Super Mario Bros. X Forums

A few nights ago, I saw some guy on the chat named Joey (which I was sure it wasn't the real one.) and he claimed to actually be Sleepy. I wasn't sure of THAT, but this leads me to think that the SMBX chat needs better administration or just some more admins that can stay up late. But y'know, there's the lucky PM system but sometimes users just fake it for that person to get in trouble.

Just a suggestion.

People who are actual IRC operators will have @ signs next to their nicknames in the online list, just so you know. There's usually at least one staff member around, I think, especially during times of the day that have significant activity.

Yes Chanserv is best. Also there is Xanos and Jason who also can do stuff.

The guy was named "Joey" and then his name changed to "Guest" followed by a string of numbers (e.g. "Guest38204"), which means that my nickname protection caught him and forced his nickname to be changed. If there isn't an @ by the name of somebody who is an operator (like Joey, Valtteri, Zeldamaster12, etc.) then it's an imposter.

Or to add to that, a staff member may accidentally make an error in their login password, which signs them in as a normal user. I've done it before too, but usually we correct that straight away. If you want to make sure, click that person's username in the side bar and select WHOIS, which will bring up said person's details, including their actual name.
