| − | S2C hosts an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) server. It is a text-based chat system with different themes to its rooms. People from around the world can gather to talk about all different subjects.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Chat Rules and Guidelines==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <big>'''Before you enter the chat, you must read and agree to follow these rules:</big>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''Age Restriction (13+):''' You MUST be over the age of 13 to use S2C and the sites' live chat. Leave immediately if you are 12 years of age or under.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''No Warez:''' No discussion, linking, or trading of software or intellectual property if you do not own a legitimate, legal copy. Warez trafficking endangers this server's connection. No discussion of no-cd cracks whatsoever. Do not ask people for registration codes or redistributed files.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''No Porn:''' No linking of adult material, no cybering or raunchiness in the main channel. While we're not prudes, minors may be present, and we're not in the business of irritating parents.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''New Channels:''' Only S2C staff or other Sims 2 site owners may own channels. Users may have their own channel as long as they contact a member of staff for permission and abide by server rules. All other channels will be closed.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''Private Messaging:''' Do not PM (private message) people without asking permission in the channel first. This is a common courtesy and a rule on our server.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''Intelligent Typing:''' No spamming (saying the same thing over and over), advertising (posting your site address to get people to visit), scrolling (typing a few characters per line filling up the screen with just you talking), shouting (ALL CAPS), leetspeak/chatspeak (r u sum1 ppl m8 ne1 o y evry1, etc.), idiotspeak (OmG i jUsT fOunD tHe ShIfT kEy), attitudes, or slandering people. No e-thuggery, jackassery, or mock violence. You don't need to have perfect spelling or grammar, just type like you have half a brain.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''English Only:''' Please type in English in public channels in our chat. Again, we don't require perfection, just make an effort.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''The Bots:''' We have two bots, Chii and Pillze, who, among other things, "serve drinks" to chatters. Do not abuse the bot commands (!coffee, etc). They're there for a little amusement, but the bots need rest too.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''Be Yourself:''' No impersonating ANYONE else. This means S2C staff, community members and creators, other chatters, your brother, your cousin, or your dog. We have ways of checking and you'll just look stupid.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''The Bosses of You:''' Respect the channel operators - anyone with a ~, &, @, or % is a staff member (site and/or chat) and if they tell you to stop doing something or to do something, then obey them - they have the power to remove you from chat if you don't listen and follow the rules. Do not ask for ops, and please allow staff to handle issues - we don't need everyone in chat jumping on someone for a rule infraction.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''<font color=#FF0000>No Game Help!</font>''' We do not have a chat room for live help with Sims 2 not working/not working correctly. Please do not ask for game help in #social or #create - you will just be told the same thing here and no help will be given! All game help is conducted in [[Game Help|MTS2's Game Help section]]. Please read the FAQs there and try what they say to do - if you still need help there is a link at the bottom of that page where you can ask questions in the forums. Again, '''<font color=#FF0000>do not ask for game help in #social or #create!</font>'''

| − | Alternatively, if you've been using the chat for a while and want to setup an IRC client (which is a seperate, more flexible application you can use instead of the basic java applet), then it's recommended you use the [http://www.silverex.org/news/ free Silverex build of XChat]. We have instructions on configuring [http://chat.modthesims2.com/xchat.html XChat], [http://chat.modthesims2.com/mirc.html mIRC], [http://chat.modthesims2.com/trill.html Trillian Basic], and [http://chat.modthesims2.com/chatzilla.html Chatzilla].
