MikeeBoi's Guide to Guild Chat!

LW Chatroom!

Here's a quick how-to to IRC newbies to get up and running.. or chatting.. whatever works for you... or if you have a laptop, do both.. don't blame me if you break it though ^^

First, you need 2 register a nickname; you can do this 2 ways:

Easiest way to regester a nickname, here

Harder way = Go into the chat, as any name (other than guest), go into the nickserv panel, and click register nick, pick a pass and email, and done. DO NOT MESS WITH THE OTHER SETTINGS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, and unless you're a UOP or higher, you won't be able to do them anyway, and half don't work anyway


Then go to the guild chat room, log in using the name and password you used to register, like any sane person would do, then start chatting


Numerous options are available in the commands pull-down menu, involving avatar, images, buddy list and more
(some panels are only available to AOP's and SOPS (Automatic operators (mods) and Super operators (Super mods... who would have guessed?)

To start a personal chat with a person, double click their name.
To ignore a person, go into the ignore panel and add there nickname.

Moderators have a @ before their name, Super moderators or the founder (Me) have a red.. spider.. thing.. next to the @
if you want to be a moderator, you'll have to discuss it with me and Aegis, as, I might own the chat, I don't own the guild xD


You can change font colour, underlining etc.. just by clicking the colour.. dont click loads, or it sometimes messes up
For custom settings, use the Session Information command pull-down, although, I do NOT recommend messing with these unless you know what they all mean.

After a week I will be requesting a Bot for the room (room needs to be a week old) so it will have flood and swear filters on it.
Please avoid excessive swearing and flooding in the room, as when the bot comes in, you can't avoid it.

I have set it so that the sounds are mod and permission only, to avoid sound-spam, if you wish to use the sounds, you'll have to ask an operator online in the chat, abuse of the sounds will results in you losing them, simple

Hope you all enjoy the chat

Guild Chat Rules

I know, I know...we all hate 'em, and I know you guys are very well-behaved, but it doesn't hurt to get a solid foundation built.

1. Be courteous. Just because it's a live chat, that doesn't give you the right to be rude or harass other members.

2. Keep cursing to a minimum. To be honest, swearing doesn't bother me at all, but it might be offensive to others, so just don't do it.

3. Have fun. You must. No choice. twisted

4. No killing each other <--rule implenented due to first chat whee

5. Use common sense

Mod Rules

1. To become a Mod, basic knowledge of IRC chatting is a must. I'm clueless to it, so I'm already a detriment to modship.

2. I may mod-you-up at any point if I have to run off from the chat; if I do this, it'll most likely stick to ya unless you abuse it.

Who May Enter--Important!

Feel free to invite friends from other guilds as well as those who aren't even on Gaia. Actually, please invite them. Just keep in mind the subject matter. If someone isn't into psionics and the occult, please don't invite them.
