Regular Chat Commands
You may use the manual commands to communicate to others and instruct  the chat to do certain things.


commands must have a / in front of each line.

/msg nick message - private message another user in a private chat screen. (example: /msg joeblow hello) You may also simply double click on someone's nickname.

/notice nick message - send a private message to another person in their room. (example: /notice joeblow hello)

/part #room message - put a message when you leave a room. (example: /part #help I will be back)

/quit message - put a message in your quit. (example: /quit be back tomorrow)

/services register nick - register your nickname with this command or double click it on the room list. (example: /services register joeblow password here)

/services drop nick - drop your nickname by this command or double click it on the room list. (example: /services drop joeblow)

If your nickname is ghosted (still there even after you've disconnected and came back) Type /services ghost nick password

Registering your Free Chatroom

Be sure that your nickname is registered first (see above)

Enter the room you want to register by typing /join roomname

Double click in the room.

A page will pop up asking for the information the server needs to register the room.

If a room name that you want is already taken you will have to select another roomname.  We will NOT drop rooms just because you want it.



Channel Operator and Mode Commands

Channel operators (also known as  mod's or moderator's) control the channel they are on. They will be blue on each rooms list. The mods are in charge of running the room.  There are two ways to become a channel operator. First is by creating your own chatroom. (see above)  When you do this, the server sets you as the channel mod. The second way is to be selected by the room owner. It's a very good idea to NOT ask for moderator status, doing so just makes you seem like a pest.  Your best chance is to let the room owner notice that you are able to greet people that join the room and interact well with the other chatters.  Room owners like having courteous people manage their rooms.

Channel operators maintain control of the channel through the use of channel mode commands. These are commands that only channel operators have access to, and can be used to perform various functions on the channel.


only channel operators have access to the following functions

commands must have a / in front of each one.

/kick #room nickname reason - kicks them out of your room. (example: /kick #help joeblow flooder)

/ban nickname - ban a nick by their nick from the channel. They can't join your channel on that nickname. (example: /ban joeblow)

/services aop #room add nick - add a moderator to your permanent auto op list. Whenever they join it will make them an op instantly. (example: /services aop #help add joeblow) This can also be done by double clicking in the room and selecting the proper tab.

/services aop #room del nick - delete a mod from  your room list. (example: /services aop #help del joeblow) This can also be done by double clicking in the room and selecting the proper tab.

/services sop #room add nick - add another owner to your room list. Whenever they join it will make them an op instantly and give them the option to add other ops. (example: /services sop #help add joeblow) This can also be done by double clicking in the room and selecting the proper tab.

/services sop #room del nick - delete another owner from your room list. (example: /services sop #help del joeblow) This can also be done by double clicking in the room and selecting the proper tab.


Changing Text Color in the Chatroom

There are two steps to writing in colors. First, when in a chat room, you must press Ctrl and K at the same time on your keyboard, so a small box appears in your typing area. Each color is associated with a number, and you need to type the number corresponding to the color you want.

 

So if you wanted to write, Hi JoeBlow in red, here's what you would do. Hit Ctrl + K, then type the number 4, then type, Hi everyone! and hit enter.


Here's what you would type: 4Hi JoeBlow

Here's how it would look: Hi JoeBlow
Do NOT use  a space between the 4 and hi.

If you want to  add a background color to your text, after your number, simply add a comma, then the number of the color you want for your background. No spaces are needed.

Here's what you would type: 4,15Hi JoeBlow

It would appear like this:

Adding Color to your Room Greeting

If you have a registered chatroom and want your room greeting colored, all you need to do is type the small color code (box) into the chatroom but don't hit the enter key, then copy it ... then double click in the middle of your chatroom and a room settings box will pop up. Simply paste the (box) into the room greeting  area and use the numbers for the colors you want and type in for example "Welcome to JoeBlows Room". Refer to color instructions above.
