Using Chat Abbreviations
np = no problem
yw = you're welcome
ty = thank you
wb = welcome back
brb = be right back
bbs = be back soon
bbl = be back later
bbiab = be back in a bit
lol = laughing out loud.
rofl = rolling on floor laughing
cya = good bye or "See You"
a/s/l = age/sex/location
You may see some variations of these, in which case you may need to ask the person who used it.
How will I know when someone is whispering to me?
When someone whispers to you, a box (or window) should appear seperate from your other windows, if you talk into this box/window only the
person who you are talking to can see your text. If you want to whisper to someone, just click twice on their name on the channel user list, or use this syntax:
/MSG Nickname <text here>
Example: /msg Marlboro_Man Hey Baby!!
What is an Action?
Actions allow you to express yourself with actions or emotions. To do an action, use this syntax:
/me <action here>
For example, if No0nesAngel wants others in the chat room to know she is laughing, it will make her appear as though she is actually acting it out.
Example: "/me is laughing" will show like..
* No0nesAngel is laughing
Note: each IRC shows actions in differnt ways.. Mirc has a *.. Pirch show an Action button .. WebTV shows it in italics.
What is the Ignore feature for?
The Ignore feature lets you block the messages that another person in the chat room sends or "whispers." This is especially useful
when another chatter is directing unwanted messages at you. You can ignore as many other chatters as you want. To add someone to your ignore list, use the following syntax:
/SILENCE +Nick
To remove someone from your ignore list, use:
/SILENCE -Nick
General Questions:
What is a IRCop?
IRCops (also known as IRC Operators) are volunteers who monitor the network, helping out chatters and
keeping users informed of policies. They are responsible for creating and keeping a friendly and fun atmosphere
on the network, so they have the power to keep away from chat users who break our Code of Conduct,
and to prevent such trouble makers from coming back, if needed. IRCops also answer questions in #Help.
Can I be an IRCop?
Chances are if you ask for this postion.. you are NOT the type of person an IRC network is looking for. Most IRCops
are approached.. and did not seek the position.
How do I get help with a technical problem?
If you don't find the answers you need in these
Frequently Asked Questions, you can go to our #Help chatroom, Forums or e-mail us
How can I send comments and suggestions?
We want your online Chat experience to be as fun,
easy, and useful as possible, so we care what you think. If you'd like to share your
impressions, comments, or suggestions, please E-mail Us.
What can I do if I was kicked out of or banned from a chat room unfairly?
InfinityChat is a chat network, which means that
users are free to create and control their own chat rooms. When you join a member-created
chat, you are in effect agreeing to abide by whatever rules the chat host sets for his or
her room. Getting kicked out of a member-created chat room is much like getting kicked out
of someone's house there is little that you can do about it.
