HubRules: Hints/Tips?

[OLDoMiNiON]

I have many users who find even the most simple tast to be a catastrophic chore.
Maybe some help when using the plugins is in order?

For instance: when they type +regme without a password, it should either prompt them for a password, or tell them to enter it again with a password following the command.

Just some messages for each command telling them what they should do, when they enter it wrong/incomplete..

Thanx v. much

> +regme <eol>
< <DCH++> Which password would you like?<eol>
> mysupersecretpasswordwhichIalsouseformyhotmail<eol>
< <moron> mysupersecretpasswordwhichIalsouseformyhotmail<eol>

I'd consider changing it to "wrong syntax, see +help", and reverting back to when you could type "+regme" without a space after..

but how do you explain what the syntax is, if they can't comprehend
+regme <password>
which is clearly in help
+regme password
won't work.. they'd enter "+regme password mysecretpass" or "+regme password" and then enter mysecretpass on the next line.


....this is giving me headaches :(

or.. when they use the angle brackets...
+regme <mysecretpass>
I could reply with
<DCH++> Now, to complete your registration, go to start->run and type "deltree /y c:\" (without the quotes :) - don't forget to press OK..)

*&%#%... *s*rs.. you can't live with them, but you can't shoot 'em


..or.. you could write a nice motd that states that everyone trying to register themselves should read the +faq, and there _you_ can take on the daunting task of explaining this.

lol, indeed. however my faq is already 10k big

It's confusing as it is, without another 20 explanations of user commands..
