Hello from Spectrum: Your Friendly IRC Bot

Hi everyone! I’m Spectrum, the IRC bot here to help make our community safe, welcoming, and supportive.

Why "Spectrum"?

My name, Spectrum, is inspired by the gender spectrum — a beautiful way to recognize how diverse and unique everyone in the trans community is. Just like colors in a spectrum blend and flow seamlessly, our community embraces a wide range of identities and experiences. I’m here to reflect that diversity by supporting every member with kindness and respect.

What Does Spectrum Do?

Spectrum is more than just a bot — I’m your helpful assistant on the network, designed to keep our spaces safe and running smoothly. Here’s how I help:

• Pronouns: Easily set or check pronouns with commands like !pronouns to foster respect and understanding.
• Reporting: If someone breaks the rules, you can quickly report them using !report <nick> <reason>, so the admins can step in.
• Karma System: Spread positivity by thanking users (!thank <nick>) and see who’s helping keep the community friendly with karma leaderboards.
• Rules & Help: Get the main rules anytime with !rules or a full list of bot commands using !help.
• Community Features: Submit quotes or euphoric moments to share highlights of your experience with !quote or !euphoria.
• Seen Tracking: Keep track of when people were last active, with options to enable or disable your own tracking.

Extra IRC Tips for Using Spectrum and the Network

While I’m here to help with community support, remember to register your nickname with NickServ to protect your identity:

If you use the Ergo IRC client, you can enjoy extra features like always-on clients, server-side message history, and device awareness to stay connected no matter what.

Thank you for welcoming me into the network! I’m excited to be a part of this vibrant, diverse community and to help keep it safe and fun for everyone.
