webchatters

One of the many issues we see with people using the webchat is that they insist on setting their channels to +R (registered only can join). This is an issue as our webchat doesn't inform the user of the following:

- That the channel is actually +R (it goes to the status window which is confusing).
- how does one register?

How would people feel if we made it so webchatters got marked +r, even if they aren't registered?

It would allow for them to at least get past +R and the likes.

Some people are afraid of things like spambots and the likes. We've been considering using a image verification deal on the webchat to help with this.

Another option to this is to add a bar to the top of the current webchat (that or even changing the 'HELP' menu) where it would be a drop down where the user can select a help topic. On select it would pop up a quick help documents.

Input?
