Conference / moderation
#######################

.. TAGS: RST

Conferencing is possible through the moderation facilities of channels.
The "conf" channel and alias are available for conferences, although
any channel can actually be moderated.

Channels have a few extra commands available when they are being
moderated:

    |    chan conf		- shows the moderator, the current speaker, and
    |    			  whether your hand is raised to speak.  The
    |    			  moderator will see a list of people with their
    |    			  hands raised.
    |    chan conf /raise	- raise your hand to speak
    |    chan conf /lower	- lower your hand
    |    
    |    chan conf /call		- for moderator use: call on the first person in
    |    			  the list of people with raised hands
    |    chan conf /call joe	- for moderator use: call on joe to speak (joe
    |    			  must have his hand raised)
    |    
    |    chan conf /moderate	- for admin and moderator group member use: begin
    |    			  moderating a particular channel

The current speaker and the moderator are the only people allowed to
communicate over the channel (using normal messages, emotes, etc.).
