| When you have the password and are logged in to the signup program, chose 2 in the menu and then enter the username of the person you would like to approve. This is the username they use in the signup process, and might not be the same as they use on IRC. | Before you vouch for someone, there are two things you have to make sure: 1. Try to figure out if it's someone that's going to stick around for a while, or someone who just wants to get an account and then not come back. Preferably we want people who want to participate in the community :) 1. Try and make sure they are not a scriptkiddie or someone trying to hurt Blinkenshell. Don't vouch for someone who doesn't seem to be familiar with the rules or brags about his botnet etc. |

| Before you approve a member check that they are registered with nickserv. You can do this by doing: /whois <nickname> and look if the returned info says something like "is a registered nick". If the user seems to not know the rules of Blinkenshell, or if he/she acts like a scriptkiddie or someone who would hurt Blinkenshell you should obviously not approve them! | All registered members will get one additional vouch token every night, up to a maximum of two vouch tokens. It takes one vouch token to vouch for a user. So if you save up two tokens, you can vouch two users at the same time. You can not vouch for the same user twice, two different users have to approve. You can not vouch someone in the first 1 hour after they create their signup account. Your username is logged when you vouch for someone and if it turns out you vouch the wrong people, your own account might be at risk. |
| Line 10: | Line 11: |
| You can only approve one user each day. You can not save up approve-points, so even if you wait one week without approving anyone you can't approve 7 people at the same time. You can not approve the same user twice, two different users have to approve. Your username is logged when you approve someone, if you do approve people that should not get approved something will happen. | So how do you go about actually vouching someone? First you have to log in to the signup program ([[Info/Login]], or `signup-start`). Then log in with the signup account you used to sign up yourself, and use the option to vouch a new user in the menu. Here you can also give '''negative vouches''' which will give -1 vouchpoints for a user if you don't think they deserve an account. |

How to vouch for new users
To get past step 4 in the signup process, a person trying to sign up has to get approved/vouched by two existing users. This page is intended for existing users who are about to vouch for a new user.
