As things develop, the channel goes through ebbs and tides of activity. Days go by without a single word, and sometimes we see 200+ people, all trying to talk at once. In order to keep some order, we discourage discussion of the above topics. While they may occasionally come up in conversation in relation to legitimate dev work, usually they are brought up by people when they first join the channel. If you do this, expect to be kicked and possibly banned.

If you want to say anything in the channel that is not related to hacking the [[Wii]], don't. We do not want comments about how funny the latest YouTube video is, and we do not want to know your shoe size. Don't say anything unless it contributes to hacking the Wii.

If you have something to say in the channel, say it in English. If you want to talk to someone in moon speak, do it in a private message or another channel. As a channel for general discussion related to Wii [[homebrew]], everyone benefits from using the same language.

Nintendo will not release a "secret" or "forced" update that will brick your Wii. It's possible that a change they make could have unexpected effects, but Nintendo will likely do their best to avoid that -- otherwise, they run the risk of having to try to deal with bricked units that have never been physically tampered with.

Unless you have some concrete technical evidence, please do not bring up conspiracy theories on the channel.

== FAQ ==
== FAQ ==
The point of the FAQ is so people can refer to it to get the latest info so people don't have to keep asking. Something must be asked at least a few times before being put into any part of the FAQ. Since things move so quickly, there tend to be questions that are repeatedly asked within a short amount of time, but won't be asked after some other event happens; This is what Questions of the Moment is for. Questions that are asked about generally recognized core parts of the project and will be around for a long time are in the Main FAQ.

Yes, with magic. You need to be a twiizer to pull it off. Don't ask in the wiibrew channel about this, or face the banhammer.
