That questioned is answered here, but in a nutshell, you type in a word that, if said by someone, will 'ping' you with a sound and/or desktop notification.

Say I'm a moderator, and one of my duties is to watch out for swear words, as they are not allowed. I can enter these swear words into a list. As a result, every time someone does swear, I will get notified of it, and I can immediately take action.

That is how chat pings work. Hope this helps!
