Inofficial poll: Instant Messaging Usage Policy - who has one?

I am sitting at a client and we are going through the stages of a new IM environment. they are bringing ever-more amounts of users on-line and we had our first "usage" incident. One of the users (the one we found, who knows hoe many more there are) added a non-face picture to their business card. Nothing obscene, mind you, just a dinosaur picture. My first reaction was that a simple IM usage policy that points out specifics would be in order. That way you can point users to a page of regulations so when they decide to be recalcitrant you have something to occupy them with.

Now, here to my poll:
Who out there in IM land actually has an IM usage policy of any shape or form? I would really be interested to hear what topics were covered and how long it is and how often it gets reviewed (if ever) and updated.
