5 LIMITED TO REGISTERED USERS
7 Displays your message to all users who are open to hear shouts. Returns
8 the number of users who heard your shout. "Shout" has an alias of "!".
10 Here is an example: if your handle is HANDEL and you type "shout This server
11 is great!", users will see the following message displayed --
13 HANDEL shouts: This server is great!
15 You, as the sender, will see the following --
17 (##) HANDEL shouts: This server is great!
19 where ## is the number of users who received the message.
21 All users have a set shout quota, a limit on how many shouts can be made
22 within a given period of time. Further details are given in the "shout_quota"
28 (a) Use "cshout" rather than "shout" for chess-related messages.
30 (b) To contact just one user, use "tell".
32 (c) If you want to contact a specific group of users, "tell" to a channel.
34 (d) "It" and "shout" are similar. Be familiar with their differences.
36 (e) Persons who "shout" in less than appropriate ways, may be placed on the
37 shout_abuse list or given other sanctions (such as "muzzle").
39 (f) You can decide whether or not to hear a "shout" from other users;
40 setting the "shout" variable to 0 (zero) filters these from being sent to you
41 ("set shout off" or "set shout 0").
