How To Tripsit Online

2022-02-11T19:22:16Z

Winter: included notify syntax for better bookkeeping

This is a guide to Tripsitting online, primarily guided around doing so in TripSit's #tripsit channels, though most tips should be transferable to most tripsitting scenarios.

Here on TripSit's network, when you join to help users, you will be connected to #tripsit,#tripsit1,#tripsit2,#tripsit3 and #tripsitters.

The channels #tripsit,#tripsit1,#tripsit2, and #tripsit3 are all the same, support channels users who need assistance are divided evenly between.

The channel called #tripsitters is a peer support channel, where you can ask for help from other TripSitters, or discuss an ongoing situation to determine the best approach.

==Greeting a user==

Greet users with a simple, calm and neutral phrase such as "hello, how are you?" If the user requires some help, make sure you first gain from them an understanding of exactly what drug(s) they are on, at what dosages and how long it was since they took them (always better to ask the user to list all of the drugs he is on even though the problem seems to only be coming from one of them). You can use ~welcome to greet new users, but we recommend using your own words as it feels more human than automated response.

If a user is online, and not getting too much into convo, then don't idle- they might think that no one is listening to them and leave. When possible, try to greet the user as soon as they enter the room (you can use the ~gettripsitentries command to help with this!).

==Basic Commands==

*Changing your nickname is done with:

:*/nick name

::*Note: Spaces are not allowed in a nickname; they are treated as the end of the nickname, and anything after a space will not show up. Alphanumeric (A-Z, 1-9) characters, hyphens (-), and underscores (_) are allowed.

*Joining a room is done with:

:*/join #room

*Leaving a room is done with:

:*/part #room

*Sending someone a private message is done with:

:*/query user message

*Display all available channels:

:*/list

== TripBot ==
Here on TripSit, we have a resident helper bot called TripBot. Here are some of the most useful commands for helping out.
=== Common Commands ===
{| class="wikitable"
! scope="col" style="width: 33%;" | Syntax
! scope="col" style="width: 33%;" | Description
! scope="col" style="width: 33%;" | Example
|-
| ~report <#channel> <user> <reason> || Report a <user> in a <#channel> for a <reason>. This command can either be run publicly in a channel or anonymously in a PM to tripbot. || /msg tripbot ~report #drugs JoeTheTroll Asking where to get stuff.
|-
| ~drug <drug> || Displays the properties of the <drug>, for example: summary, dose, duration, effects and more. || ~drug LSD
|-
| ~drug <drug> <property> || Displays <property> information || ~drug LSD dose
|-
| ~factsheet <drug> || Links to the factsheet of the <drug>. || ~factsheet LSD
|-
| ~bconvert <dosage> <benzo1> <benzo2> || Converts <dosage> of <benzo1> to <benzo2>. || ~bconvert 2mg xanax klonopin
|-
| ~breathe2 || Links a gif animation designed to help users regain control of their breathing, useful for panic and anxiety || ~breathe2
|}

=== TripSitting ===
{| class="wikitable"
! scope="col" style="width: 33%;" | Syntax
! scope="col" style="width: 33%;" | Description
! scope="col" style="width: 33%;" | Example
|-
| ~tripsit <user> || Ask for help in #tripsit on behalf of the <user> in need help. Messages all tripsitters and posts a message in #drugs and #tripsitvip. <user> is optional. || ~tripsit TripSitMe_12345
|-
| ~gettripsitentries || After issuing this command, you will be PMed by tripbot when a new user comes into #tripsit and may need help. ||
|-
| ~notripsitentries || Turns off the above alert of new users in #tripsit. ||
|-
| ~recovery position|| Displays a link to an image on how to get into the recovery position. || http://imgur.com/nTEm0QE.png The recovery position is designed to prevent suffocation through obstruction of the airway
|}

If you would like to go above and beyond, you can also use our notify command. This helps us know who is being helped regarding which topics and by who! And would serve as an excellent 'resume' if you ever want to become a tripsitter!

'''Syntax: /msg tripbot ~notify <#room> <user> <message> <@assistant> <#drug> <#update>'''

* <#room> is the room for the notification. Always use '#tripsitters' for this.

