Chat channels allow you to communicate with certain people. Only the other people inside the channel will be able to hear your text. If you are the owner or an operator of the channel you have additional abilities such as being able to kick or ban users from the channel.
1. General Commands
To join or create a channel, simple type:
/join <name>
If it is a new channel, it will be created automatically. Once joined, you will get an ID for the channel. There are some arguments and options that you can apply when using this command. They are:
-setpass, -sp <password>
This will set the password for the channel if you end up creating it. No one will be able to join unless they know the password. (Ex. /join passchannel -setpass hidden)
-hide, h
This will make the channel hidden from the /chlist command. If hidden, it will only show up if you are a member of the channel.
-password, -pass, -p <password>
This supplies a password when joining the channel, if a password is required. If not entered correctly, you will not be able to join the channel.
To leave a channel:
/leave <id or name>
You can either use the channel's ID, or its name.
To see all channels currently created, or to view the members of an existing channel, use the following command:
/chlist [ID or channel name]
Just typing /chlist by itself will show all chat channels in existence on Innectis. Hidden channels you are not a member of do not show up on this list. When supplied with a channel ID or name will show all members of the channel, even if they are offline. The owner is represented by a pink asterisk next to their name.
To view information on a specified channel use the following command:
/channel (/ch) <channel name> -info, -informatoin
This will displays name of channel, the ownerowner, if it's hidden or not, channel password, and list of channel operators. This can only be used by members of the channel.
To talk in a channel, type a forward-slash, followed by the channel ID, followed by your message. Example:
/1 hey guys
You can be in up to 20 channels at once.
To view a list of your own channels, type the following:
/chanlist -mychans
This shows a list of all channels that you are currently in.
2. Channel Moderation
