The Premier Bummer Hosting Solutions Java chat client features the ability to have a chat moderator, which allows a you to hold moderated or celebrity chat events. The chat moderator has complete control over an ongoing chat session; he/she can approve or discard messages before they reach the audience, highlight a guest star user, approve all messages from a user etc.

Become A Moderator
To become a moderator, you must be logged as a chat administrator. Use the /moderate command so that you can start to moderate the chat room. The moderator plug-in will appear, and all users in the room will be shown a message informing them that all their messages are being forwarded to the moderator for approval.



When you moderate a room all user messages are sent to the moderator window message list. Highlight a message and click the Approve button to have this message posted to the audience, or the Discard button to remove this message from queue, without posting it. The Discard All button will empty the message list.

You can enable all messages from a selected user by right-clicking on that user's nickname and selecting 'Approve all messages' from user list pop-up menu. Select 'Moderate all messages' to return that user back to normal mode.

If you invited a guest-star or speaker, you can highlight and enable all his/her messages selecting 'Highlight' from user list pop-up menu. The celebrity's nickname is then highlighted:



Use the /moderate command again or simply close the moderator window to return back to normal chat mode.
