| +b | +b stands for channel bans and allows a channel operator to
deny a person (or a group of people) access to the channel. If someone is
banned while in the channel, they will not be able to talk. This additional
feature is known as the +bquiet mode, although
the actual mode is still just +b. In addition /part messages will be
suppressed. However, this will not affect anyone having the except mode +e
on his host which is discussed below.
Syntax: /mode #channelname +/-b {hosts}
Example: /mode #tg007 +b-bb *!*@annoying.pest.com *!*@*.ca *!~@*.msn.com
|
| +c |
The +c mode stands for colorless. If a message sent to the channel contains
color codes (supported by most
IRC clients) or control codes (including bold, underline, reverse, etc.),
the message will be blocked as if the channel was moderated for that person.
|
| +e | +e stands for
except which excepts users from the channel who match a hostmask in the
banlist allowing them to join. When a hostmask is set in the except list,the
mode +e overrides the ban on the user that matches the hostmask.
Syntax: /mode #channelname +/-e {hosts}
Example: /mode #tg007 +e err0r!*@*.tg007 |
| +i | Setting a
channel to invite only will only allow those who have been invited to the
channel (with the /invite command or in the channel's invite list) to join
the channel. |
| +I | This mode
allows a channel operator to set a list of users who are allowed to join a +i
(invite only) channel.
Syntax: /mode #channelname +/-I {hosts}
Example: /mode #tg007 +I err0r!*@*.tg007 |
| +j | The +j mode is
used for Channel join throttling. It is useful to control join floods by
determining the N number of users to join in S seconds. Syntax: /mode #channelname +/-j
N:S
Example: /mode #tg007 +j 4:5 |
| +k | The key of the channel is a word
that you must specify in your /join command when attempting to enter the
channel. If the key was incorrect or if no key was specified then you will
be denied access to this channel. Syntax: /mode #channelname +/-k
key
Example: /mode #tg007 +k testing
Anybody joining the channel will need to use the /join #channelname key
command. In our case, it would be /join #tg007 testing |
| +l | The channel limit allows you to
specify the maximum number of users who can be in the channel at a time.
Once this number has been reached, anyone who attempts to join the
channel will receive an error message of the channel being full. Syntax: /mode #channelname +/-l
number
Example: /mode #tg007 +l 25 |
| +L | The +L mode is currently not
used for anything on DAL.net although it is implemented into the current
releases of the Bahamut IRCD. +L is moderated /list. If switched on, only
channels with +L will appear in the /list. The +L mode has been reserved for
future. |
| +m | A moderated channel only allows
the ops (@) and voices (+) to send messages to the channel. All other
messages will be blocked. Anyone who is present in a moderated channel and
who is not an op or voice there will also be prevented from changing their
nickname. |
| +M | +M stands for only registered
nicks may talk. Similar to the +R mode only those who are using and have
identified to their current nick name (in other words, those who are set to
umode +r) are allowed to speak in the channel although anybody may join.
Unregistered nicks who are on a channel after +M is set will lose the
ability to send messages to the channel until they become umode +r. |
| +n | The +n stands for no external
messages. If +n is not set then it's possible for someone to send messages
to the channel even if they are not present inside the channel. |
| +o | A channel operator is designated
by the @ next to their nick. This @ translates into the giving and removal
of the +o mode. Some IRC clients may use a symbol other than @ for pointing
out channel ops. Syntax: /mode #channelname +/-o
nickname(s)
Example: /mode #tg007 +oo-o err0r ozzy10 X-fusion
A channel operator has the ability to kick/ban people from the channel
in addition to being one of the only ones who can change the channel
modes of the channel. |
| +O | The +O mode stands for oper
only. Basically, it only allows those with umode +o (IRC Operators) to join
the channel. This mode can only be set by an IRC Operator. |
| +p | A private channel is not shown
on the WHOIS output unless the person requesting the WHOIS is also on the
channel. |
| +r | The +r mode can only be set by
services itself and indicates that the channel in question is registered
with ChanServ. This mode has been removed. |
| +R | +R stands for registered
nicknames only. As its name implies, only those who are using and have
identified to their current nickname (in other words, those who are set to
umode +r) are allowed to enter the channel. |
| +s | A secret channel is not shown on
the WHOIS output unless the person requesting the WHOIS is also on the
channel. In addition to this, a secret channel doesn't show up on a channel
LIST request either. There's no need to set the +p mode if you already have
+s set, as it would be redundant. |
| +t | When +t is set, only the ops of
the channel can change the topic. |
| +v | As already mentioned above, when
a channel is moderated (+m), only the channel ops and the channel voices can
send messages to the channel. Only channel ops can add or remove voices. Syntax: /mode #channelname +/-v
nickname(s)
Example: /mode #tg007 +vv-v err0r ozzy10 X-fusion
It should be noted that in many places, voiced users are considered as
the friends of the ops and are often treated as ops in training. This
is, however, not true for all channels. |
| +i | +i is also known as the invisible
mode. While it does not actually make you invisible on IRC, it can make you
quite a bit more difficult to find. To put it briefly, the invisible mode
prevents people from finding you unless they know your exact nickname or are
on the same channel as you. Please note that a lot of servers actually set
you to +i automatically when you first connect.