* <user> is the nickname of the user who was assisted.

* <message> is whatever the information is about the session is. Maybe someone's experience quickly spiraled downhill, or perhaps they improved!

* <@assistant> optionally other people who helped you out with the <user>. You need to prefix each assistant with a @ before their username.

* <#drug> is the name of the drug which was involved, you can include one or more which were involved, making sure that the drug name is prefixed with #.

** If a drug has many aliases, any are acceptable. For example, #alprazolam is just as good as #xanax.

** If the encounter involved more general questions about a particular class of drug, you can use e.g. #psychedelics.

* <#update> Include this at the end of your notify if this is an update on some previous session involving the same user. If this is a new session, do not include it.

Examples:

* ~notify #tripsitters winter was having a bad trip but was helped by myself and @potato #lsd #psychedelic.

* ~notify #tripsitters winter came back in to let us know that they got a friend to watch over them #update.

==How To Deal with Various Situations==

===Panic attack===

The most important thing to keep in mind is that panic attacks are not dangerous. They usually originate from a negative thought loop and can be stopped by reminding the 'victim' that they are in no danger whatsoever. Usually a short period of breathing exercise (30s) will be able to 'break the cycle' in terms of the thought loop and you will be able to move them onto another subject. Ask the user to shut their eyes, breathe slowly and deeply and clear their mind of everything but their breathing for thirty seconds - and reassure them that once they have done this they will be feeling much better.

Remember, panic attacks are uncomfortable but not dangerous. Failing being able to perform meditation, suggest a change of setting - this can be done most easily by suggesting the user goes to get a glass of water. See our page on [[Panic Attacks|panic attacks]] for more specific information on dealing with a panic attack.

===Possible Overdose===

Ascertain whether just [[Panic Attacks|panic attack]], and beyond that recommend nothing other than seeking immediate medical attention. We aren't doctors. You should be able to use our resources (or failing that, Google) to quickly ascertain whether a dose is dangerous. Don't freak out trippers by saying they may be in danger when they're on, for example, ~1500ug of 25-I-NBOMe (high dose but not dangerous). Get some background from the tripper; 4g of paracetamol (Acetaminophen) won't harm most of the people but if someone already has problems with their liver it is really dangerous.

There is no way to be certain of a users pre-existing tolerance to any one drug and what they say might be nothing more than their perceived tolerance to said drug. As a result, every individual is different. Potential overdoses for one may be a safe recreational dose for another (more tolerant) individual. This means that there is no guaranteed way to know if one is at a significant risk of death from a potential overdose, which is why recommending seeking medical attention is the best thing to do at that point.

See our page on [[Overdose|overdoses]] for more specific information.

===Bad Trip===

Try to identify the reasons why the tripper is having a bad trip. Is it a general fear or anxiety towards the experience?

The most useful defense a tripper can have against bad trips is the ability to change their environment. Changing the music, the lighting, the room or just about anything can have a huge influence on the mindset of a person who is tripping and this makes it an invaluable technique.

Remind the tripper that the trip will end and that they should try to enjoy it while it lasts. Hopefully this will help ground the tripper and that they will realize the effects they are feeling are only temporary and that they should try to make the best out of their experience.

Another way to quickly help the tripper regain control is by helping them focus on their breathing. Deep inhales through the nose, holding it for a few seconds, slowly exhaling through the mouth and holding breath briefly before repeating it all over again. Tripbot has several gifs in ~breathe that can serve as a visual aid for the tripper.

Sometimes all a tripper needs is a distraction from their negative feelings. Use your imagination to find something relevant that the tripper finds interesting. Engage them in a subject they find interesting! For example, ask them what type of music they like and then respond with your music preferences. Perhaps link them to some chill tunes, chill music is always wonderful when tripping. Simple conversation can be calming to the tripper.

Consider also that challenging moments in a trip can be an incredible opportunity for the development of one's character and you may come to the conclusion that many others have - that benzos are great for dulling the effects of psychedelics but really ought to be a last resort. You can draw a parallel outside of the context of illegal drug use to those that drink heavily when times get tough. Instead of dealing with the hurdles that life presents they retreat to the bar, and they tend to be very immature as a result.

