- Usage: MODE *|<channel> [+|-]<modechars> [<parameters>]
- MODE *|<channel> [+|-]b [<nick>[!<user>[@<host>]]]
- MODE <nick> [+|-]<umodechars>
-
- Mode command is quite complicated and it allows channel
- operators to change channel mode, or any user to change
- their personal mode. For a channel mode, <modechars> is one of
- the following:
- i - channel is invite only
- k <key> - Adds join key <key> to the channel. Keys can added or
- removed (MODE <channel> -k <key>), but not changed.
- l <number> - channel is limited, where <number> is the
- maximum number of users allowed
- m - channel is moderated (only channel operators talk)
- n - No MSGs to the channel are allowed
- from someone outside the channel.
- o <nick> - Makes <nick> a channel operator
- p - channel is private
- s - channel is secret
- Note: On 2.8 servers you cannot set both +p and +s modes
- t - topic limits, only the channel operators may change it
- v <nick> - Gives someone a voice to talk on a moderated channel.
-
- A + or - sign determines whether the specified mode should be
- added or deleted.
- If you supply * as channel name, modes will apply to your current channel.
-
- The second form of the MODE command allows you to ban
- somebody from a channel. This is done by specifying
- a sting of the form nick!user@host. For example:
- MODE #MyChannel +b *!*@gus.*
- bans everybody from the channel who is on IRC from any
- machine whose name is gus.
- MODE #MyChannel +b netw1z
- bans anybody using the nickname netw1z.
- MODE #MyChannel +b *!merklin@*
- bans anybody whose user name is merklin.
- MODE #MyChannel +b jerk!tug@boat.edu
- bans the user tug@boat.edu from the channel whenever he
- is using the nickname "jerk".
-
- If you are channel operator, you can list the bans in effect on a channel:
- MODE #MyCHannel b
-
- The third form of the MODE command allows you to modify your
- personal parameters. You can precede any combination of the
- following with + or - (+to switch that mode on, - to switch it off).
-
- o - IRC operator status. You may not turn this on
- with mode. To assert operator status, you must use OPER
- w - Receive WALLOPS (messages directed at all operators.
- see WALLOPS.
- s - Receive server notices. This includes KILL notices
- and notices about what is happening with links
- to the local server.
- i - Render yourself invisible. This prevents you from
- being seen in WHO and WHOIS information, unless
- somebody specifies your exact nickname with WHOIS.
-
- Note:
- Attempting to avoid a ban placed on you may result in
- forcible removal from IRC or being banned from your server.
