Our Chat Etiquette Guidelines

Do not "spam" the chat by typing nonsense or random letters.
Do not use aLtErnAtiNg characters.
Keep ALL CAPS use to a minimum, as it is considered yelling.
Keep in mind that our chat users are from all over the world, and, most likely, you will encounter people of different beliefs. Please be kind and polite to these people.
Do not direct profanity towards other members. In fact, try to steer clear of using profanity and/or swear words altogether.
Do not call other members by their real names that they may not appreciate. Use their nicknames instead.

Text formating for messages

You can put bold, italic or underlined text in messages by encasing the applicable sections of your text with either the , or tags.
For example, this text will produce this text.

To create a hyperlink (for e-mail or URL) in your message, simply type the corresponding address without any tag. The hyperlink will be created automatically.

Commands
All the commands must be used in English!
{} represents a required setting, [] an optional one.
/!
	Recall the previous text typed (command or message).
/away [message]
	Anounces the room and the users who try to send you messages that you are away from the computer. If you want to be back to chat, just start typing.
/ban [*] {user} [the reason]
	Allow the moderator(s) of a room or the administrator to "banish" a user from the room for a time defined by the administrator. The later can banish a user chatting in an other room than the one he is into and use the * setting to banish "forever" a user from the chat as the whole. Optionally, [the reason] displays the reason of banishment (any desired text).
/clear
	Clear the messages frame and show only the last 5 messages.
/dice [n] (dice v.1)
	A dice game for random/hazarduous numbers. Usage: /dice or /dice [n]; n can take any value between 1 and 6 (it represents the number of dice). If no number is entered, the default maximum dice will be used.
/{n1}d[n2] (dice v.2)
	This is a more complex version of the /dice command. Usage: /{n1}d[n2] or /{n1}d; n1 can take any value between 1 and 99 (it represents the number of dice per throws). n2 can take any value between 1 and 6 (it represents the number of sides per die).
/d{n1}[tn2] (dice v.3)
	This is a third (roleplaying) version of the dice rolling. Usage: /d{n1}[tn2] or /d{n1}; n1 can take any value between 1 and 100 (it represents the number of sides per die). n2 can take any value between 1 and 6 (it represents the number of dice per throw).
/high {user}
	It highlights the messages of a specific user for an easier reading across the conversations. Usage: /high {user} or press the small square on the right of the username (in the rooms/users list)
/ignore [-] [user[,user...]]
	Avoid diplaying messages from a user if nick is specified. Set ignoring off for a user when nick and - are both specified, for all users when - is but not nick. With no option, this command pops up a window that shows all ignored nicks.
/img {full path to the image to be posted}
	It allows posting of one single image as message. Usage: The picture has to be on the internet and free accessible by anyone. Don’t use pages that need login. Full image link must be typed! E.g./img http://ciprianmp.com/images/CIPRIAN.jpg Allowed extensions: .jpg .bmp .gif .png. The link is case sensitive! HINTS: type /img then a space and paste the URL into the box; to get the URL of an image from a webpage, when you right-click on the image, go to properties, then highlight the whole address/URL (sometimes needs to scroll down a bit) and copy/paste after the /img Don’t use pictures from your pc: it will just break the chat window!!!
/invite {user}
	Invite a user chatting in an other room join the one you are in.
/join [n] {#room}
	Join another room, creating it if it doesn’t exist and if you’re allowed to. n equals 0 for private and 1 for public, default to 1 if not specified.
/me {message} /mr {message}
	Describe what you’re doing without refer yourself. The second command does the same as /me but it will show your respective gender E.g. * Mr Ciprian is watching TV or Mrs Dana is happy.
/msg {user} {message} /to {user} {message}
	Send a private message to the specified user (other users won’t see it).
/notify
	Toggles notifications of user entrance/exit for the current room.
/profile
	Popup window for editing user’s profile.
/quit [message] /exit [message] /bye [message]
	Leave the chat after displaying an optionnal message.
/refresh [n]
	Modify messages and users lists refresh delay (in seconds). If n is not specified or less than 3, toggles between no refresh and 10s refresh.
/save [n]
	Save the last n messages (notifications ones excluded) to an HTML file. If n is not specified, all available messages will be taken into account.
/show [n] /last [n]
	Reload the messages frame and display the n latest messages, minimum and default are 5.
/size [n]
	Change the font size of the messages in chat to user choice (allowed values for n: between 7 and 15); the /size command resets the font size to the default value (10).

Color Picker

Usage:
You can select your own default color by editing your profile (the same color as your username color). You’ll still be able to use any other color. To change back to your default color from a random used one, you have to choose once the default color (Null) - it is the first one in the select list.

Hints:
Color Range
Depending on your browser/OS capabilities, it is possible that some of the colors won’t be rendered. Only 16 color names are supported by the W3C HTML 4.0 standard:

[ aqua - black - blue - fuchsia - gray - green - lime - maroon ]
[ navy - olive - purple - red - silver - teal - white - yellow ]

If a user claims he cannot see your selected color it means he is probably using an older browser.

Settings defined on this chat:
Current Settings on this server:
a) COLOR_FILTERS = Enabled;
b) COLOR_ALLOW_GUESTS = Enabled.
Default colors: Administrator = red, Moderators = blue, Other users = black.
Your status = Guest

Power levels of color usage:
1. Administrator can use any color.
The default color for the administrator is red.
2. Moderators can use any color but red and crimson.
The default color for moderators is blue.
3. The other users can use any color but red, crimson, blue and mediumblue.
The default color is black.

Technical stuff: These colors have been defined by the administrator in admin panel.
If anything goes wrong or if there is something you don’t like about the default colors, you should contact the administrator first, not the other users in your room. :-)
