Live chat[]
Live chat is a function that allows users to interact with one another directly. You can talk about stuff related to Head Soccer and ask the Adminstrator what you want to know about editing/creating pages. You can also speak in private messages with users.

Chat Emoticons[]
Emoticons are small pictures to use in Chat, like this one . View all at MediaWiki:Emoticons. To use them, type in the text standing below a picture. There might be several ones for one emoticon.
Add Chat Emoticons[]
Only Admins can add Emoticons.
Bans and Kicks[]
Of course we want a friendly usage in the chat. We've got two ways to deal with users who break the rules:
Kick[]
A kick is usually a warning. You got to reload the chat after the kick, losing previous messages. But you may keep writing.
Ban[]
If we ban you, you won't be able to join the chat for different lengths of time. You may however, still do edits on the wiki.
Rules[]
The chat should be open for every user, therefore we need rules. If there are no Moderators/Administrators online, make a screenshot and post it in the forums, please only in serious cases:
- Stay friendly: If you are rude to somebody, we'll kick you out. In serious cases, you'll receive an instant block.
- Don't spam: Spammers will get kicked out. If they spam more than 5 of the same replies in a row, they may then choose to rejoin the chat, but if they continue, they will get banned from the chat. Use private message (by clicking on a user on the right; then select private message) if you only want to talk to one user.
- Don't use rude words: This will mostly result in an instant block.
- Do not make use of private messages to insult or spam a particular user.
- Overuse of emoticons, try not to use too many gif emoticons, 4 at max for a single post, as they may cause chats to crash for other users
Things to take note (Chat moderators)[]
- You are allowed to ban a user from the chats, but only for a maximum of 7 days/1 week, unless the user is a sock puppet account.
- Give a warning to the user first when he/she breaks the rules. If the user persists, you may choose to block/kick him/her.
