Help:Chat

Chat Now

The chatroom is meant to be a safe place to hang out and enjoy yourself while chatting about anything. When you first enter, you'll automatically join the mariowiki 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.
• Smilies. We have several smilies, including Mario-themed smilies. See the table below for a list of them all and the code to input to have them appear in your messages.
• Private chatting. 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:

• /j #[roomname] – join another room by opening another tab on the top row, with #[roomname] being one of the following:

Template:Roomlist

• /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 (/me goes away results in * [Username] goes away 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 ↑
  • 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, 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.

Rules

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

No flaming, racist comments, cursing or being inappropriate in any type of way. Some chatters are young and we want them to feel safe. For wiki members, do not use any other nickname on the chat but your own username, or your nickname. This includes impersonating another's username, or keeping the default WikiGuest name. No clones. Also known as sockpuppets, clones are not allowed. No spam in any such way. This includes anything from saying random gibberish to repeating the same message over and over again, or even any type of stupid pointless annoying message. No user-created scripts or bots. If a rule is not followed a kick will be issued, disconnnecting you from #mariowiki and forcing you to rejoin. If actions continue another kick will follow. If you still break a rule for a third time you will be banned for a day, further bans may last longer at the discretion of the chat ops (see below).

Operators (identified by the @ next to thier name) are in place to kick or ban unruly users. Sysops and other trusted users will be allowed operator status
