In addition to community-based spam-filtering and abuse-reporting,
we are beginning to roll out moderator control over yaplet chats.
To obtain username/password for your channel, please talk to Cristina or Matt.
Please be aware that during beta testing, moderator passwords may be wiped/reset. (But, we'll try not to do this.)
We eventually expect to provide site operators with the ability to prove that they control a site and obtain a moderator passcode for chats on their site. (This may be through something like adding a meta tag that we specify to a page.)
Right now, moderators can wipe a channel log or ban a user
instantly. There is no unban feature yet.
Can I set the default name of people in my chat?
Yes, by inserting &nick=[nick] into the URL. For example, if your
page were http://foo.com/
http://go.yaplet.com/?nick=Anon&url=http://foo.com/
You can also
lock people into using that nick by utilizing
nicklock=1. For example:
http://go.yaplet.com/?nick=LifeNinja&nicklock=1&url=http://foo.com/
(This is useful if you're generating the chat link dynamically on your site, and you have access to usernames.)
Can I filter swearing?
Yes, again, by specifying antiswear=1& in the link to your site. For example:
http://go.yaplet.com/?antiswear=1&url=http://foo.com/
Can I theme my chat or insert my site's logo?
Yes, by specifying a URL to a CSS file using css=[url] in the link.
For example:
http://go.yaplet.com/?css=http://foo.com/yaplet.css&yurl=http://foo.com/
CSS support is
experimental. By this, we mean we have not documented the id and class names available, as they may change.
At the moment, the div element with id yourLogo can be used to insert your logo.
Yaplet reserves the right to remove CSS theme support for your site if you violate good taste or usability standards.
