Help:Chat

Chat Now

The chatroom is meant to be a safe place to hang out and enjoy yourself while chatting about the wiki. When you first enter, you'll automatically join the mariowiki channel, #mwchat.

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

# mwchat rules
Channel Operators (identified by the @ or a star next to their name on the wiki's applet) are in place to kick or ban unruly users. Trusted users will be allowed operator status.

Commands
You are now ready to chat! You have some customization options:
 * Text colors. Click on the 'Colours' tab on the bottom of the chat screen to select a text color.  Alternatively, you can use the command /style [number] [number] to choose a text color and background, and the command /style to reset the color back to black with no background color, and you can use /style bold to make all of your words bold and /style underline to underline all of your sentence.  For example: /style bold 4 2  will give you a bold red font with a blue background.   You can see the full list of commands right here.
 * Bold, underline, italics. Using the Mibbit client, individual words can be bold/italicized/underlined, and can be used for emphasis.  To bold, use * around the word – *bold*.  To italicize, use / around the word – /italics/.  To underline, use _ around the word – _underline_.
 * Private chatting. Click on a user's name in the right-hand side and select "PM" to talk to him or her alone.  It will appear in a separate tab on the bottom row.
 * Translation. As we are a multi-cultural community, there is the chance that someone does not know English, or be very good with it.  The Mibbit chat provides a Translation tool.  To use it, click the 'Translation' tab on the bottom of the chat screen to select which language you see and/or which language people see from you.  If used correctly, this tool can allow users to be speaking completely different languages, but still be able to understand each other.

Here are a few of the many commands you can use in the chat: Here are some commands that an op can use:
 * /j #[roomname] – join another room by opening another tab on the top row, with #[roomname] being the name of the channel you want to join.
 * /nick [nickname] – Another way of changing your name.
 * /query [username] – A fancy way of opening a private-message tab.
 * /me [action] – A fancy way of referring to yourself (/me goes away results in * [Username] goes away in a red-colored font).
 * /away [message] – Marks you as being away, with an optional message stating why you are away. This status will automatically be removed when you say something. If a user's nick is coloured in grey, then that user is away.
 * /whois [Username] – Let's you view information about a user.  This information can include what chatrooms a user is in, if they are away or not, if they are identified, and their hostmask.
 * /whowas [Username] – Allows you to view the hostmask of a user who has recently left the network.
 * /quit [message] – Quits your current chat session with an optional departure message.
 * /part – Another way to quit your chat session, without an optional message.
 * /msg NickServ OR /ns +
 * REGISTER [password] [email] – How to make sure no one can impersonate you, as well as we allow you to be added to the access list and create your own channels.
 * VERIFY REGISTER [nick] [verification code] – Be sure to verify your nick following the instructions Darkmyst sends out to your email in order to complete registration.
 * IDENTIFY [password] – If you registered your name, this is how you enter your password to log in.
 * SET password [new password] – If you want to change your password, this is how you do it. You must identify yourself first.
 * 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.
 * GHOST [nick] [password] OR KILL [nick] [password] – Disconnects an old user session or someone using your nick.
 * VACATION – Puts your nick on vacation, meaning that it triples the time your nick can be inactive from the normal 30 days to 90 days. As soon as you identify using "/msg NickServ IDENTIFY [password]" OR "/ns IDENTIFY [password]" NickServ will automatically remove the vacation status of your nick, decreasing the time it can be inactive to the usual 30 days.
 * /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 or bothering you.  This can also be done by clicking the User's name and selecting "Ignore".
