IRC details

  • IRC is a method to communicate with other users in a real-time format that doesn't cause edit conflicts or Recent Changes-plugging.
  • If you have an IRC client (such as Chatzilla), simply click on the above image/link to access the channel. If you don't have a client, you can use Special:WebChat.

Guidelines

  • As a general rule, the IRC is an extension of SmashWiki. If in doubt, assume all SmashWiki rules (such as no personal attacks) apply.
  • The tone of the IRC is generally less formal than SmashWiki itself. Discussion is free to wander to non-Smash Bros. topics, and it is the primary place to talk with others about brawling.
  • Many users idle on the IRC - that is, while they are connected, they aren't actively paying attention. Do not expect an immediate reply to a query.
  • In the same vein, many users lurk on the IRC - that is, they listen, but don't say anything. There is no requirement to respond to another user, and often a line of "Hello everyone" will be ignored simply because no one feels it necessary to respond to such a post.
  • Don't spam the channel. If discussing wiki content or the like, use a site such as Pastey.net to share large amounts of text.
