StarChat WebServ Guide
NickServ - ChanServ - MemoServ - WebServ

StarChat provides nickname and channel registration services for WebTV clients via WebServ. This allows WebTV users to interface with NickServ and ChanServ in order to register nickname(s) and channel(s). After fourteen (14) days of non-usage, nicknames are dropped from the registration database. Once your nickname drops, any channels you have registered with that nickname will also drop. As with Channels, they will expire after fourteen (14) days of non-useage.

WebServ was created as an interface between WebTV users and our main Services (NickServ, ChanServ, MemoServ). Although many commands are duplicated into WebServ, WebTV users are urged to use it for only the essentials, listed below. For all other commands, it is recommended that the other Services are used.

Basic Commands:

  • Join- Joins a channel.
  • Part- Parts a channel.
  • Topic- Changes the topic in your channel.

    WebServ Commands:

  • Register- Registers your nickname.
  • Activate- Activates a newly registered nickname.
  • Nick- Changes your nickname currently in use.
  • Kick- Removes a user from your channel.
  • ChanMode- Changes the modes of your channel.
  • Ban- Bans a user (hostmask) from your channel.
  • UnBan- UnBans a user (hostmask) from your channel.
  • Whois- Returns a whois information of a user.
  • Please note that when referring to the <channel> in the Join and Part commands, its name is typed as is. When using any command that sends a message to one of our Services (eg /msg nickserv - /msg webserv) then a '#' character must be placed before the channel name.
