Help:IRC

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Here's how to effectively use IRC:

Our IRC channels are #hrwiki, #hrwiki-fanstuff and #hrwiki-rc. They can be accessed through chat.hrwiki.org, although it is recommended that you use an IRC client.

Contents 1 Contacting an operator 2 General Commands 3 NickServ 4 MemoServ

Contacting an operator

If there is flooding, spamming, or another form of vandalism going on in #hrwiki or #hrwiki-fanstuff, it's best to contact an operator as soon as possible, so he can deal with the offender. Operators are sysops that also help take care of our IRC channels.
