"It" is +similar to "shout" in that regard. However, with "it" your chess server name +(or "handle") is always the first word of the message. Also, the "it" message +may be preceded by various symbols depending on the chess server being used. +The symbol string --> is typical. This command has two aliases: "i" and ":". + + Here is an example: if your handle is HANDEL and you type "it thinks FICS +is great!", users will see the following message displayed -- + + --> HANDEL thinks this server is great! + +You, as the sender, will see the following -- + + (##) HANDEL thinks this server is great! + +where ## is the number of users who received the message. + +SPECIAL NOTES: + + (a) Use "cshout" rather than "it" for chess-related messages. + + (b) To contact just one user, use "tell". + + (c) If you want to contact a specific group of users, "tell" to a channel. + + (d) "It" and "shout" are similar. Be familiar with their differences. + + (e) Persons who "it" too much, or in less than appropriate ways, may be +placed on the shout_abuse list. Users on this list may only "shout" a certain +number of times per minute. To see whether you are on the shout_abuse list, +or when you are permitted to "it" again, type "it" alone without a message. +Excessive abuse can lead to heavier restrictions. + + (f) You can decide whether or not to hear an "it" from other users; setting +the "shout" variable to 0 (zero) filters these from being sent to you. + +See Also: alias channel channel_list cshout intro_talking shout +shout_abuse shout_quota tell variables + +[Last modified: December 19, 1995 -- Friar] + |
