-> FlashVSI users:
Reminder about keys usage in FlashVSI: As keys also include privileges from lower-level keys, when you associate a key to a room in the favorite rooms and room keys list (FlashVSI settings dialog, "My rooms" tab), it is recommended to type in the highest key you are aware of for the room. When you activate automatical keys usage, FlashVSI will optimally use your keys each time you join a chatroom, even when using the /hop command.