If it appears the tripper is now feeling better perhaps suggest that they occupy themselves with an enjoyable simple activity (drawing, jamming to music, watching a movie, '~triptoys' command, etc). Or if the tripper is feeling up for some conversation you should direct them to #sanctuary and explain the chat is a light positive chat for people on substances.

We also have a [[How_To_Deal_With_A_Bad_Trip|full guide on how to deal with a bad trip]].

===Stimulant Induced Panic===
Ask the user how much they’ve taken to ensure that it isn’t a dangerous amount. Find out how long they’ve been awake for, and inquire about their food and water intake. In nearly all cases they will have neglected one or more of these basics. Reassure them the panic will go away when the dietary and rest negligence has been mended. Have the user drink juice, gatorade, other isotonic beverages or water; ideally eat a full meal as well. Fruit, bananas in particular, can be acceptable if the user is too stimulated to eat and in worst case scenarios they can drink water mixed with a pinch of salt, as that will help to retain the water better. It can be hard for the user to disengage and follow through due to the stimulation. Be adamant, but gentle.

The ~breathe command can help them calm down. If the user has started to rehydrate and eat you can start suggesting soothing music. When the user has calmed down and rehydrated suggest they get some sleep to fully recover.
A few food items which are generally easy to eat in stimulated states include things like: shakes, soups or smoothies.

More information about Stimulant Harm Reduction [[Stimulants#Harm_Reduction|Here]]

===Suicidal Users===

If a user is suicidal, check if they're on drugs or coming down. Try and calm them down to the best of your ability using the techniques described in the Bad Trip section. Use your best judgment, but remember we're not mental health professionals and we're not equipped to deal with these situations properly. If you feel their state isn't improving try to figure out what country they're from and direct them to call a suicide hotline, as they know how to help them much better than we do. Tripbot has the command: ~suicide that links to [[Suicidal_Users_Referrals|Suicidal Users Referrals]]. If all attempts fail please contact a staff member.

===Finding and Providing Information===

There is a wealth of useful information which can help provide you and a tripsitee with information on our Wiki or our other resources. You can either browse the Wiki itself at [http://wiki.tripsit.me/ http://wiki.tripsit.me], or various important articles are also stored in tripbot quotes, such as ~stimulant comedowns. You can get bite-sized information about certain drugs and classes of drug in-channel with the '~drug drugname' command. For example, '~drug mdma dose'. You can also get a link to a nice web-page with all the information about a single drug with, for example: ~factsheet 2cb. For a quick overview of drug combinations check out our [[Drug_combinations|Drug Combination Chart]]

==What to Avoid==

*Giving incorrect advice and information. No information is usually better than wrong information. Don't be afraid to ask fellow tripsitters for input when you cannot give correct advice. If you don't know the substance, direct the user to Erowid or get the info yourself and provide it. If there are no other staff members around feel free to ask in #drugs, there are usually people willing to help! in case of an emergency. Don't hesitate to use the command "~tripsit username" replacing "username" with the username of the tripper in need of help. This will notify people on the network.
*Being too talkative to the user, if you can try to let them guide the conversation so they're as comfortable as possible - try to keep the channel relatively un-busy (use the ~busy command!).
*Crowding a user. If the room is already busy and a tripper is already being attended to by 2-3 people then leave it be.
*Try not to express much surprise or confusion at how a tripper is feeling - avoid phrases like "I'm surprised you're still feeling this 20 hours on." Remember, the primary aim is reassurance.
*Negativity. Try to keep all discussion positive and as upbeat as possible. Being a stick in the mud is no good when people around you are tripping.
*Awkward or negative wording - It is obvious that negative input is clearly to be avoided when dealing with a "bad trip" situation, but it is easy to overlook how much of an impact the wording of your advice has on the tripper's mind. Avoid words with a generally negative conotation (for example, panic, death, etc...) and replace them with words that are easier to handle for a tripping brain. For example, "don't panic" can easily be replaced by "stay calm," which is more soothing. Keep wording simple and easy to understand.
*Avoid suggesting the use of harder drugs unless the situation is considered an emergency, or is too severe for any tripsitter to handle. A common example in a tripsitting situation is the suggestion of benzos to kill a trip - in most cases this is entirely unnecessary, and a good bit of personal tripsitting is all a user needs to be calmed.

