Use this property sheet to set the channel's member limit, assign a content rating, and designate the preferred language for the channel.
This property sheet contains the following options.
| Option | Description |
| Member limit | Sets the maximum number of members who can join the channel. You can set a value from 0 to 48000. If this limit is set to 0, the channel uses the default member limit on the service's Channels property sheet. |
| Client-specific data | Designates a text string that chat client developers can use to pass instructions or parameters to custom clients. This string is limited to 255 ANSI or Unicode characters. You can also use this string to send a client's Globally Unique Identifier (GUID), which represents an ActiveX control that runs on the client. A GUID is a unique number that identifies a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. The GUID is generated when the DLL is registered. An example of a GUID is {F1CC3C17-09E3-11d1-873D-00C04FB6E8E9}. |
| Content rating (PICS) | Designates a Platform for Internet Content Selection (PICS) label that allows you to rate the channel based on its content. The server passes the PICS string to the chat client, which interprets it and allows (or prevents) access to the channel. The PICS string, which is limited to 255 characters, is generated and provided by ratings organizations such as SafeSurf or the Recreational Software Advisory Council (RSAC). Visit the Web site of one of these organizations to acquire a PICS string, and then type (or paste) it into the channel's Content rating (PICS) box. |
| Language code | Designates the preferred language for the channel. Use the language codes specified in International Standards Organization (ISO) 639 (for example, EN for English, FR for French, and so on). These are the same codes used by Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). As an option, you can also include the ISO 3166 country code. For example, to designate British English as the preferred language, use EN-GB. The language code is limited to 31 characters. |
