How to vouch for new users
To get past step 4 in the signp process, a person trying to sign up has to get approved/vouched by two existing users. This page is intended for existing users about to vouch for a new user.
It's quite easy to vouch for another member, just log in to the signup program (login as user signup, ["Info/Login"]). Then log with the signup account you used to sign up yourself. You might have lost the password to your account since you probably don't log in using it other than to approve new members, but no worries, there is a recover-password functionality!
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 vouch for. This is the username they use in the signup process, and might not be the same as they use on IRC.
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" or /msg nickserv info <nickname>. 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!
You can only vouch for one user each day. You can not save up "vouch-points", so even if you wait one week without vouching you can't approve 7 people at the same time. You can not vouch for the same user twice, two different users have to approve. Your username is logged when you vouch for someone, if you vouch for people that should not get vouch something bad will happen...
