IRCStorm Helpers

Helpers are very important to our server. We rely on many volunteers all over the world to assist our users in the registration of their nick and channels as well as setting up the java chat applet on their website.

From time to time we have positions open for users to become helpers. If you are interested in becoming a helper please read the following information. Please visit our Staff Page for information on our current Staff and Helpers.

1. Helpers remember to talk to people on their own level. Be polite and don't try to impress people with your knowledge just guide them through whatever they need to get done as simply and quickly as possible. However if someone is wanting to spend more time just chatting about it don't cut them off. Every user is your friend treat them like you need them and they will continue coming to IRCStorm.

2. Below is a few questions you might encounter in help, or have as a helper, and their answers if you have any suggestions for questions that should be added to the list email [email protected] and include help questions in the subject if you'd like to become a helper email the same address with I want to be a helper as the subject or contact us in #help.

3. Helpers should either be 18 years of age or very mature, using condensed words such as "u r" "thnx" "u" are not acceptable, as we need to portray ourselves in a professional manner. English should be your primary language, or you should be fluent in it, as the vast majority of our client's are English speaking.

The following applies to all Network Staff

4. Nicknames of Network Staff cannot contain profanity, or other derogatory terms. Entry Messages should be limited in size and relatively mature in content, if inappropriate you will be asked to modify it. Scripts are only allowed by the staff if approved by the Network Admins, as they can interfere with and confuse people seeking our assistance.
