Here are all the ways to reach the Azzurra staff, split by topic: picking the right channel gets you an answer sooner.
IRC channels
The fastest way is right on the network. There are two support channels, each with its own job.
#IRCHelp — help with using IRC
#IRCHelp is where you ask for help with anything about using IRC. You’ll mostly find experienced users volunteering to help newer ones, and now and then a network operator.
Topics for #IRCHelp include:
- IRC commands, chat clients, scripts;
- the network services: NickServ, ChanServ, MemoServ, SeenServ;
- how to register your nickname;
- how to add people to your channel’s operator list;
- how to send memos to other users.
Before joining you can browse the IRC Help section, with guides and documentation.
#OperHelp — technical and administrative matters
#OperHelp is where some of Azzurra’s IRC Operators and administrators hang out. It’s the channel for technical or administrative requests about the network, for example:
- trouble connecting to the servers;
- K-Lines and network bans;
- reports of abuse, flooding and spam;
- requests about the network rather than a single channel.
For using the services and IRC commands, #IRCHelp remains the right place.
Generic addresses
For matters that don’t need an immediate reply, or if nobody’s around in the channels, email the staff at irc@azzurra.chat.
To reach a specific staff member, you’ll find their addresses on the Staff page.
Abuse reports / K-Line
If your IP has been banned from the network or you’d like to report an abuse, use the dedicated section:
#IRCHelp or #OperHelp on the IRC network, depending on the topic.
