Some of you may have noticed over the past few days we have made some extensive changes to the entire system, we have dropped the forums all together in favour for comments as this seems to be the better way for users to offer there input on specific subject matters. We also are now accepting input from anyone who wishes to give it.
You can now submit Documents/FAQ entries of News to the site, however it must and should be noted that any content submitted must be written correctly and be as informative as possible - these are some guidelines on submitting documents within the submission page. We have also dropped the community site this simply did not get the attention from the userbase so it was removed as per what we started in our last news post.
Along with the content and registration changes we have adopted a new look to the site which should be more functional and cleaner for everyone. We often get asked about donations, you will notice at the top of the screen there is now a pull down donation panel, if you would like to donate to the site you can do this from there.
We still have some changed to make to make things a little easier and give you a touch more input such as FAQ migration to a new system, watch for that in the next coming days.
A user recently asked why we have banners in the footer - basicaly this boils down to paid advertising - we offer banner advertising on this site ( no porn, hacking, adult sites ) for a set fee of $5 per banner per month.

The webforms will be returning soon, we have been looking for a secure functional option that also has a good validation and custom contact function, as yet not found one but still looking.
for now you can contact the IRCops in #ophelp or leave myself a message for anything else

Hi Kelly,
Having a few issues on getting the form done quickly, if your 100% sure your channel meets all the requirements ( see them here ) then send me a memo with the channel and il place it under review.

- what's the deal?
|2008-04-25 20:29:30
It has come to my attention that nick hijacking is quite the problem on this network. How does one go about reclaiming their nick when it has been stolen and re-registered by the thief?
And why can't any ircops be found? Why is /stats p disabled so people can't find them?
What good are they if you can't find one when you need one? Kinda pointless to even have any isn't it?
Just another perfect example of how poorly things are run here :/
Tell me how to contact an ircop (one that's online on the network - I don't want no stupid e-mail address)
and tell me how to advise my friends to go about reporting their nick stolen and getting it back. Protect and help your users....

Hello someone,
IRCops can always be found in IrCQ-Net's helpchannel #ophelp, there will always be one or more present there (active or away). When active we'll try to help users as good and fast as we can, when away Chanops and/or Ophelpers in that channel will advise users on how to contact (one of) the IRCops if they really need one.
Users can join #ophelp for help when they have IRC questions and/or problems, the name of the help channel is in every topic of ICQ run channels.
If your friends get their nick stolen they can join #ophelp and ask for help there.
Note: Every nick that's not registered is free to be registered by someone else. If the nickname was taken by someone else and it was not registered it is not "stolen".

I just wanted to thank X-Ception for the great work done on the ChanOps web page. Very nice, informative, and easy to get around in. It's nice to see no broken links in a web site. Also to fake for the Helper AddOn, man this is great. Keep up the good work and keep us alive.

Suicide deaths due to cyber bullying has been in the news in Australia.
I hope IrCQnet has taken a second look at this issue to re-inforce measures to censure cyber thugs.
Although, to monitor and sanction all acts of harassment seems impossible, the server has the obligation to do its best in any way possible.
Even an around-the-clock Op/s presence in every chatroom could make a difference for that matter.
Cheers!

Sadly, this issue has nothing to do with the network as the TOS states its the users responality if they use the network.
ICQ accept no responablity for anything on the network but reserve the right to terminate any connection for any reason at any time.
While the chanops and IRCOPS will try and stop such issues, they are not obliged and in personal conversations (notices and pvts) or private messages they have no power at all, only to advise using ignore and even disconnect from the network.