Staff Orientation

2021-11-22T01:26:51Z

Winter: /* IRC */

= Introduction =

This document is the primary staff orientation document. It includes a general overview of the network, and coverage of staff members‘ duties, responsibilities, and expectations. Articles containing additional information, including specific information related to particular staff roles will also be linked from here. Please ensure that you are familiar with these articles, as they will teach you what you need to know to perform your role.

= History =

The TripSit network was founded by Techno_shaman (Teknos) in reddit.com/r/tripsit on September 26th, 2011. It progressed into an IRC channel on September 2, 2012 and continues to increase its focus around harm reduction and providing a safe community for the world's Psychonaut community. It has since grown into a website, live web radio, and social network. So far, we have helped countless people in many different ways. We have been featured by MAPS and we've had several news articles written about us. We're currently expanding our social network and working on developing a real-life presence at festivals and concerts, and you're invited to be a part in the next step in growing our network.

= Staff Duties and Guidelines =

Staff members are positive, nice, respectful and professional in their dealings with members whether regular or staff; they represent the entire network! We want people who have leadership skills and can enforce rules while still promoting a positive environment. They guide conversation to an acceptable level of quality by being firm, while maintaining a positive and supportive attitude.

All staff members agree to uphold the [http://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/Code_of_Conduct code of conduct].

== Keep the Peace ==

You will be expected to know the network policies and procedures as listed [http://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/TripSit_Rules here]. Regardless of their role, staff will enforce our rules, recognize misinformation, request citations when needed, and deal with trolls. Remember: No info > bad info. If a user is trolling, becoming overly aggressive, or otherwise causing a problem, staff may ~quiet (syntax below) them in #tripsit and #sanctuary, and ~report them in other channels. Non-staff are welcome to ~report them, and a staff member will come by to take care of it. Refer to the [https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/Rule_Breaking_Procedure rule breaking procedure] for more information.

== Populate other channels ==

Move conversations to appropriate channels, for example: '''#psychonaut''' for spiritual talk, '''#lounge''' for general chat, '''#psychopharm''' for chemistry discussion, '''#sanctuary'' for positive trip environment' and '''#tripsitvip''' for regulars chat.

== Be Involved ==

Try to get involved with the various other TripSit projects. Learn to DJ, contribute to the Wiki. Contribute Contribute Contribute! We want you on the team! We want your input! Speak to operators or admins to find out what you can work on.

=Staff Roles=

While we want all of our staff members to be role models and regular contributors. All staff supervise and advance a part of the TripSit network. Please ensure you are familiar with the role-specific orientation documents linked below.

* [https://wiki.tripsit.me/index.php?title=TripSitter_Orientation TripSitters] – These are the backbone of the network. Providing assistance in our tripsitting channels, and limited user management.

* [http://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/Moderator_Orientation Moderators] – Keeping the peace and ensuring a positive environment throughout the network.
* [https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/Contributor_Orientation Contributors] - Contribute to the HR resources provided by TripSit.

= Communication and Resources =

Communication is extremely important and as such our team communicates in a number of different ways.

== IRC ==

=== Required Staff Channels ===

All staff members should be on at least these channels:

* '''#tripsit''', '''#tripsit1''', '''#tripsit2''', '''#tripsit3''': Our flagship channels for immediate assistance. Please idle here and if you see someone ping you with the !tripsit or ~tripsit command do your best to respond. Remember: KIP! (Keep it positive!)

* '''#tripsitters''': Our "control room" for discussing and managing experiences in #tripsit. Use this channel to discuss tripsitting cases, and to help other tripsitters.

* '''#drugs''': This channel is not your main priority but you are welcome to help guide the conversation here. This channel is by far our network's busiest channel.

