Channel 1 is the server help channel. Admins and other helpful,
knowledgeable users monitor channel 1 and are ready to assist you. (Use chan
2 for a discussion about server issues.)
If you need assistance about something but don't know whom to contact, ask
your question on channel 1. Here's the procedure:
- Type the following lines:
+chan 1 | [this will turn channel 1 on for you] |
tell 1 Can someone help me? | [this sends the message to channel 1] |
- Watch your screen for someone asking you what help you need. You may be
contacted directly (in a personal tell) or through channel 1 itself (so
everyone can listen to the discussion and help out).
- If you want to continue talking on channel 1, type:
tell 1 <message> | | [everyone on channel 1 will hear you] |
- When you are done, you can either stay on channel 1, in order to help
others and/or learn from their questions, or turn off channel 1 by typing:
-chan 1 | | [this will set channel 1 to off for you] |
To see who is listening to channel 1 at any given moment, type "inch 1". A
list will appear.
