------- BASIC STUFF ---------
BASIC COMMANDS
/me action -- this is the action command, it works just like the command in IRC.
/join #roomname -- this lets you join a room. The hashtag is required for rooms.
/pm username -- send a user a private message.
/ignore username -- Exactly What It Says On The Tin. You won't see any more of their messages afterward.
/tip username amount -- amount is a decimal amount you want to tip someone. Minimum tip amount is 0.25 mBTC.
FUN STUFF
You can set your own avatar! Click the Profile button at the top of the window. Max avatar sizes are 150 x 150 px and 10 MB.
TIPS AND RANDOM FACTS
You can type the first few letters of a user's name and then press TAB. Coinchat will automatically fill in the name for you!
Press the +NEW ROOM/PM button to see a list of the more popular rooms.
The payout script is pseudorandom -- it's randomized but has a spam/text speak filter. Text speak includes shorthand like lol, txt, random gibberish, things like that.
There is an auto-mute script on the site. If you set it off, please wait a few seconds between posting messages and be sure to not post the same message over and over again.
To see a list of active mods, you can go to #mods.
------- NETWORK-WIDE RULES -----------
Do not spam anywhere on the Coinchat server. Spam includes, but is not limited to:
Copypasta
Gibberish
Messages strictly about you earning mBTC, ex. "If I type a message over 40 characters, I'll get paid. Ooh, I got 0.01 mBTC!"
Talking to yourself in other rooms or posting messages over and over with no one to read them
Advertising where it isn't allowed
Do not flood any of the rooms
All bots must have the word "bot" in their name
Do not mute or ban evade. To dispute a ban please email the admin at: admin@glados.cc
Do not do anything illegal on the server, discussion of illegal activities is allowed to a certain point (i.e. drugs). Obviously anything that could get the site in trouble isn't allowed.
------- RULES FOR #OFFTOPIC AND #LOBBY --------
Three of the rooms in Coinchat are actively moderated, they're #offtopic and #lobby. They are often a user's first impression of Coinchat so they're moderated more strictly than the rest of the site. You can create and set your own rules in your own rooms as long as they don't break the network rules.
RULES
Network rules apply.
Don't post NSFW stuff (NSFW means Not Safe For Work).
NO REFERRAL LINKS. That includes coinURL links and the like. You can post such links in #reflinks and #links.
Do NOT beg or ask for tips in either room. To do that, you can go to #begging.
You can post links to your own websites, but you can only do so once a day.
No trolling or flamewars.
If a mod asks you to drop a subject, please do so.
Bots are NOT allowed in #offtopic and only certain bots are allowed in #lobby.
Do not use hate words -- racial and anti-gay slurs, sexist names, things like that.
------- WHITELISTING AND PAYMENT LEVELS -------
To be whitelisted means you're a normal user. You get the normal rate of pay (twice as much as an unwhitelisted user). Your name also won't be in italics anymore. Certain rooms require that you be whitelisted to use their services, like #thefaucet.
How to get whitelisted:
DO NOT ask to be whitelisted, mods aren't supposed to whitelist people who whine and beg for it.
Hang around the main rooms, #newbie, #offtopic and #lobby where the mods usually skulk about.
Talk about actual stuff with other people and do NOT spam or cause trouble.
Keep doing this for a while (usually within a couple of hours, max a day or so), and you'll be whitelisted.
The payment levels on Coinchat are:
unwhitelisted (0.5x as much)
whitelisted (1.0x as much)
promoted(2.0x as much)
To be promoted, you have to either be a regular who's been here a while or contribute to Coinchat in a positive way (be very helpful to newbies, build a bot, whatever)
------- WITHDRAWALS --------
You need a minimum of 5 mBTC to withdraw.
You also need to sign up for an Inputs.io account.
When you have both, just click the Withdraw button, put in the amount you want to take out, then put in your inputs.io email and congratuations, you've gotten paid.
Withdrawal fees are based on a sliding scale.
-------- BOTS ---------
Bots must have a separate account with "bot" in its name.
Bots can NEVER post messages unprompted.
The only exception to that rule is that they can post an ad in their own room only once an hour.
All bots have to be written in node.js.
--------- ADVANCED STUFF ----------
ROOM CREATION
To create a room, simply join it. If you're the first person inside, you own the room. :) You must always make sure at least one person is inside, because if no one is in a room it's automatically destroyed.
ROOM COMMANDS:
/kick username and /unkick username -- bans and unbans a person from a room, respectively.
/listop -- gives a list of all operators in the room. A room owner is an operator.
/op username and /deop username -- sets a person as an op and removes op status from a user.
