Kidsworld is an mIRC Server founded in (date) by William (LN) (Username Indian) and (Lema). Its purpose was to provide a safe and youth friendly enviroment for its users to chat in. The server would have an average of 70 users online during the peak day times and an overall count of 200 users at any given time. It was online for over 10 years before it lost its popularity and was finally shut down by its hosts The servers rules, in Addition to the ban on vulgarity in the public channel was an age limitation, users above the age of 17 were not permitted to be on the server, this included both new users and those that thad just turned 18, the only exemption to this rule was for staff, the level of monitor or above, so long as the status was maintained, a user could remain on the server past his/her 18th birthday

The server had two main public "Channels", individual chat rooms with specific topics.


 * Channels

Individual chat rooms with specific topics of conversation, the public rooms were owned and run by the server staff, but users with the help of a bot named "K" could create and maintain their own channels. Some of the more popular channels included

#chat

the main public channel and was for all users to talk in, however with a series of rules. The main focus of which being PG rated content. users were not allowed to swear, or discuss sexual or other topics that would either be offencive or innapropriate for users under the age of 18. This channel employed the use of a service known as StatServ, whos purpose was to register and keep track of users stats (their age and gender) this would allow other users to immediatly know something about a new user and have a conversation point, aswell as keep tabs on peoples ages


 * 1) adminland

This channel was dedicated to helping the users, all staff members were required to be in it for the duration of the time that they were logged in. regular conversation were not permitted, only ones pertaining to questions. the primary thing done in this channel was users requesting the K service put in their channels


 * Staff

There were 3 tiers of staff, each level had specific tasks they were ment to preform, however all staff were expected to maintain general order in the public channels

Helpers

Helpers were the first level of staff, their primary level of managment was for just the #chat and #adminland channels, there were 5 levels of helper, each with a different level of access to the service "Helprserv" they ranged from only being able to kick users from a channel for a rule violation to the ability to change users announced stats and message when they joined.

Monitors

Monitors were the second level. their dutys were at hte server level rahter than channel. they were tasked with the removal of problomatic users from the server via the "Kill" command monitors also had higher level access to Helprserv and in addition to the K service, which allowed them to assign the service to users channels.

Opers

Opers were the top level of staff, only below the server owners themselves. aswell as full access to the services, they had the ability to execute the majority of sever level commands. including the ability to permenatly ban a user from logging in.


 * The Bots

Kidsworld employed serveral service bots to assist with the basic working of the server, some ran in the channels themselves, and one ran in the background of the server, assisting the monitor and opers only

K: K was the channel services bot, the access of a monitor or above was required in order to activate "her" for your chennel, you qould reqest to have the service in your channel by giving the staff member the channel name and a password. The k service provided basic channel managment and security, after being messaged a login request, the user would be automaticly recive op status within his/her channel, in addition, should the user loose that status, K contained several simple commands that would allow the users to either regain their op status or use the bot itself to ban the abusive users. K also held a userlist for each channel, which the owner could ass other users to on an access scale of 1-3

HelprServ: HelprServ was one of three exclusive bot that ran in the two public channels, its purpose was to assist the helpers in their dutys, by giving them the needed channel authority. Once the correct server level command was issued, the bot would recognise a user as staff and give them channel priviliges according to that level, it would also allow helpers into their own private staff channel.

Statserv: StatServ was run in the public channels purely as a statistic bot, it would keep track of users ages (including date of birth) and genders. access to it was only granted to level 4 helpers nad above, though it was not without its charm, several phrases could be trigged by saying the correct word enough times, leading to various humours quips.

KWorld: KWorld was not a bot run within the channels, instead its primary purpose was as a middleman for server commands without giving the user access to the server itself, those commands included one that would give staff members their specific host that would display them as staff. it also would allow low level monitors to issue the Kill and Gline commands
