Description |
| b [user] | This bans a user in nick!user@host form. Obtaining the user address is available by
typing /whois [nick] and adding asterisks where dynamic areas are in the user@host. For example, to place a
channel ban on all nicks with the user id 'benice' connected from any location using xyz network, you would type: /mode
#channel +b *!benice@*.xyz.net
|
| i | Channel is set to invite-only. Only users who are invited by a channel operator can join the
channel. |
| k [key] | This sets a key on the channel. Only users typing /join #channel [key] can
join the channel. It acts as a password. For example, to set a key 'OpenSaysMe' for #channel type: /mode #channel
+k OpenSaysMe |
| l [number] | Channel is limited to max number of users. If this number is exceeded, they cannot
join the channel. For example, to set a channel allowing only 25 users type, /mode #channel +l 25 |
| m | Channel is moderated. Only user with operator flags (@ with their nicks) and voice flags (+
with their nicks) can talk in a moderated channel. See 'v' on setting voice mode and 'o' on setting operator
mode. |
| n | No external messages to channel are allowed. When you are not in a channel, you can still send
messages to it, by typing /msg #channel some_text. The /mode #channel +n prevents outside users
sending messages inside channel. |
| o [nick] | Makes nick a channel operator. For example, /mode #channel +o user52 gives
the nick 'user52' on #channel operator status. |
| p | Channel is private. When a /whois nick is performed on anyone in a private channel,
the channel will not be displayed in the /whois result. |
| s | Channel is secret. This channel does not show up in a channel listing. It also acts as a
private channel when typing /whois nick |
| t | Topic is locked and limited. Only channel operators can set and change topics using
/topic #channel [text] |
| v #channel [nick] | Gives a user voice on a moderated channel. This user can chat when the channel
is set to +m and when banned. Example: /mode #channel +v nick and type /mode #channel -v nick to
remove voice so nick cannot chat on channel. |
