Command

What it does

Description

..close

Closes your group.

Forcibly closes down your group and removes all the people from it.  Note – If you make changes to a group for example, if you change its rating, the change does not take affect until you close down your group and reopen it.  Use this command to close it.

..reddottexton

Red dotting someone mutes them and prevents them from typing to the group as well.

Normally when you red dot someone they are just muted but can still type text messages. This option allows an admin to change it so that when they red dot someone, they are muted and can not type text either.  Note – if you turn this on and red dot everyone, you effectively turn off all activity in your group.  This may be desirable if you wish to leave your group temporarily and suppress all activity while you are gone.

..reddottextoff

Red dotting someone mutes them but they can still type to the group.

Simply undoes the previous command returning you to the default mode where red dotting someone just mutes them but they are still able to type.

..ban <nickname>

group owner
only!

Permanently ban a user from entering your group.

There may be occasions when you simply don't want a particular user to ever enter your group.  You may ban them using this command.  Be careful to type their nickname exactly.  We suggest cutting and pasting the name to make sure you are accurate.  Do not type the <.> characters.  Here is  a correct example:  ..ban vince338 

..unban <nickname>

group owner
only!

Reverses the ban on someone.

If at a later time you decide you wish to remove the ban on a user, you may use this command to do so. Be sure to use the exact spelling of the nickname. If you are not sure of the spelling check your ..banlist command below.  Do not type the < > characters.  Here is a correct example:  ..unban vince338

..banlist

View a list of the users you currently have banned.

Displays a list of all the users currently banned by you. Your ban list is limited to 100 nicknames.
