| The coding for the applet AND instructions are pretty much how I found them at the
Norn Underground, so, thank you LummoxJR for posting instructions on your site. |
| Okay, for those of you who are new at this sort of thing, I suggest you read the rules posted underneath the chat window.
It's VERY important as these rules are there to keep the chat pleasant and safe for all ages. There are some
common emotes available here along with some commonly used
abbreviations here. If you don't want to scroll down, I've made a page just with the rules.
Or go to the Official rules.
All will open in new windows. |

Rooms
JRchat currently has two rooms, though additional can be created as needed by
a SysOp:
- Creatures - Creatures, Creatures 2, Creatures 3, Creatures Village and Docking Station chat, and pretty much
anything related to it.
- Creatures RPG - Some users like to play-act as Norns and
whatnot, so LummoxJR made this room especially for that purpose.
Guidelines and Netiquette
Unlike ICE chat, this chat does have operators who will, when
present, keep things orderly. Go ahead and chat freely, but just remember
that manners count. These are some important things you should know:
- Don't scroll. Scrolling is when a person types line
after line of garbage, or makes extremely long lines of text which wrap
around and take up several lines. Either way, the text scrolls up, making
it hard for people to read. For such an offense, an op may kick or gag
without warning. (There are more borderline cases, with long lines that
don't wrap around, but are still much longer than they need to be. Lines
like "Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
are like that, and can be considered scrolling also.)
- Please watch the language. Most people are
good about this, but it's important. Pretty much anything PG-rated is
fine, but true vulgarity is another matter.
- Don't shout constantly. Shouting is when a user types in ALL
CAPITAL LETTERS. IT'S VERY ANNOYING. PEOPLE GET SICK OF IT FAST. It's
okay to emphasize a single word now and then that way, but just don't
shout all the time.
- No stat questions, please. This means things like "How old are you?",
"What sex?", "Where do you live?", etc. To a certain extent a question
put to someone you know, or done via private message, is all right, but
don't ask general "Age/sex everyone?" questions.
- Don't poll. Polling is a question like "If you like dogs press
1"--anything that asks a question of everyone in the room and demands a
specific response. Polling is annoying beyond belief. One of the reasons
stat questions are so despised is that they are a form of polling.
- Never, EVER impersonate. It shouldn't take a genius to figure out what
Impersonation is. It's logging in under the name of, or similar to, someone else
you've seen in chat, such as an Op or a well known member of the community.
Doing so will get you kicked.
Quite possibly for good. Don't say you haven't been warned. This rule is
taken extremely seriously.
- Asking for links. There's no rule against it and we welcome you into chat.
I'm just leaving a shortcut to my links page
to save you time if someone in chat mentions one that I have. It should open in a new window.

Commands and how to use them
Most of the commands are similar to the ones used in ICE and IRC, but here's the
list.
| Regular commands |
|---|
| .quit | Leaves the chat. This command isn't necessary to log
out. |
| .join <room> | Joins a room. Unlike in ICE, you cannot
create your own rooms--you must join an existing room. |
| .me <action> | Emote. .me looks around will become Bob looks
around. Please do not over use this in the main room. Save it for Creatures RPG |
| .msg <name(s)> <message> | Send private message;
separate names with commas, but no spaces, for multiple messages at
once. eg. .msg Joe Hi Joe! will be sent to Joe. Joe will see [From Bob] Hi Joe!
and you'll see [To Joe] Hi Joe! |
| .say <any action> | Says whatever you type next without
looking for a command. e.g. .say /thwaps Fred will not give the usual error message,
but will show in chat as Yourname: /thwaps Fred . This feature is useful when teaching someone the commands |
| .who [room] | See the user list of a room (the current room
is the default). |
| .whois <name> | Get information about a user. |
| .whereis <name> | Find a user. |
| .users | See the complete user list. |
| .rooms | See a list of rooms. |
| .roominfo [room] | Get information about a room. |
.ignore <name>
.unignore
<name> | Ignore/unignore a user. (This is based on IP
address, so you can ignore someone for good.) |
| .ignorelist | See a list of users you are ignoring. |
| .isignoring <name> | Find out if someone is ignoring
you. |
| .banlist | See a list of banned and kicked
addresses. |
| .isgagged [name] | Find out if you or someone else are
gagged. |
| .keepoutlist | See a list of people who are not allowed in
the room. |
| .iplookup <IP> | Shows a list of users with a given IP
address. |
| .ignorebyip <IP> | Ignores someone with a given IP
address. |
| SysOp/TempOp commands |
|---|
| .time <time> | Time for a given command to function,
given in milliseconds (ms), seconds (s), minutes (m)
hours (h), days (d) and weeks (w). For example,
reducing a kick time to allow someone to
correct the name after a sponateous disconnect with .time 1ms
.kick <name> |
| .kick <name> | Kick a user out of chat temporarily.
(TempOps can only kick users in their own room.)
If kicking a stuck name
(someone's internet connection dropped and their name is still in chat when they return),
it's better to use .time 1s .kick <name> as the default time is 20 minutes. |
.keepout <name>
.unkeepout <name>
.keepoutbyip
<IP> | Keep a user out of the room--they are still free to
enter other rooms. .unkeepout readmits the user. (TempOps can only keep
users out of their own room, temporarily.) |
| .vote <y/n> <name> | To allow a waitlisted user to enter, type .vote y <name> . However
there may be people that are for one reason or another kept out of chat (see rules). In this case,
you would type .vote n <name> eg .vote n LightOmni |
| SysOp-only commands |
|---|
.gag <name>
.ungag <name> | Keeps a user from
speaking; ungag allows them to talk again. |
.ban <IP>
.unban <IP> | Bans or unbans an IP
address. Partial IPs (i.e., "123.204.99") may be used. |
.op <name>
.deop <name> | Makes another user a
TempOp, or revokes TempOp status. |
.permroom <room>
.unpermroom <room> | Creates
a new, permanent room, or makes a room temporary again. Rooms that are
always permanent can't be modified. |
.setroom <item>=<value>
.unsetroom
<item> | Sets data about the room, such as "Topic=Weather".
Rooms that are always permanent can't be modified. |
