Channels

Channels are the way to get together with other people on Incorrigo Syx

What is a Channel?

A channel is a group conversation that people join. You don't need to add someone, they join. But it is possible to make an invite-only channel

Channels have names that start with #. No matter what app you use, you join a channel by using this command: /join #channelname

On most clients, a channel is a window where users who are inside send messages. You can also send messages, so there is a text box. Also, there is a list of people who are currently on the channel, so you will be able to see who your channel message should reach

Channels have settings, called modes ... these settings control how the channel works. What people can say, what they can do. Who is allowed in, allowed to speak. Anything

If you /join a channel that doesn't exist yet, then it is created for you ... and you will be left in charge of it

Web Chat: #chat
List of Channel Modes
You don't need to know any modes, this is just the full list in case you wanted to know

Channel Messages

When you send a message to a channel, only the people in the member list can see your message. In the member list, people are represented by their nicknames

When you leave a channel and you log off from the network, whatever conversations that you had will be gone. The conversation won't be waiting for you when you come back. They aren't stored anywhere on your computer or your phone. If someone goes through your device looking for what you were talking about, they will be very disappointed

Incorrigo Syx is a text relay network ... none of it is stored, even an operator [someone who runs the network] can not see messages that you sent / received in a 1 on 1 conversation, or a channel they are not on when you send a message to it

Channel Privacy

On Incorrigo Syx you can be on multiple channels at the same time !

When you are on a channel, all they can see in the list is your nickname. All messages are encrypted so even a computer genius can not read what you're talking about, just by being on the same wifi that you are. Likewise, when you look at the member list you will see everyone else's nickname. If you prefer to keep things that way, then that is all that they will ever see !

This is a privilege and not a right. Users exploiting this freedom by abusing others, for instance, will unfortunately need to be removed