* '''#teamtripsit''': This is our primary staff communication channel. Please put this on your autojoin to discuss events on the network with other staff. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask questions! This is a channel for all staff to discuss network issues. #tripsit issues take priority here and social chat will need to stop if a tripsitter needs assistance. You may be asked to move a social conversation to #tripsitvip if it is quiet.

=== Other Staff Rooms ===

*'''#tripsit.me''': This is the meta-TripSit channel. We discuss things that impact the network outside of IRC or when a serious issue needs to be talked about in a quieter room. Tripsitters are welcome to join to discuss a particular issue but not to idle. Other non-staff may join this room to discuss an issue with the upper-admin team, but they are not allowed to idle after their issue is resolved.


=== Emails ===

Staff members are entitled to an @tripsit.me email address when needed for communication. This email should be used for staff communication only.

=== /r/tripsit subreddit ===

Remember that a fair amount of tripsitting happens on the /r/tripsit subreddit, so try to check there frequently for anyone who needs help! If you're a heavy reddit user, you can ask Teknos to be made a moderator on the subreddit. Once this happens, you will be asked to comment and flair posts.

=== Wiki ===

This Wiki is a good source for information about the network, harm reduction information and staff information.
Especially [https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/Category:Guides index of Guides]

= Basic Staff Commands =

This section will list the basic tripbot commands you'll use in the course of your activity as staff. There are additional commands relevant to your particular position described on the orientation page for that role. [http://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/List_of_IRC_bot_commands This page] also describes some more general tripbot commands.

== Report ==

'''Syntax: /msg tripbot ~report <#room> <user> <message>'''

As a Tripsitter, this command will primarily be used to get the attention of more staff to a problem user in channels besides the #tripsit channels or #sanctuary. This will send a notice to everyone voiced in the room reported to. In dealing with a report, you will have the ability to ~quiet users (explained below), and we ask that you send a ~notify to #teamtripsit to acknowledge that staff has followed through on the report and what the outcome was. Encourage regular users to employ use of this command, we rely on reports to know when things are not right.

Example: /msg tripbot ~report #drugs Teknos is being a jerk.

==Note==

"Syntax: /msg tripbot ~addnote <user> <message>

This command is for adding notes to users. The user won't get notified about it. The intention is to put information in here that you find relevant. Some examples would be if you quieted a user and forgot to put in a reason. You've given a user a verbal warning or if a user is asking about dangerous combos / refusing HR advice.

To display the notes of a user, run ~notes <user>

== Notify ==

/msg TripBot ~notify <channel> <event>

Staff can use the ~notify command to keep records of events on the network. This is used when something happens that doesn't fit elsewhere, and you feel it would be good information to recall later. You can notify different levels of staff by choosing the channel you send the notify to. For example, notifying #moderators will notify all Moderators and above, while notifying #teamtripsit will include TripSitters and above.

= Applications and New Staff =

If you or someone you know wants to join Team TripSit then direct them to [http://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/Application this page].

TripSitter Orientation

2021-11-22T01:25:38Z

Winter: /* Commands */

= Introduction =

Our primary goal as TripSit is to tripsit the universe. As such, Tripsitters are the backbone of our network, and their function is to provide assistance to drug users throughout the network - primarily in our tripsitting channels. Without their selfless efforts we would not be here today. Each of us have stepped up in the #tripsit rooms to help people and it's a rite of passage to advance to other positions in the network. As such we have fairly high standards for our tripsitters and expect the best of them.

Never be afraid to defer a question to another member of the team by asking in #teamtripsit or even by using the '~tripsit user' command to call for help. Remember that no information is always preferable to incorrect information.

You can find a guide on how to TripSit users [http://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/How_To_Tripsit_Online here]. Please also make sure you are familiar with our general [https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/Orientation staff orientation].

== Redirecting Users ==

There's no telling when a serious case will come in that could seriously alter the mood of other people in the room. It can also become quite chaotic and difficult for people under the influence when there are multiple conversations going on in the room at once. For these reasons we attempt to keep the assistance channels relatively clear for users who are in need of help. We do so by assessing the situation of the person, and then suggest they join another room on the network if necessary. Also, sometimes a user enters the channel looking for general chat. In both of these situations, you can direct them to an appropriate channel.

