Nimbuzz finally makes an efficient move against flood!

Starting from 12/03/2013, all chat rooms admins and owners can use the newly released commands to do various things regarding room management.
You can see the available commands by send /help in the room chat.
But here’s an easier explanation of each commands:
/mod: Makes the target user a moderator in the room (Can only kick and mute users). Example: /mod black_008

/kick: Kicks the target user out of the room. Example: /kick black_008
/invite: Invites someone from your list to the room (Note: the user must be in your list). Example: /invite black_008
/mute: Makes the target user a visitor (visitors can’t post messages in the room). Example: /mute black_008
/who: Display the profile of the target user, like SpyBot does. Example: /who black_008
/msg: Sends a room private message to the target user. Example: /msg black_008 Hey Riyad!
/ban: Bans the target user from room. Example: /ban black-008
And those are the subcommands:
  • a – all users in room
  • c – number of banned ids
  • r – remove user from ban list
  • f – block all the IDs that come from the IP address of the user
How to use them:
/ban a: Bans all current users in the room, except owners, admins and members.
/mod a: Makes all the current users moderators.
/kick a: Kicks all the current users.
/ban r: Unban the target user. Example: /ban r black-008
/ban c: Displays the number of banned IDs in the ban list.
/ban f: block all the IDs that come from the IP address of the target user. Example: /ban f black_008

And that’s all I guess.
The most useful command is /ban f FloodId , it will basically stop all the flood IDs from coming to the room, without even being in the ban list, the only down side is that you can’t “undo” the block.
Note: The ID must be in the room to make the command work.
Is it the end of flood? Let’s hope so. Either way, it’s a great move by Nimbuzz!
Hope I could help a little bit with the commands descriptions.

Cheers,
