IRC roles, commands and modes
Tripbot Commands
~quiet 15 username reason
Sets +q on a user for the given time and reason
Preffered over chanserv quiet for documentation and timed quiet reasons.
~unquiet user
Remove a quiet before the timelimit is up.
~nban user reason
Sets +b on the user in every channel tripbot is in, effectively banning them from the network while still allowing them to connect.
~nunban user
Removes a network ban.
Channel comands
/ban #channel username/hostmask
Sets +b on a user.
/unban #channel username/hostmask
Removes +b on a user.
/quiet #channel username/hostmask
Sets +q on a user
Can also be done through tripbot, with ~quiet 15 username reason.
This is preffered as you can set a time, and documents it.
/unquiet #channel username/hostmask
Removes +q on a user.
/topic #channel
sets the topic for a channel
/topicappend #channel
adds to the existing topic at the end.
Channel modes (set on channels) - set with /mode #channel +/-mode
+b, channel ban
Bans take one parameter which can take several forms. The most common form is +b nick!user@host. The wildcards * and ? are allowed
For example, *!user@host will ban any nickname from a given user.
+c, colour filter
This cmode activates the colour filter for the channel. This filters out bold, underline, reverse video, beeps, mIRC colour codes, and ANSI escapes
+e, ban exemption
This mode takes one parameter of the same form as bans, which overrides +b and +q bans for all clients it matches.
+f, channel forwarding
+f #channel
If you try to join this channel, it will forward to the channel specified.
+F, allow anybody to forward to this channel
+g, allow anybody to invite
Only applicable if the channel is set +i
+i, invite only
When this cmode is set, no client can join the channel unless they have an invex (+I) or are invited with the INVITE command.
+I, invite exception (invex)
This mode takes one parameter of the same form as bans. Matching clients do not need to be invited to join the channel when it is invite-only
+j, join throttling
This mode takes one parameter of the form n:t, where n and t are positive integers. Only n users may join in each period of t seconds.
+k, key (channel password)
Taking one parameter, when set, this mode requires a user to supply the key in order to join the channel: /JOIN #channel key. Cannot be set without an IRCop adding it.
+l, channel member limit
Takes one numeric parameter, the number of users which are allowed to be in the channel before further joins are blocked. Invited users may join regardless. Cannot be set without an IRCop
+L, large ban list
Channels with this mode will be allowed larger banlists (by default, 500 instead of 50 entries for +b, +q, +e and +I together). Only network operators with resv privilege may set this mode.
+m, moderated
When a channel is set +m, only users with +o or +v on the channel can send to it.
+n, no external messages
When set, this mode prevents users from sending to the channel without being in it themselves. This is enabled by default, and cannot be unset without an IRCop removing it.
+o, channel operator
This mode takes one parameter, a nick, and grants or removes channel operator privilege to that user. Channel operators have full control over the channel, having the ability to set all channel modes except +nt-lk, and kick users. Like voiced users, channel operators can always send to the channel, overriding +b, +m and +q modes and the per-channel flood limit. In most clients channel operators are marked with an '@' sign.
The privilege is lost if the user leaves the channel or server in any way, for this reason it is reccomended to set channel operators with the flags command, instead of the mode command.
+p, paranoid channel
When set, the KNOCK command cannot be used on the channel to request an invite, and users will not be shown the channel in WHOIS replies unless they are on it.
+P, permanent channel
Channels with this mode (which has to be set by an IRCop) the channel will not be destroyed when the last user leaves.
Note, this is not required on a registerred channel as ChanServ joins, and will never leave once it is registerred.
+q, quiet
Set the same way as +b, the effect is that they cannot knock on the channel, send to the channel or change their nick while on channel.
+Q, block forwarded users
Channels with this mode set are not valid targets for forwarding. Any attempt to forward to this channel will be ignored, and the user will be handled as if the attempt was never made (by sending them the relevant error message).
+r, block unidentified
When set, this mode prevents unidentified users from joining. Invited users can still join.
In order to join a +r channel, you must have a nickserv account and be identified.
+s, secret channel
When set, this mode prevents the channel from appearing in the output of the LIST, WHO and WHOIS command by users who are not on it. Also, the server will refuse to answer WHO, NAMES, TOPIC and LIST queries from users not on the channel.
+t, topic limit
When set, this mode prevents users who are not channel operators from changing the topic.
This is enabled by default, and an IRCop must remove it.
+v, voice
This mode takes one parameter, a nick, and grants or removes voice privilege to that user. Voiced users can always send to the channel, overriding +b, +m and +q modes and the per-channel flood limit. In most clients voiced users are marked with a plus sign.
The privilege is lost if the user leaves the channel or server in any way, for this reason it is reccomended to set channel operators with the flags command, instead of the mode command.
+z, reduced moderation
When +z is set, the effects of +m, +b and +q are relaxed. For each message, if that message would normally be blocked by one of these modes, it is instead sent to all channel operators. This is intended for use in moderated debates.
