= 📴 DWBouncers: Inactive Policy =
To ensure fair resource usage and keep the DWBouncers service running smoothly, all ZNC accounts must remain active.
This policy explains how inactivity is defined, how accounts are monitored, and when removal occurs.

This applies to '''all Free and Support ZNC users'''.

= 📌 1. What Counts as Activity? =
A ZNC account is considered **active** when:

* The user joins <code>#DWBouncers</code> at least once every '''2 weeks'''.
* The user sends the command:
<code>!keep user</code>
* The user maintains normal IRC usage (connecting through ZNC)

If you do not use your ZNC for long periods or never join <code>#DWBouncers</code>, your account becomes inactive.

= 🚫 2. What Counts as Inactivity? =
Your ZNC account is considered '''inactive''' if:

* You do NOT send <code>!keep</code> for '''2 consecutive weeks''', OR
* Your ZNC has no connection activity for '''12+ days''', OR
* You disconnect from the network for long periods, OR
* You no longer respond to staff messages regarding your ZNC

Inactive accounts create unnecessary load on the system and will be removed.

= 🔄 3. Removal Timeline =
DWBouncers follows this removal process:

== '''Step 1 – Warning (Day 12–14)''' ==
If no activity is detected:
* Staff may send notice through ZNC or IRC
* You may receive a reminder to use <code>!keep user</code>

== '''Step 2 – Suspension (Day 14+)''' ==
If <code>!keep user</code> is still not performed:
* Your ZNC may be temporarily disabled
* You will lose the ability to connect via ZNC

== '''Step 3 – Deletion (Day 15–20)''' ==
If there is still no contact:
* The ZNC account will be permanently deleted
* All settings, modules, logs, and buffers are removed
* Re-requests must follow the full application process again

There is '''no recovery''' after deletion.

To request an exception:
* Join <code>#DWBouncers</code>, or
* Ask a staff member directly

Otherwise, normal inactivity rules apply.

= 🔐 4. Requirements for Keeping Your ZNC =
All users must:

* Stay connected to the '''DarkWorld IRC Network'''
* Use only the official network:
'''irc.darkworld.network +6697'''
* Issue '''!keep nick''' every 2 weeks
* Follow the Terms of Service:
https://bouncers.darkworld.network/terms/

Failure to meet these requirements may result in account removal.

= ❓ 5. Frequently Asked Questions =

== '''Q: Can I automate !keep user?''' ==
No. Using bots or scripts to automate <code>!keep user</code> will result in removal.

== '''Q: What if I forget and my account is deleted?''' ==
You may request a new ZNC, but it counts as a new application.
If you repeatedly become inactive, future requests may be denied.

== '''Q: Do Support ZNC users also need to use !keep user?''' ==
Yes. Support ZNC users have higher priority, but must follow activity rules.

= 🆘 6. Need Help? =
If you think your account is at risk of removal or you need assistance:

→ Join <code>#DWBouncers</code> on irc.darkworld.network
→ A staff member will help you
