Spanking Community’s Chat Server
Services Commands
This describes some common commands that can be used to control some
room and nickname functions of Spanking Community’s Chat Server.
IRC users will probably find the commands and concepts familiar, as they
are similar to those used on popular IRC networks.
The ChatSpace Community Server Java Client uses these commands
internally to control the server, so when using the Java Client,
knowledge of these command line Services commands is not necessary.
Registering a Nickname - This command registers your nickname.
TYPE:
/Services REGISTER yourNicknameHere yourPasswordHere
Registering a Room or Channel - This command is used to register
a room.
TYPE:
/Services REGISTER #yourRoomNameHere
Changing Your Password - This command can be used to change your
password.
TYPE:
/Services SET yourNicknameHere PASS newPasswordHere
Resetting a Password - The following command RESETS a nickname's
password such that it is identical to the nickname
TYPE:
/Services RESET yourNicknameHere
Using the Ghost Command
At times, you will find that you have lost your connection to the chat
server. When you try to get back onto the chat, you receive a message
informing you that the nickname is already in use. This is referred to
as being “GHOSTed”. You can use the following command to Kill the
GHOSTED nickname off the chat server so that you can sign on again.
TYPE:
/Services GHOST yourNicknameHere yourPasswordHere
Setting/Changing the Room Greeting
TYPE:
/Services SET #yourRoomNameHere GREET yourGreetingHere
Room Owner and Moderator Passwords
Normally, Owners and Moderators receive their status as soon as they
enter the room. This is because they are defined in the Room’s Members
list as having those statuses. In some circumstances, it may be
desirable to use passwords to obtain those statuses.
Room Owners (SOP)
TYPE:
/Services SET # yourRoomNameHere SOPPASS newPasswordHere
Room Ops (AOP)
TYPE:
/Services SET # yourRoomNameHere AOPPASS newPasswordHere
Note:
SOPpass refers to the room owner password; AOPpass refers to the room
moderator password
Adding/Deleting Room Owners and Room OPs
The following commands are to add an Owner (SOP) or a Moderator (AOP) to
your room’s members list.
Room Owners (SOP)
TYPE:
/Services SOP # yourRoomNameHere ADD yourNicknameHere
Room Ops (AOP)
TYPE:
/Services AOP # yourRoomNameHere ADD yourNicknameHere
Note:
To delete an AOP or SOP from a room substitute DEL in for ADD
Note: SOP refers to the room; AOP refers to the
room moderator
Using Memos
The following command checks to see if you have new
memos
TYPE:
/Services MEMO yourNicknameHere CHECK
To read a memo:
TYPE:
/Services MEMO yourNicknameHere READ 1
To delete a memo:
TYPE:
/Services MEMO yourNicknameHere DELETE 1
To send a memo to someone:
TYPE:
/Services MEMO ToNicknameHere ADD yourMemoTextHere
Advanced Technical Issues:
A. Connection Trouble
If you have trouble connecting to a chat site, several causes are
possible. These causes can be firewalls/proxies, poor Internet
connections or a problem in your Java environment.
Firewalls/Proxies
Firewalls and proxies are systems set up to protect your computer from
unwanted Internet intruders. Sometimes a firewall or proxy can prevent
access. While ChatSpace technology normally works perfectly well through
firewalls and proxies, the ChatSpace site that you are trying to access
must be set up to use firewall friendly ports, such as port 80. If you
are trying to access a site which is being blocked by your firewall, you
should contact the owner of the chat site and ask if firewall friendly
ports are being used.
Poor Internet Connections
Just as there are bad phone connections and noisy phone lines, there can
be bad Internet connections. These can cause your downloads and chats to
go slowly. They can also cause you to not be able to connect or to
disconnect frequently. If you are having connection problems or slow
downloads, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Java Problems
The Java support on your computer can sometimes stop working properly.
This can be due to a number of reasons. Often the quickest way to
resolve this is to download and install the very latest web browser
software (Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator), and the
latest Java Virtual Machine, which is the program that runs Java
software. Microsoft Internet Explorer can be downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie. Microsoft's latest Java Virtual
Machine can be downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/java. (http://www.info.apple.com/support/downloads.html
for Macintosh users).
B. Alternate Interfaces
In addition to the normal Spanking Community’s Java Client interface,
there are several alternate forms of access.
3X Browser Java Client
The 3X Browser Java Client is an older interface which can run on
systems running older web browser software. This Java client has fewer
features than the standard Java Client interface, but provides a client
option if you use an old web browser. If the standard Java Client fails
to load on your system, ChatSpace automatically attempts to load this
interface.
HTML Client
Several flavors of HTML Client are available for your use. These clients
range from a somewhat complex interface using both frames and
JavaScript, to an extremely simple interface. If the standard Java
Client and the 3X Browser Java Client fails to load on your system,
ChatSpace automatically attempts to load the HTML Client interface. To
reach this directly, add
/HCLIENT/FRAMES/ to the URL you use to access the chat site.
C. Sign in Error Messages
The following messages may be encountered when signing on, registering
or changing your nickname:
• Nickname is already in use.
The nickname that you entered cannot be used until either the member
leaves, changes nicknames or the reserved nickname is removed from the
system.
• Authorization required to use Registered nickname.
The nickname that you entered is registered, therefore a password must
be provided for use. If the password is unknown, choose another
nickname.
