ChanServ


ChanServ allows you to register and control various aspects of channels. ChanServ can often prevent malicious users from "taking over" channels by limiting who is allowed channel operator privileges.

Note that any channel which is not used for 14 days (i.e. which no user on the channel's access list enters from ChanServ: for that period of time) will be automatically dropped.

Usage:
 /msg ChanServ <command>
or:
 /ChanServ <command>
or:
 /cs <command>

HELP


 /msg ChanServ HELP
Gives a list of ChanServ commands.

 /msg ChanServ HELP <command>
Gives more information on a specific command.




REGISTER


 /msg ChanServ REGISTER <channel> <password> <description>
Registers a channel in the ChanServ database. In order to use this command, you must first be a channel operator on the channel you're trying to register. The password is used with the IDENTIFY command to allow you to make changes to the channel settings at a later time. The last parameter, which must be included, is a general description of the channel's purpose.

When you register a channel, you are recorded as the "founder" of the channel. The channel founder is allowed to change all of the channel settings for the channel; ChanServ will also automatically give the founder channel-operator privileges when s/he enters the channel. See the ACCESS command (/msg ChanServ HELP ACCESS) for information on giving a subset of these privileges to other channel users.

NOTICE: In order to register a channel, you must have first registered your nickname. If you haven't, /msg NickServ HELP for information on how to do so.




IDENTIFY


 /msg ChanServ IDENTIFY <channel> <password>
Authenticates you to ChanServ as the founder of the given channel. Many commands require you to use this command before using them. The password should be the same one you sent with the REGISTER command.




DROP


 /msg ChanServ DROP <channel>
Unregisters the named channel. Can only be used by channel founder, who must use the IDENTIFY command first.




INFO


 /msg ChanServ INFO <channel> [ALL]
Lists information about the named registered channel, including its founder, time of registration, last time used, description, and mode lock, if any. If you are identified as the founder of the channel you're getting information for and ALL is specified, the entry message and successor will also be displayed.




SET


 /msg ChanServ SET <option>
Allows the channel founder to set various channel options and other information. The founder must use the IDENTIFY command before using SET.

Available options:
FOUNDER 
 /msg ChanServ SET <channel> FOUNDER <nickname>
Changes the founder of a channel. The new nickname must be a registered one.

SUCCESSOR 
 /msg ChanServ SET <channel> SUCCESSOR <nickname>
Changes the successor of a channel. If the founder's nickname expires or is dropped while the channel is still registered, the successor will become the new founder of the channel. However, if the successor already has too many channels registered (500), the channel will be dropped instead, just as if no successor had been set. The new nickname must be a registered one.

PASSWORD 
 /msg ChanServ SET <channel> PASSWORD <password>
Sets the password used to identify as the founder of the channel.

DESC 
 /msg ChanServ SET <channel> DESC <description>
Sets the description for the channel, which shows up with the LIST and INFO commands.

URL 
 /msg ChanServ SET <channel> URL <url>
Associates the given URL with the channel. This URL will be displayed whenever someone requests information on the channel with the INFO command.

EMAIL 
 /msg ChanServ SET <channel> EMAIL <address>
Associates the given E-mail address with the channel. This address will be displayed whenever someone requests information on the channel with the INFO command.

ENTRYMSG 
 /msg ChanServ SET <channel> ENTRYMSG <message>
Sets the message which will be sent via /notice to users when they enter the channel.

TOPIC 
 /msg ChanServ SET <channel> TOPIC <topic>
Causes ChanServ to set the channel topic to the one specified. This command is most useful in conjunction with SET TOPICLOCK.

KEEPTOPIC 
 /msg ChanServ SET <channel> KEEPTOPIC {ON|OFF}
Enables or disables the topic retention option for a channel. When topic retention is set, the topic for the channel will be remembered by ChanServ even after the last user leaves the channel, and will be restored the next time the channel is created.

TOPICLOCK 
 /msg ChanServ SET <channel> TOPICLOCK {ON|OFF}
Enables or disables the topic lock option for a channel. When topic lock is set, ChanServ will not allow the channel topic to be changed except via the SET TOPIC command.

MLOCK 
 /msg ChanServ SET <channel> MLOCK <modes>
Sets the mode-lock parameter for the channel. ChanServ allows you to define certain channel modes to be always on (or off). The modes that can be locked are i, k, l, m, n, p, s, and t; each of these modes can be locked on, locked off, or not locked. The modes parameter is constructed exactly the same way as a /MODE command; that is, modes followed by a + are locked on, and modes followed by a - are locked off.

Examples:
 /msg ChanServ SET #channel MLOCK +nt-iklps
Forces modes n and t on, and modes i, k, l, p, and s off. Mode m is left free to be either on or off.

 /msg ChanServ SET #channel MLOCK +knst-ilmp my-key
Forces modes k, n, s, and t on, and modes i, l, m, and p off. Also forces the channel key to be "my-key".

 /msg ChanServ SET #channel MLOCK +
Removes the mode lock; all channel modes are free to be either on or off.

PRIVATE 
 /msg ChanServ SET <channel> PRIVATE {ON|OFF}
Enables or disables the private option for a channel. When private is set, a /msg ChanServ LIST will not include the channel in any lists

RESTRICTED 
 /msg ChanServ SET <channel> RESTRICTED {ON|OFF}
Enables or disables the restricted access option for a channel. When restricted access is set, users who would normally be disallowed from having channel operator privileges (users with negative access levels and, if secure ops is set, users not on the access list) will instead be kicked and banned from the channel.
(SET RESTRICTED cannot be used on IrCQ-Net!)

SECURE 
 /msg ChanServ SET <channel> SECURE {ON|OFF}
Enables or disables ChanServ's security features for a channel. When SECURE is set, only users who have registered their nicknames with NickServ and IDENTIFY'd with their password will be given privileges on the channel as controlled by the access list.

SECUREOPS 
 /msg ChanServ SET <channel> SECUREOPS {ON|OFF}
Enables or disables the secure ops option for a channel. When secure ops is set, users who are not on the userlist will not be allowed chanop status.

LEAVEOPS 
 /msg ChanServ SET <channel> LEAVEOPS {ON|OFF}
Enables or disables the leave ops option for a channel. When leave ops is set, ChanServ will leave server ops (+o for the first person in the channel) in place even if the user would not normally get auto-opped. The SECUREOPS option and AUTODEOP access level will still be enforced. Notice: This can allow users to "steal" ops during a netsplit.

OPNOTICE 
 /msg ChanServ SET <channel> OPNOTICE {ON|OFF}
Enables or disables the op-notice option for a channel. When op-notice is set, ChanServ will send a notice to the channel whenever the OP or DEOP commands are used for a user in the channel.

ENFORCE 
 /msg ChanServ SET <channel> ENFORCE {ON|OFF}
Enables or disables the enforce option for a channel. When enforce is set, ChanServ will enforce the auto-op and auto-voice levels for all users. For example, if a user with auto-op privileges is deopped, ChanServ will automatically op the user again, and ChanServ will also not allow the DEOP command to be used on that user.




UNSET


 /msg ChanServ UNSET <channel> {SUCCESSOR|URL|EMAIL|ENTRYMSG}
Clears the given setting for a channel.
