It tells me I need to identify myself. How do I do that?
If you are the owner of the nickname, type /ns identify password. If you are not the owner of the nickname, you will need to change your nickname to something else.

How do I talk to just a single person and not the whole chat?
Click on a person’s name to open a private chat with them.

Who is in charge of the chat?
Staff members have a ‘+’, ‘%’, ‘@’, ‘&’ or ‘~’ before their nickname. Each staff member is on PokéBeach’s forums as well, so you can contact them there if you wish.

I have a question that isn’t covered anywhere in this guide.
Send a Private Message to one of the chat’s staff members with your question. We’re glad to help you!
