This FAQ covers some general items about the new IRC network and associated services. Please have a look here before requesting assistance from the Tech Rats with an issue.
IRC Nicknames are registered through the webpage, NOT nickserv, as on normal networks. When you log on to the Fuel Rats website, you are presented with a menu on the left hand side where you can add IRC nicknames. Important Note: These guides assume you are using the status window of IRC, and NOT any chat channels. The TechRats recommend to always use the main status channel when inputting passwords into IRC, just in case you forget a "/"!
To register your first nickname: (DO THIS WITH A PLAIN NICKNAME WITHOUT ANY [TAGS])
To register all other subsequent nicknames: (Such as Rat[PC] or Rat[Work])

We have basic IRC how-to guides located here If you don't see a guide for your particular client on that page, most IRC Clients are well documented on their own respective websites. |

The + mark (Normally called 'voice' in IRC terminology) is applied to drilled rats to make it easier for Dispatch to see who is fully drilled and ready for being dispatched on rescues. If you have been drilled, but do not have the + in front of your nick, first check to ensure that you are identified with Nickserv. If you are, and a /whois of yourself says you have a hostmask of recruit.fuelrats.com, please contact the Tech Rats here: http://t.fuelr.at/help . All identified rats have a vhost applied to them, in the format <nickname>.*.fuelrats.com. The * may be recruit, rat, techrat, overseer, op or netadmin. This identifies what rats have various roles on the network. Netadmins are techrats with network-wide IRC powers, and are able to help with issues such as not being able to connect, banning problematic users from the network, and so forth. Ops are the janitorial team of the channels, and usually help with maintaining the Mischief environment by removing problematic cats and reminding rats of the Terms of Service and Code of Conduct when necessary. |
In general, t.fuelr.at links are simply shortened links. The links that show up in RatChat (and in PM, if dispatch clears the case by going !clear <nickname>) are direct links to unique pages generated for each case. Please do not edit a case’s details if it wasn’t yours. |
