i'm gonna update my chat scripts soon to exclude the "awaiting e-mail confirmation" group and the "awaiting moderation" group as well as my own personal "Bad Peeps" group that i put bad people into

. it's a simple condition. i'm gonna add a couple more templates for those conditions too. for example, if you are in the "awaiting e-mail confirmation" group and try to log into chat it will say, "Sorry, you have not completed the registration process. You need to verify your e-mail address by clicking the link in the e-mail you were sent." little stuff like that.
the current scripts only check if you have a username. well, the above two mentioned groups are going to have user names so they are allowed to chat when they probably shouldn't be allowed to. i'm gonna patch up those holes.. complete with error pages for each condition.
