Colloquy - Best for macs
Terms:
Voice - means you can talk if someone with power changes the channel mode to +m (moderated). It is commonly shown with the symbol +
Halfop - Bit of power. Can kick and ban and change the topic, can't change channel modes. We're not going to use these so this is basically a meaningless title. It is commonly shown with the symbol %
Op - Can do everything a halfop can do but also can change modes. It is commonly shown with the symbol @
Keep in mind that mibbit handles symbols differently so those symbols should only apply if you're accessing the chat from a different client
Rules:
- Please set your nickname to something recognizeable, we want people to know who you are! If your nickname isn't recognizeable we won't give you autovoice. You can still get voice from admins/ops/halfops in the chat at the time though
- Register your nickname so we can set you up with auto-voice whenever you join. Just ask an op/admin and we'll get around to it.
- Be respectful. If you're not respectful we will not kick you, but rather take away your voice and moderate the channel so you are unable to speak.
- Have fun! This is a chat for you to mess around, talk about anything and everything, or just drop in and say hi. Be friendly and everyone will be friendly right back!
How to register a nickBefore you join, set your nickname to something recognizeable, like for example JohnTopping (if your name is john topping)
If you joined as a mib or guest or any other pre-assigned name, change your nickname with the command /nick nicknamehere
Keep in mind that the nicknames registered expands across the entire rizon network, not just our little chat, so don't be surprised if your name is already taken!
Upon entering the chat type out this /msg NickServ register password valid@email.address
Replace password with your desired password, this is what you'll be using to confirm that you are that user, and as a result gain any benefits that come with it (auto-voice, auto-op, etc)
Replace valid@email.address with whatever e-mail you are currently using. It should give you a message telling you to type something along the lines of /msg NickServ confirm [string]. Just enter that into the chat and you're confirmed!
Ask an op or admin for auto-voice, so you're always guaranteed to be able to speak.
Once you have a registered nickname, whenever you are entering the chat hit the AUTH button above the area you enter your name and connect. Enter your password and it should immediately authorize you.
If the link isn't workingIf this happens you'll find yourself on the main connection screen on mibbit, where you'll see a couple boxes that say Nick and channel.
Just change the nick to something recognizeable, and set the channel to #vancouverstuck.
Change the drop down menu from Mibbit to Rizon, and you should be able to connect by hitting the connect button just below!
If you accidentally exit the channel, you are able to rejoin by typing this into any chat /join #vancouverstuck
