Can I be a Bouboum moderator?
The requirements to becoming a mod are age 18+, mature behavior and all around good spirits. In general, the more you ask to become a mod, the more likely you won't become one.
If you meet the above requirements, you can apply when we're taking applications. However, applications are currently not open at the moment. There will be an announcement on the forums when we are taking applications, so check back periodically!

I've found a hacker! How can I report them?
You can report hackers using the report system. Click on the person's name in the chat box, or in the playerlist, and select report. You can also report people using the report command: /report username. Alternatively, you can contact an online Moderator directly.

How can I play Bouboum using fullscreen?
You can play Bouboum in fullscreen by pressing the fullscreen button.

I've been kicked by a room, what should I do?
There is no such thing as voteban anymore; instead you get kicked from that room and you're unable to rejoin it for an hour. Simply join another room.

A player is annoying me. What should I do?
You can mute a player by using the command /ignore <username>. You will no longer receive whispers nor chat messages from them. If you feel they are being extremely abusive or insulting in public chat, please consult a moderator.

How can I contact a Moderator?
Currently there are no public Bouboum moderators. To report someone for breaking the rules, use /report. For other issues, contact a Transformice moderator by typing "/c cfmbot modlist" and whispering one of the names listed, or talk to a mod on IRC.

How many times do I need to be banned for it to become permanent?
There is no longer a set amount of ban hours required for a permanent ban. Permanent bans are given out where appropriate.

Can you create a community for my country?
Commmunities are created if there are enough users from that country playing Bouboum or Transformice. The admins have access to very precise stats, so if there is a need for a community for your country, it will be created!

What are tribes?
Tribes are small groups of friends. They have a private chat and other interesting features such as ranking and a tribe house! Head over to the Tribes section to find out more information about Tribes.

How do I join a tribe?
