Help:Chat

 Chat Now 

The chatroom is meant to be a safe place to hang out and enjoy yourself while chatting about anything (as long as you are following the rules). When you first enter, you'll automatically join the #unmario channel.

You are now ready to chat! You have some customization options:
 * Text colors. Left-click on a color on the right to make it your text color, right-click on another color to make it your background color.
 * Private chatting. Also known as private messages or query, you can double-click on a user's name in the right-hand side to talk to him or her alone. It will appear in a separate tab on the bottom row.

Here are a few of the many commands you can use in the chat:
 * /join #[roomname] – join another channel (IRC terminology for 'room') by opening another tab on the top row, with #[roomname] being the name of the room.
 * /nick [nickname] – another way of changing your name
 * /query [username] – a fancy way of opening a private-message tab.
 * /me [blah blah] – a fancy way of referring to yourself/doing an action(/me eats pie. results in * [Username] eats pie. in a purple-colored font)
 * /msg NickServ OR /ns +
 * REGISTER [password] [email] – how to make sure no one can impersonate you. Everytime you change your nick, you must identify yourself &uarr;
 * IDENTIFY [password] – if you registered your name, this is how you enter your password
 * SET password [new password] – if you want to change your password, this is how you do it. You must identify yourself first.
 * KILL [nickname] [password] – if you fail to enter your name within the time limit, or another is posing as you, this is what you do to get your name back.
 * DROP [password] – if you want to unregister your nick, this is how you drop it. Note that any nick not used for 30 days will be auto-dropped.
 * /clear – delete all text from the chat window.
 * /ignore [username] – Makes the chat not display any messages from the given username. Useful if someone is spamming.
 * /unignore [username] – Reverses the effect of /ignore.
 * /away [away message] – Sets your nick as away, and will display that message to anyone querying you.
 * /away – Reverses the effect of /away as long as there is no message following it.

Rules
There are a few restrictions we must institute to prevent any trouble.

Channel Operators, Chanops, or simply ops (identified by the @ next to thier name) are in place to kick or ban users that are breaking the rules. Sysops and other trusted users will be operators.
