NOTE: whenever you can, please use the !delete or RegEx replace form of !report instead of the regular !report, which takes longer to approve!
If you are a Registered User, you have special powers! Namely: marking questions for deletion; adding new questions; and submitting edits for approval.
All of these commands can be used in #trivia, as well as via private message with ainu. However, make sure you specify the #trivia channel name immediately after the command if you're doing the latter.
By default, your hostmask should be registered with your username, and you won't need to login. If you have problems however, use the following command with your username and password:
/msg ainu !user identify <username> <password>
With the username and password with which you should have been provided.
This method uses RegEx (Regular Expressions) to replace text. It is CaSe SeNsItIvE, and special characters need to be escaped with a \, e.g. \( or \).
!report <round number> s/<original text>/<new text>
