if you are admin you should have 3 options when you click on there name/id
1. msg
2. ban
3. mute

For networking, you can use the rednet API or the modem API to send and receive messages to and from the server. With your system, you could probably get away with just sending, the client's name, the type of message, and the recipient if it's a pm. Then, you would just have the server decode the message and send it back out for some other computers to catch.

You'll need to know how to catch the events from the rednet API. Take a look here.

For the GUI, it seems simple enough to just use the barebones term API.

Also, don't forget that there is a tutorial section if you can't figure something out. If you're still stuck and you have written some of your own code, just ask again here.
