| Q: How can I connect on ChatNet
? |
| A: First of all, depending
on the Operating System you use, you need to install and configure a
chat client. A list of clients can be found in the
software page. Finally, you can use ChatNet's DNS pool
irc.chatnet.org on ports 6660 - 6669 to connect on one of our
current full linked servers. After connecting to the server it's
recommended that you read the server's Message Of The Day with the
command /motd. The motd is a document containing administrative and
network information such as rules, guidelines, help channels etc. To
get a list of the active channels type /list, to list speciffic
channel names type /list *<text>* e.g. you need to find a bot
loaning channel, the command would be /list *bot*. To join a channel
type /join #<channelname> e.g. /join #ircfun. |

now ? |

Users affected by akills can copy the
actual akill message you get uppon connecting to the server and mail

users affected by these can contact the
admins of the server they were banned from. |

| A:
The ChatNet
abuse committee handles these issues. Their channel on ChatNet
is #abusecom. |
| |
| Q: Someone REALLY annoying keeps
private messaging me. What can I do ? |
| A: You can either use your
chat client's ignore option (consult your chat client manual for
more information) or use the server silence command. Nicknames added
to your silence list wont be able to message you. Usage example of
the /silence command: |
| Syntax: /silence
<+-nickname> |
| The + sign adds the given nickname
to your silence list while the - sign removes the nickname if it is
in the list. To display all nicknames added to your silence list,
simply type /silence. The silence command supports wildcards and
nick!user@host ignoring too. |
| Example1:
/silence +ircfreak (adds ircfreak
nickname to your silence list) |
| Example2:
/silence -ircfreak (removes ircfreak
nickname from your silence list) |
| Example3: /silence +*!*@*.internet.com
(adds the *!*@*.internet.com mask to your silence list - anyone
matching this mask will be blocked from messaging you) |
| Example4: /silence -*!*@*.internet.com
(removes the given nick!user@host mask from your silence list) |
| |
| If you still have questions contact
help@chatnet.org. |
