 '''Operators use their discretion''' when applying these rules, and understanding of the rules depends on operator conception of the rules, and particular exceptions may be granted by specific operator approval. These rules and regulations, however, should be followed strictly by users. Any breach of these rules and regulations may lead to punishment by an operator.
-In addition to these regulations, all [http://freenode.net/channel_guidelines.shtml freenode guidelines] must be abided by.
+When you enter the Discord channel, you are expected to have prior knowledge of all these rules, and will be punished accordingly.

 === Nick ===
-The nickname guideline is a loosely enforced rule. Newer users are encouraged to use their existing Destinypedia username until their activity and knowledge of the channel allows them to make a custom nickname. However, impersonation of any user will be met with consequences from the channel staff, and may lead to a ban if such activity persists.
