使用說明:IRC

ShoutWiki's IRC channel is #ShoutWiki on irc.shoutwiki.com. You can access it by going into irc.shoutwiki.com. ShoutWiki的IRC頻道是Customer Support Team members are often on the channel, so it is one of the best ways of getting help.

Accessing the server

To access our IRC server, you will need an IRC client. An IRC client is a program that you need to download to access IRC servers, such as our server or freenode, for example. While downloading an IRC client is strongly recommended, it is not a must-have. If you do not have an IRC client or are unable/unwilling to download one, you can use our CGI:IRC gateway at irc.shoutwiki.com.

CGI:IRC

CGI:IRC's default settings are usually OK - you'll want to change your IRC nickname from "SWnnn" (where n = some randomly chosen number) into a more descriptive one. Please remember that IRC does not allow spaces in nicknames, but you'll need to use underscores instead. For example, Jack Phoenix would not be allowed as an IRC nick, but Jack or Jack_Phoenix would be.

IRC client

Not all IRC clients are equal. While some older ones, such as mIRC, might be popular, they might not be a sensible choice in today's IRC world. You'll most likely want a client that supports UTF-8 encoding. Good modern IRC clients include, but are not limited to the following:

• XChat — the official Windows build is shareware, but unofficial builds are free.
• ChatZilla — not a separate IRC client per se, but rather an extension to the popular Mozilla Firefox browser.
• Opera — the Opera browser has a built-in IRC client.

IRC Commands and Modes

The following are some common commands and modes that you may encounter while on IRC. If you have questions about something that is not on the list, please ask in the #ShoutWiki channel and someone will be able to assist you.

Alerting staff

Typing "@staff [message]" on a channel will alert online ShoutWiki staff members to that channel, with the message if one is provided. The "@staff" must start the line, or else it will not notify staff members.

Banning

Occasionally, you may wish to block a user from joining or speaking in your channel. There are multiple ways to do this, outlined below.

Note that these "flags" may be used for the +e mode as well, to give exemptions to people for specific bantypes.

Syntax	Name	Description
MODE +b <nick!user@host>	Ban	Prevents the user from joining the channel. If they are already on the channel, they may not speak unless they have voice access or above
MODE +b ~q:<nick!user@host>	Quiet	Prevents the user from speaking unless they have voice access or above. The /QUIET command may be used as an alias for this (see /HELPOP quiet for more information about that)
MODE +b ~n:<nick!user@host>	Nickchange	Prevents the user from changing his/her nick unless they have voice access or above
MODE +b ~c:[prefix]<channel>	Channel	Prevents users on the specified channel, or users with access according to prefix or above on the specified channel, from joining this one
MODE +b ~r:<realname>	Realname	Prevents users with matching realnames from joining
MODE +b ~f:<channel>:<nick!user@host>	Forward	Users banned from this channel will be forwarded to the specified one instead
MODE +b ~S:<channel>	Sync	If a user is banned in the specified channel, they will be banned in this one as well. This does not copy the other channel's banlist to yours, so changes made to their banlist after the sync will affect your channel as well