Some good channels to keep in mind for different circumstances are:

* #drugs - For when the person has high-energy and wants a super-active chat. Avoid suggesting this channel if the person is easily confused or in a fragile mental state.

* #lounge - Generally a lot more quiet than #drugs, this room can be used as a back-up room if #sanctuary is too crowded, or for smaller chats with people who want to socialize, but not in #drugs

* #sanctuary - You are encouraged to use #sanctuary as a place to send users who are on drugs but would rather have lighter, more positive, conversation than #drugs. If a user is on drugs, and needs a quieter chat or perhaps some lighter tripsitting, or if #tripsit is already busy, attempt to redirect them to #sanctuary. This room has enforced positivity knowing that people who are currently on substances will be here. Avoid sending more rambunctious or loud users here.

If a user is on a substance and being spoken to, though not in any particular 'trouble', there is no need to move them to another room as a matter of urgency unless there is another situation happening in the channel - though these cases should eventually be moved to #sanctuary. You can take your time to make sure they're okay before moving them.

'''General drug questions may be answered in the assistance channels, there is no need to redirect these cases unless the rooms are busy.'''

== Managing Tripsitters ==

The #tripsitters channel is our control room for discussing and managing tripsitting encounters. As a tripsitter staff member you will be expected to lead other people who are helping in providing an organised and quality tripsitting experience to our users.

This involves pulling people who are helping out in the assistance channels into #tripsitters, and using it to give tips and help to people who are helping. You can also monitor this channel to see a summary of activity in the assistance channels, and receive alerts for when somebody needs help or may not be receiving help (are talking to themselves in the channel).

== Emergency Situations ==

Rarely, a user who joins an assistance channel is in a state beyond help. This can arise from them simply being unresponsive or refusing to accept advice in the face of dangerous behaviour, or in the case that the user needs to seek medical attention. In such a case, it's acceptable to ~quiet the user in #tripsit, with a note of what the user needs to do. For example, in the past we have quieted users with the reason of "Call EMS immediately".

Since these cases are rare and these measures should not be applied lightly, it's generally a good idea to discuss the user in #teamtripsit and get some confirmation that we cannot help. If the user continues to cause problems on the network after being quieted in the assistance channel, refer the situation to a moderator. If you need immediate help with a situation and can't get anyone to respond in #teamtripsit, using the ~teamtripsit command will ping everyone in the channel, hopefully getting someone's attention.

== Crowding ==

If a user is already being helped, use your common sense to decide whether you should get involved in the situation. If a person is already receiving adequate help then it is often better to just keep an eye on the situation to ensure this continues, or advise in #teamtripsit - overcrowding a user under the influence can often be confusing.

If you are entering an on-going tripsitting session, try to either read the scrollback or read any notifications made for this user to gain the wider context before joining the fray.

= Commands =

This section contains some specific usage information for commands relevant to tripsitter staff.

== Notifications ==

As a tripsitter, you will receive general notifications and updates via tripbot notifications in PM. Tripbot also automatically generates reports for tripsitting encounters, which you can monitor in the #tripsitters channel.

You're not required to do notifications for tripsitting encounters, however if you would like to go above and beyond, you can certainly make a new notify with extra details not contained in the first notify, called an update notification. The details of how to send an update notify are so:

'''Syntax: /msg tripbot ~notify <#room> <message> <@assistant> <#drug> <#update>'''

* <#room> is the room that you want the command to be sent to. Everyone voiced in that room will receive the notification. You need to prefix this with #.

* <user> is the nickname of the user who was assisted and should always be the first word in the notify. Tripbot automatically attaches the host of the first word to the notify.

* <message> is whatever the new information is. Maybe someone's experience quickly spiraled downhill, or perhaps they improved!

* <@assistant> are other people in the channel who helped you out with the <user>. You need to prefix each assistant with a @ before their username.

* <#drug> is the name of the drug which was involved, you can include one or more which were involved.