When not set to +i, a fellow user can locate you through the /who or through
the /names #channelname command. IRC Operators also have the ability to see
someone regardless of whether they are invisible or not. |
| +r | The +r mode can only be set by
services itself and indicates that you are using and have identified to a
registered nickname. When using the /whois command on someone who is set to
+r, an extra line will appear in the WHOIS output, indicating that they have
identified to the nickname they are using. |
| +R | The +R mode can be set by any
connect client and does not allow a client who is not umode +r to message
the client. Please note that the umode +R client are not able to message the
client who is not umode +r too. This includes private messages and CTCPs. A
+R client will be able to receive messages from +o clients. |
| +s | Setting yourself +s is a request to
the server to send you all the generic server messages and information about
oper kills. This can turn into quite a flood. |
| +w | Wallops are network wide messages
sent by IRC Operators to each other. Any user who is set to +w will also be
able to observe the conversation. |
| +o | The +o mode designates whether
someone is an IRC Operator or not and is just about the only mode that
cannot be obtained through the /mode command.
The command for a valid IRC Operator to "oper up" is:
Syntax: /mode #channelname +/-v nickname(s)
While obtaining the +o mode may be done through a different command, the
/mode is still used for "deopering", in other words to remove the IRC Operator priviledges.
Syntax: /mode nickname -o
When opered, the
WHOIS output of the IRCop reflects their status. Some servers may have
modified their server theme to change the standard message, however, it
should still be evident. |
| +a | Will allow the use of the /samode
command in addition to adding a line of the IRC Operator's WHOIS output,
designating them as a Services Administrator. |
| +A | Adds a line of the IRC Operator's
WHOIS output, designating them as a Server Administrator. Server
Administators have the ability to see +s (secret) and +p (private) channels.
Server Administrators are also automatically set to +a. |
| +b | Allows an IRC Operator to view oper
chatop messages. |
| +c | The +c mode entitles IRC Operators
to receive a notice everytime someone connects to or disconnects from the
server they are on. Due to the large number of users on DALnet, this mode is
rarely used these days as it would cause an enormous flood. |
| +d | Allows for viewing of debug
messages. |
| +e | +e is strongly related to the
DCCALLOW feature and will display any file transfers that were stopped at
the server level. |
| +f | The +f is a mode that alerts an IRC
Operator everytime someone on their server gets flooded or gets disconnected
for excess flood. Channels that are protected by the built-in flood
protection will also be pointed out whenever the flood protection triggers. |
| +F | Can bypass the ircd's recvq
throttling |
| +g | Allows an IRC Operator to view oper
globop messages. This mode can actually be set by a normal user but it won't
do anything for them. Originally, +g was used for global messages. However,
with the arrival of Bahamut, it was changed to the flag for globops instead. |
| +h | +h is also referred to as the
"helpful" mode. When set, an IRC Operator will show up in a /stats p
request on their server along with their idle time. |
| +I | +I hides the server info. Which
means that the server part will not be displayed in a /whois output. |
| +j | Setting yourself +j is a request to
the server to send you rejected drone connection notices. |
| +k | The +k stands for KILL messages and
it will instruct the server to send you all the server kill messages. This
can cause quite a flood though. |
| +K | Setting yourself +K is a request to
the server to send you kill notices from U:lined servers. |
| +m | Reports possible spambots and failed
targets. |
| +n | Once +n is set, the IRC Operator in
question will be able to view server routing notices. |
| +x/X | +x/X is used for Squelch and
Silent Squelch. Stops a user transmitting, for example it stops their
PRIVMSG. Only settable by U:lined servers. |
| +y | The +y mode enables an IRC Operator
to see certain commands sent from an user or another IRCop. Most notibly,
stats/links/admin requests are displayed. |
