Rizon Christmas Event 2010

[guuchan]

We will be hosting a Christmas Event from 24th to 31st by giving out color vhosts to registered nicks. In order to get one:

1. Register your nick if you haven't already ("/msg NickServ help register");
2. Identify to the registered nick;
3. Join #xmas and enjoy!

If for some reason you want to take off the color vhost, you can do one of the followings:

• If you have a vhost assigned to your nick, activate your vhost (i.e. "/msg HostServ on")
• "/mode your_nick -x" (then "/mode your_nick +x" if you want to remask your host)
• Reconnect to the network without rejoining #xmas

A few things to note:

• Color vhost is temporary and will be gone once you take it off or disconnect from the network. Simply rejoin #xmas to regain it
• We will give out predefined color vhosts only which will rotate daily. Do NOT ask for a custom one
• Do NOT abuse the system or you will be banned from the network for 7 days

For channel operators
If someone is abusing color vhosts in your channel, join #services and we will assist you there. All color vhosts of a certain day will follow the same pattern so you can also choose to forbid it in your channel altogether, for example:

nick!ident@merry.christmas.nick

You can place the following ban accordingly:

/mode #channel +b *!*@merry.christmas*

Have fun, enjoy the event, and Merry Christmas!

Pretty neat, at first I was thinking you were talking about custom vhosts.
Also
>dat join rate ( for 2 minutes after global ).

Dec 23: [ Xmas.at.Rizon.Jan ]

Also note, using \ or _ in your nick will not allow the vhost to be set.

And another note: autoop ( on nickserv ) needs to be on for this to work as well ( this is on by default, if you have set it to off, change it back with /ns set autoop on ).

Also be sure to have set autoop on.
If you dont, it will not work

_ is fine. I have revised the script to remove other special characters that aren't allowed in vhosts so it should work now.

As noted above, NickServ's autoop needs to be turned on in order for it to work. Once you join the channel and get voiced, the color vhost will be given to you instantly and you can choose to stay in the channel or part afterwards.