** If a drug has many aliases, any are acceptable. For example, #alprazolam is just as good as #xanax.

** If the encounter involved more general questions about a particular class of drug, you can use e.g. #psychedelics.

* <#update> This signifies that the notify you're sending is not for a new person, but updating the status of someone who has already been helped.

Examples:

* ~notify #tripsit Tripsitme_8192 came back in to let us know that they got a friend to watch over them.

* ~notify #tripsit Tripsitme_8192 @toasterlizard also helped #update.

You are also encouraged to use the function to notify #teamtripsit if you wish to send announcements to other staff. Use this as much as you'd like. Notifications sent to you while offline will be stored and you'll be notified of them when you next log into IRC.

== #tripsit Entry Alerts ==

Entry Alerts will alert you when a previously unrecognised user enters #tripsit who may potentially need help.

~gettripsitentries to receive them, ~notripsitentries to stop receiving them.

== Timeouts and Quiets ==

Users who refuse to cooperate with staff or otherwise break the rules may be quieted depending on the severity of the infraction. As a TripSitter, and in keeping the peace, this is something you may need to do at times. Typically, a simple 10 minute timeout will suffice, but a more lengthy quiet may be called for if the user is persistent in breaking rules. The syntax for quieting users is as follows:

'''Syntax: /msg tripbot ~quiet <duration> [m|h] <#channel> <user> <reason>

A 10 minute timeout can be invoked like this:

'''Syntax: ~timout <user> <reason>

Staff Orientation

2021-11-22T01:18:45Z

Winter: /* Note */

= Introduction =

This document is the primary staff orientation document. It includes a general overview of the network, and coverage of staff members‘ duties, responsibilities, and expectations. Articles containing additional information, including specific information related to particular staff roles will also be linked from here. Please ensure that you are familiar with these articles, as they will teach you what you need to know to perform your role.

= History =

The TripSit network was founded by Techno_shaman (Teknos) in reddit.com/r/tripsit on September 26th, 2011. It progressed into an IRC channel on September 2, 2012 and continues to increase its focus around harm reduction and providing a safe community for the world's Psychonaut community. It has since grown into a website, live web radio, and social network. So far, we have helped countless people in many different ways. We have been featured by MAPS and we've had several news articles written about us. We're currently expanding our social network and working on developing a real-life presence at festivals and concerts, and you're invited to be a part in the next step in growing our network.

= Staff Duties and Guidelines =

Staff members are positive, nice, respectful and professional in their dealings with members whether regular or staff; they represent the entire network! We want people who have leadership skills and can enforce rules while still promoting a positive environment. They guide conversation to an acceptable level of quality by being firm, while maintaining a positive and supportive attitude.

All staff members agree to uphold the [http://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/Code_of_Conduct code of conduct].

== Keep the Peace ==

You will be expected to know the network policies and procedures as listed [http://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/TripSit_Rules here]. Regardless of their role, staff will enforce our rules, recognize misinformation, request citations when needed, and deal with trolls. Remember: No info > bad info. If a user is trolling, becoming overly aggressive, or otherwise causing a problem, staff may ~quiet (syntax below) them in #tripsit and #sanctuary, and ~report them in other channels. Non-staff are welcome to ~report them, and a staff member will come by to take care of it. Refer to the [https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/Rule_Breaking_Procedure rule breaking procedure] for more information.

== Populate other channels ==

Move conversations to appropriate channels, for example: '''#psychonaut''' for spiritual talk, '''#lounge''' for general chat, '''#psychopharm''' for chemistry discussion, '''#sanctuary'' for positive trip environment' and '''#tripsitvip''' for regulars chat.

== Be Involved ==

Try to get involved with the various other TripSit projects. Learn to DJ, contribute to the Wiki. Contribute Contribute Contribute! We want you on the team! We want your input! Speak to operators or admins to find out what you can work on.

=Staff Roles=

While we want all of our staff members to be role models and regular contributors. All staff supervise and advance a part of the TripSit network. Please ensure you are familiar with the role-specific orientation documents linked below.

* [https://wiki.tripsit.me/index.php?title=TripSitter_Orientation TripSitters] – These are the backbone of the network. Providing assistance in our tripsitting channels, and limited user management.

