Hey folks,

SMP Chat has been getting a little spammy lately with everyone all being on,
For that reason we're providing the option to separate your chat into 4 chat channels.

Please be aware that all the standard chat rules apply and you will still see the main chat, just not talk in it.

Staff will still be moderating these channels.

Additionally we're working on the /ignore command issue, unfortunately it's a little more complicated than just providing permission for it. While we're working on this please be understanding with people joining and talking in the channel we're using.

Now, down to how it works.

There are 4 additional channels, they're on SMP only and do not pass between the servers.

The channels are Red, Green, Blue and Yellow.

To join a channel type use /<channelname>

So to join red type /red

You will still see the main chat but your chat messages will be within the channel you have joined.

If you need to talk back to the main channel (Say a new user joins and you'd like to welcome them) you can prefix your message with a ! this will talk back at the main channel.
for example: "! Welcome to wom" will say "Welcome to wom" into the main chat no matter what channel you're in.

To leave a channel and rejoin main chat type /link

And finally you will always default back to link when you join the server.

Update: The chat channels now have join and leave messages.
The only awkward thing since our chat plugin isn't designed to do it is that it's a little hacked in...
You will announce your own joins and leaves.
Link does not have a join message. This is intentional.

Do not spam chat channels as this will create chat spam which we are trying to avoid...

Staff do not announce their joins and leaves. Don't be suprised if we pop into a channel to say hi though.

Please provide feedback.
Ta!
