I am unable to pariticpate in the active traders channel. I get a message that channel moderation is in effect and that i am not voiced. What can be done about this.

The chat servers and the web site are running on different user databases.  Each room within the chat server maintains it's own user list - some rooms such as ActiveTrader are moderated. The moderation is due to the fact that a room with nearly 1000 people makes it a target for spammers and or malcontents that may use offensive language or offtopic posts.Users who are registered on the chat server can be added to the user list for the room and they will automatically be "voiced" when they log in.  For ActiveTrader we also run a script which voices everyone periodically throughout the day.
