It is recommended you register your chosen nickname with NickServ in order to prevent impersonation. Type <code>/msg nickserv register <password> <email address></code> to register your name. You'll receive a confirmation email with a code. Once you're registered, upon entering any channel on the same network you can type <code>/msg nickserv identify <password></code> to confirm your identity and boot off anyone using your name. | It is recommended you register your chosen nickname with NickServ in order to prevent impersonation.

Morrissey is YSTV's IRC bot, named after [[hist:Morrissey the YSTV stuffed rabbit|Morrissey the YSTV stuffed rabbit]]. Maintained by [[hist:Tom Cheyney|Tom Cheyney]],<ref name="github">[https://github.com/Top-Cat/Morrissey Morrissey on GitHub] (may require permission to view, else 404)</ref> it has many useful functions, and a few fun ones. Principally, a Python script on the [[Computing:Encode Server|encode server]] tells Morrissey when the live stream has been showing black or playing silence (i.e. dead air) for too long, and when transmission has resumed. Morrissey announces these events in the IRC channel. He also has interactive commands. | |||
* <code>!weather</code> will pull a summary of the current weather local to YSTV. For more detail, use the [http://weather.elec.york.ac.uk/ Electronics department's live weather page]. <code>!WEATHER</code> does something different entirely. | |||
* <code>!quote <string></code> gets Morrissey to pull a quote from the quotes board. Omit the search string for a completely random quote. | |||
* <code>!coin <number_of_flips></code> gets Morrissey to flip coins for you. | |||
* <code>!time</code> tells you the time according to YSTV. | |||
* <code>!nextevent</code> displays upcoming items in the [[Tarantula|schedule]]. | |||
* <code>!flooded</code> provides a bite-sized IRC-based alternative to [http://hasystvfloodedyet.com/ hasystvfloodedyet.com]. | |||
* <code>!slap <user></code> provides a YSTV-specific alternative to the IRC /slap command. | |||
* <code>!kill <user></code> gets a bit more violent. | |||
* <code>!cuddle <user></code> seems, on the surface at least, to be an antidote to <code>!kill</code>. | |||
* <code>!random <user></code> is a special window into the mind of [[hist:Helen Hobin|Helen Hobin]]. | |||
