(Action-Identify)
ACTION 
Format: /action text
This will preface any text with your nickname and in most cases use a different color for the message than a normal text color. As an example if my nickname were john when I typed '/action says he's happy' it would come out as 'John says he's happy.'
/me Is The Exact Same Thing As /action
Examples:
/action is hungry
/me is hungry
Adds emphasis into certain comments.
ADMIN
Format: /admin server name
Retrieves administrative information about the chat server you are currently using. Often provides an email address for the server administrator and tells which server administrators are online for that server. If the server name is omitted, then this command will provide information about the server to which you are connected.
Examples:
/admin irc.webmaster.com
/admin glass.*
/admin
This is a useful command for users who run into any problems on the chat network. The information listed with the admin command should provide at least one method for contacting someone who can help.
AKILL
Format: /akill nick!user@host reason time
This will place a kline on all servers that are connected to your server, thus preventing someone from logging into the entire network. You can use the nick for a user who is currently on the chat network and the network will akill that user's address. You must include a reason for the command to work. Note: If a server is split off when the akill is placed, it will not be present on that system. To get a list of akills on your server do a /stats k and look for the lines that are prefixed with A: instead of K:. See rakill and unakill to remove an akill. Akills must end with either text, or the time param.
Example:
/akill lamer@pm02.digex.net spamming 50
/akill Rachel flooding
An akill is a way of banning someone from the chat network. It is a last resort when warnings and kills did not keep the person from misbehaving. An akill works basically the same way that a room ban works, except that it prevents someone from logging into the network rather than from just joining a room.
AWAY
Format: /away message
The system will automatically send this message to anyone trying to message you. The message will also show in your information if someone does a whois on you. It is often used to tell people that you are away from your computer. If you no longer wish to be seen as away, then simply type /away with no message and the away message will no longer be displayed.
Example:
/away I am away from my computer
/away
If you will be logged onto the chat network, but not actually reading text from it, then you should mark yourself as away. If you do not mark yourself as away then people may try to speak with you and be offended when you do not reply. You can also use it if you are staying active but do not want to reply to private messages. For example, some people will set their away message to something like "Please talk to me in the room, I am busy and not replying to private messages."
CFLASH
Format: /cflash #room message
This will send a newsflash to all of the users who are +n in the specified room.
Example:
/cflash #Chat Welcome nikb to our SOP team.
This can be used to send newsflashes that only go to people in a particular room. It is mostly useful if you are running an event or meeting in a room and want to add newsflashes about particular information that relates.
CHANSERV
Format: /chanserv commands
An alias for /msg chanserv so that you can send ChanServ commands with less typing.
Example:
/chanserv info #ConferenceRoom
/cs info #ConferenceRoom
/msg chanserv info #ConferenceRoom
Any chanserv command can be sent with /chanserv /cs or /msg chanserv
CHATOPS
Format: /chatops message
Sends a notice to all network operators that are set +b.
Example:
/chatops Where are we meeting?
Exactly how these are used can be determined by network policies, but while globops are generally reserved for very important communications, chatops generally have looser standards. More social chatter is acceptable and less vital questions can be asked there. Only opers see these messages, so there is less need to worry about the content of the messages. Watching chatops should be voluntary, so that busy opers can stop watching them. Anything truly vital should be in globops.
CLEAR
Format: /clear
This will clear out your channel window and history buffer so that any text will be erased.
Examples:
/clear
To be used when you have confidential information that you do not want to share with others that might be able to view your screen.
CLEARAKILLS
Format: /clearakills
This will remove all the global klines or akills from your server. This command does not affect any other servers.
Example:
/clearakills
It tends to be a good idea to remove akills after a while. The person it was set to ban may have either reformed or stopped trying to log in. Any innocent people who may have matched the ban will not be able to join and chat until the ban is removed.
CLOSE
Format: /close
This command will close your /stats U unknown connections to your server.
Example:
/close
You normally won't need to close these connections, but if your server is accumulating a large number of unknown connections, then you may want to clear them al off so that other users can join.
CONNECT
Format: /connect connecting-server port destination-server
Connects a server to another server. The servers at both ends of the connection being established must have defined each other properly in order for this command to succeed. The first server you type in is the split server, the second server is usually the hub server.
Example:
/connect server1 6667 server2
You can use this command to connect any split server with any server on the part of the network you are still connected to. However, unless the servers are configured to connect and one of them is a hub, it will not work. You should be familiar with where the servers on your network usually connect before you try to connect two servers. Bad routing will create a slower network that is more likely to split.
DIE
Format: /die
This command will stop ConferenceRoom. Unless you are running ConferenceRoom as a service, it will not start up again. If you use this command by mistake you can always go to the Web Configuration panel and start ConferenceRoom from the Home tab. If you do not have configuration access, you probably should be very carefull using this command.
Example:
/die
This command is a good way to close ConferenceRoom because the program will make sure to close down neatly and save its current configuration. If you simply kill or stop ConferenceRoom from the Operating System you might lose your most recent changes.
EMBED
Format: /embed
This will embed a floating applet back into the browser.
Examples:
/embed
FJOIN
Format: /fjoin nick #room
This will force a user into the specified room.
Example:
/fjoin John #conferenceroom
This can be a way to send someone who needs help to the proper room, especially if they are having trouble joining rooms. However, it can be disorienting to find yourself in a room you didn't intentionally join. It is often a good idea to inform the user of what you are doing.
FLOAT
Format: /float
This will launch your java applet onto your desktop.
Examples:
/float
This can be handy when you want to position the chat client without the extra bulk of the browser.
FURL
Format: /furl nick url
This command will force a user's browser to open and view an URL. This will only work on java users.
Example:
/furl John http://www.webmaster.com/update.htm
This can also be disorienting, and it is best to warn users of what you are doing. However, it can be useful for a presentation or to send users to a help site.
GET
Format: /get nickname field
This command is used to get requested Field data.
Examples:
/get Jennifer Avatar
GLOBOPS
Format: /globops message
Sends a message to all opers that are user mode +g. This command is usually used for network wide communication between opers for details that concern the entire network.
Example:
/globops The event is going to start in ten minutes
Globops should be reserved for important communications that most opers will need to see. If globops get too cluttered then it will make it difficult for opers to do other things and read globops. Less important communciations can be sent through chatops, which some opers may choose not to read.
HELPOP
Format: /helpop message
This will give the HelpServ help file for a command if a server command is sent, if HelpServ has no information then the message is sent to everyone who is +h so that they can help the user.
Example:
/helpop Where can I go for help?
/helpops Where can I go for help?
HIDETICKER
Format: /hideticker
This command will prevent the scrolling message at the bottom of the Java client from scrolling. The scrolling message is called the ticker.
Example:
/hideticker
This command may be disabled by the person running the server. But if it works then it will stop the ticker at whatever point you send the command. The showticker command will reverse this and start the ticker scrolling again.
IDENTIFY
Format: /identify nick password
This command is an alias for /msg nickserv identify. You can use it to identify for your current nickname by sending just your password or for any specified nickname by sending that nick and its password.
Example:
/identify Surel MyP4ss
This is a simpler and more secure way to identify, since you are less likely to have a typo send the command to the wrong person.
