In the picture above, there are 6 number of participants. They are fragment, cyrax, tommygrl, MillrTime, Swan, and Passion. The topic is about someone who has illogical and unorthodox characther. You're probably asking why some people have a @ or a + next to their name. These symbols next to a name or nick represents the status or position of that person in the Channel.

@ designates an Op, or Operator. This is used primarily OCC Staff, and anyone else delegated to help moderate the OCC IRC Channel. Ops have the ability to kick users from the channel, or ban users for violations of the rules. + designates a voiced user. For the purposes of the OCC IRC Channel, these people are dedicated members of the channel, who help others. They have been voiced to distinguish themselves from normal people in the chat. Keep in mind, this is only what the voiced + status represents in the OCC IRC Channel. The actual intention of + status, is for what is called a moderated IRC Channel. In these types of channels, only Ops, and voiced people are allowed to talk. This is common at developer chats on networks such as irc.stratics.com and irc.enterthegame.com.
