!!! info you are welcome to join #abuse:envs.net to report people for inappropriate behavior.

to protect your own room from known spammers and evil accounts:

  • invite @mjolnir:envs.net and give the user admin Permissions.

    !!! tip if you do not want to give @mjolnir:envs.net admin rights then you need to change the room permission Change Server ACL to Moderator. With this setting, @mjolnir:envs.net only needs moderator permissions.

  • the abuse moderators then receive the invitation and needs to confirm it.

after this step, the room is protected.