* [http://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/Moderator_Orientation Moderators] – Keeping the peace and ensuring a positive environment throughout the network.
* [https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/Contributor_Orientation Contributors] - Contribute to the HR resources provided by TripSit.

= Communication and Resources =

Communication is extremely important and as such our team communicates in a number of different ways.

== IRC ==

=== Required Staff Channels ===

All staff members should be on at least these channels:

* '''#tripsit''', '''#tripsit1''', '''#tripsit2''', '''#tripsit3''': Our flagship channels for immediate assistance. Please idle here and if you see someone ping you with the !tripsit or ~tripsit command do your best to respond. Remember: KIP! (Keep it positive!)

* '''#tripsitters''': Our "control room" for discussing and managing experiences in #tripsit. Use this channel to discuss tripsitting cases, and to help other tripsitters.

* '''#drugs''': This channel is not your main priority but you are welcome to help guide the conversation here. This channel is by far our network's busiest channel.

* '''#teamtripsit''': This is our primary staff communication channel. Please put this on your autojoin to discuss events on the network with other staff. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask questions! This is a channel for all staff to discuss network issues. #tripsit issues take priority here and social chat will need to stop if a tripsitter needs assistance. You may be asked to move a social conversation to #tripsitvip if it is quiet.

=== Other Staff Rooms ===

*'''#tripsit.me''': This is the meta-TripSit channel. We discuss things that impact the network outside of IRC or when a serious issue needs to be talked about in a quieter room. Tripsitters are welcome to join to discuss a particular issue but not to idle. Other non-staff may join this room to discuss an issue with the upper-admin team, but they are not allowed to idle after their issue is resolved.

=== TripCloud ===

TripCloud is our document handling platform, hosted [https://cloud.tripsit.me here]. We have a large amount of documents here on different subjects.

*Only staff members have access to the cloud by default. Message an admin if you lack access.

=== Emails ===

Staff members are entitled to an @tripsit.me email address when needed for communication. This email should be used for staff communication only.

=== /r/tripsit subreddit ===

Remember that a fair amount of tripsitting happens on the /r/tripsit subreddit, so try to check there frequently for anyone who needs help! If you're a heavy reddit user, you can ask Teknos to be made a moderator on the subreddit. Once this happens, you will be asked to comment and flair posts.

=== Wiki ===

This Wiki is a good source for information about the network, harm reduction information and staff information.
Especially [https://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/Category:Guides index of Guides]

= Basic Staff Commands =

This section will list the basic tripbot commands you'll use in the course of your activity as staff. There are additional commands relevant to your particular position described on the orientation page for that role. [http://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/List_of_IRC_bot_commands This page] also describes some more general tripbot commands.

== Report ==

'''Syntax: /msg tripbot ~report <#room> <user> <message>'''

As a Tripsitter, this command will primarily be used to get the attention of more staff to a problem user in channels besides the #tripsit channels or #sanctuary. This will send a notice to everyone voiced in the room reported to. In dealing with a report, you will have the ability to ~quiet users (explained below), and we ask that you send a ~notify to #teamtripsit to acknowledge that staff has followed through on the report and what the outcome was. Encourage regular users to employ use of this command, we rely on reports to know when things are not right.

Example: /msg tripbot ~report #drugs Teknos is being a jerk.

==Note==

"Syntax: /msg tripbot ~addnote <user> <message>

This command is for adding notes to users. The user won't get notified about it. The intention is to put information in here that you find relevant. Some examples would be if you quieted a user and forgot to put in a reason. You've given a user a verbal warning or if a user is asking about dangerous combos / refusing HR advice.

To display the notes of a user, run ~notes <user>

== Notify ==

/msg TripBot ~notify <channel> <event>

Staff can use the ~notify command to keep records of events on the network. This is used when something happens that doesn't fit elsewhere, and you feel it would be good information to recall later. You can notify different levels of staff by choosing the channel you send the notify to. For example, notifying #moderators will notify all Moderators and above, while notifying #teamtripsit will include TripSitters and above.
