<p>When you join a channel and see folks with the @ in front of their nickname,
|
|
this means that they are an Op, or Operator of the channel.</p>

<p>If you spend anytime on IRC at all, you'll begin to notice letters strung
|
|
together and not making any sense. As folks spend more time typing, they find
|
|
ways to shortcut certain phrases, or sentences.</p>

<p>There are certain rules of etiquette for chatting on IRC, usually called
|
|
'Netiquette', and if you'll follow a few rules of common courtesy, you'll find
|
|
your stay quite enjoyable. <strong>TYPING IN ALL CAPS</strong> is usually viewed as shouting,
|
|
and not recommended if you wish to continue to participate in a channel. Using
|
|
foul language, or being rude to others is also discouraged on most channels. If
|
|
you join a channel and find it offensive, simply leave, there are thousands of
|
|
others to choose from.</p>

<p>Chatting isn't the only thing we can do while using IRC. Folks can play sounds
|
|
that are in their computers already, or can get sounds from someone else by
|
|
requesting them. To play a sound, the command is <em>/sound wavename.wav</em>. There are
|
|
literally thousands of wavs available, which is the term used to describe a
|
|
sound file. Not all channels allow wavs to be played, so just hang out, or ask
|
|
one of the ops what their policy is on the playing of wavs.</p>

<p>Each IRC network can support thousands of users, but each user must have a
|
|
unique nickname. If somebody uses your nickname while you aren't connected,
|
|
you'll have no way of getting it back until they leave. If your favorite IRC
|
|
network runs a NickServ service, you should protect your nickname by
|
|
registering it.</p>

If you have a gripe with somebody on a newsgroup, the sensible thing to do is
|
|
to use private messages. This relieves everyone else from your arguing, and
|
|
that can only be a good thing. You can send a private message like so:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>/msg Dave You can't be serious</strong></p>
