The following table shows examples of scenarios that are possible using the Chat Server Extensibility SDK.
| Extension scenario | Description |
|---|---|
| Custom logging | This extension might monitor server, channel, and user events and log those events to a file or database. For a Visual Basic example of such an extension, see LogMonitor Sample. |
| Language monitor | This extension prevents channels that contain "illegal" topic strings from being created, and either automatically disconnects users who use foul language, or obscures inappropriate text with a string of asterisks. For an example of this kind of extension, see MsgFilter Sample. |
| News service | This extension might monitor a news or stock feed, and immediately forward this information as text to a specific channel. Access to the feed could be controlled by security entries on the channel, which would allow the supplier to charge for receiving the feed. |
| Nickname registrar | This extension monitors logons and nickname changes and allows users to reserve their favorite names within the server. Users who attempt to change their nickname to a reserved name are asked to choose another one. |
| Topic modifier | This extension only permits valid ASCII characters to be present in a channel topic. All other characters are removed when the channel is created. For a Visual Basic example of such an extension, refer to MangleTopic Sample. |
