping on Neil's UNIX talk server".</p> | <p>The chat software was the result of development work done by Pooka and Plop.

<p>Police in riot gear turned up when the brickies were all loitering outside The Jolly Beggarman deciding where to go. They were probably just driving by anyway, and they noticed Thayl and Kod on top of some telephone boxes... The party in Wishkah's after the Jolly Beggarman was quite good. It was also quite entertaining to see the look on the faces of the scummers who were told to leave, after they had given away all their beer. As well as the look on Pooka's face after one of them punched him in the face.</p> | <p>Police in riot gear turned up when the brickies were all loitering outside The Jolly Beggarman deciding where to go.
