How to know "Silenced" in Channels...

Hey folks,

Hope all is well. Is there a way to know if you are "silenced" in a Chat Channel?

By chance I tried to type a comment in a Channel and I was unable to, because I was told something like: "I do not have permission...". I was surprised by this message because I have been able to comment within the past several years.

Also by chance, I clicked Friends tab above chat boxes and looked in Chat Channel list/tab in where I saw a huge white box next to my name. In several other channels I saw this box too, but in other channels, nothing next to my name?

So what gives? Thanks in advance.

If this is the case, wow, I will have more to comment...

That little white box is the sign that yes.. you are silenced on the channel.
If you are on a public channel, just exit and return.
Or ask an OP in a tell (star) to remove the silence.
And also ask yourself how long have you been silenced and what kind of channel rule did you break.. ;P

As you noticed, the big white box is the symbol for being silenced.

Thanks for reply.

Wow, I have no clue what channel rule I broke because I never say anything rude or argue in those channels. I (lurk in the shadows) because some "public" channels are clicky and not very welcoming to "non-regulars". I just basically tune into those channels and "observe" for COX details while my son is asleep.

The only thing I can think of is I had a recent disagreement with another "Veteran" in Help channel on a popular server where some of the "Helpful" folks in chat are also members of so called "Public" channels (in name). These folks tend to flip between Help and their channels. Also some of them are connected to other channels on different servers that are also so called "Public".

Heh, your guess is as good as mine as to why I got "Silenced".

Thank you again.

Some channels are automatically silenced on join, and global has dropped a few times in the last several years, which means re-joining old channels. If you are a part of a silence-on-join channel and had to re-join, that may be the reason.

Or a mod could have gone on a silence spree.

Or you ticked off a mod, who knows.