- z-lined
|2009-09-29 05:08:11
Hi, I was z-lined from ircq net today. The reason was (harrasing other chatters by continually ghosting loads of nicks)
I have no idea what ghosting is or how to do it. In fact, my nick was idling there while i was asleep in bed. The next morning I was banned.
I was wrongfully z-lined. Will this expire or can it be fixed?
My nick is 'boat' if that helps..
libra
|2009-09-11 21:13:10
well email me on libra@chanops.or g pls and gimme a list of the nicks you use because I am not convinced yur not the one ghosting loads of innocent chatters continually

- annoying 'echo' script codes
|2009-09-22 09:58:00
Hiya!!
I'm just wondering if IrCQNet staff involve in scripting could develop a 'remote' channel protection for the ChanBots to stop that annoying (and lame)script that echoes the target user/s every message in a channel.
Cheers!
libra
|2009-09-22 11:45:02
hi,
not sure what annoying script codes you are talking about, but we do not have anything to do with the coding in the icq bots those belong to ICQ

Hi!
I was referring to chatters using scripts that repeats everything a target user types in the channel.
Solitary_Scar
|2009-09-23 09:18:24
Yes, those 'echo', 'mimic' or 'copycat' scripts are most certainly annoying. Like libra explained, we can`t do much on the channel bot coding, as it belongs to ICQ. However you can surely report it by joining #ophelp. An available ChanOp/BotOp will be assigned asap.

First of all try to get your real IP address ( http://www.whatsm... ). Then send an email to ircops[at]chanops.or g requesting to remove this Z-Line (provided with the IP address) , or join #OpHelp and try to speak with an active IRCop.

Ok, after repeatedly asking why I received a 2 week z-line, even going so far as to email libra ( who had no idea what was going on). I suspect xom[A]s is a tad over-zealous. Either that, or Dad4F parking in a trivia channel owned by the IRCOp has garnered him favoritism. Facing this daunting task, I am left with no other course of action but to seek remedy through AOL and their officers. Contrary to belief, ICQ IRC is on AOL servers, so no matter how high you are at ICQ, you will answer to someone there, as you have given me 2 weeks of free time , I will use it to message every single VP at AOL until I get the one that runs the IRC servers.
Have a nice day

Libs,
Ya know what? Nevermind. Just forget it. I joined these servers in September of 1999. In #icq4, #icq5 and #30_something. In the 10 years since, I have seen many changes and many great people come and go. I am an adult and do not claim to be a saint and, on occasion have been warned and even kicked for language, but never harassment, until today. In 10 years, not once. Long time users have been chat friends and great and good friends to me, seeing me through serious and fun times alike. It is very saddening to think that after such a long and enjoyable time here, nothing good has come of it.
Instead, a person who has been repeatedly banned for harassment, just this year, can begin a campaign of sniping remarks, cut and paste harassment of privates and logs, fake mp3 notices and privating chatters with "warnings" about not only me, but friends as well and not only succeed in having me z-lined, but for a 2 week<...

|2009-11-12 21:21:53
so,what I wanna know is, is anything going to happen about that z:line already?
I, and with me several others very much disagree with it,emails have been sent,ppl have been trying to contact ops about it.. still there's nothing done.
meanwhile Dad4F happily continues to stink up that room with his presence,just lovely

IM sure theres something different, was in IRC ICQ earlier today, explained my problems with being Z Lined over and over in the ophelp room, left off line messages with the Ircops there, only to be Z lined about 20 mins later for spam/advertising. All was ok before Christmas, now its a nightmare, and ive got nowhere with any answers to my problems. I cant connect now, I keep getting 'connection timed out' messages, mixed in with 'closing link - spam advertising'. Its ok for someone in the ophelp room to say it looks like Ive got caught up in something, but thats not much help for me.

|2010-02-16 15:18:00
I am not z-lined. And I am not able to connect. I have tried several machines and I have also tried asking several friends to connect...none of them was able to connect. There is just a "connection refused" message on port 6667 and "connected" message on port 7012 (but nothing further happens and after a bit of time there is a disconnection).
libra
|2010-02-17 08:29:52
duklaa port 6667 is closed just for a short time but you really shouldnt have problems connecting from 7012 for webchat.I will report this today to the admins .
