Couple of things i have put together, you may add to this if you wish to do so. Channel mode +b Channel ban Bans an address from a channel. Any user with a host mask matching this address will be denied entry to the channel. If the user is already in the channel and does not have op/voice status, the user will not be able to speak. Usage: /MODE #channel +b nick!ident@host Note: When a new QuakeNet fake host is banned (i.e. *!*@authname.users.quakenet.org) that authname is banned regardless of the user's host. Channel mode +c No control codes Prohibits mIRC & ANSI control codes (colours/bold/underline/italics/reverse) from being sent to a channel. Usage: /MODE #channel +c Channel mode +C No channel CTCPs Prohibits channel wide CTCPs. Usage: /MODE #channel +C Channel mode +D Delayed join mode Joining users will not be shown until they are opped/voiced, change the topic or speak. Usage: /MODE #channel +D Note that hidden users will not be revealed when the mode is cleared. Hidden users can be seen with /NAMES -d #channel. Channel mode +d Hidden users present This mode is set automatically by a server when channel mode +D is cleared and there are still users hidden in the channel. It can only be set or cleared by the server and is removed automatically when all users become visible. Hidden users can be seen with /NAMES -d #channel. Channel mode +i Invite only This prevents users from joining a channel until they are invited by a channel op, L, or Q Usage: /MODE #channel +i You may invite users by typing /INVITE nickname #channel. Note that inviting a user bypasses possible bans set on him. Channel mode +k, Key Key'ed (Passworded) Channel Sets a key/password on a channel, without which people will be unable to join the channel. Usage: /MODE #channel +k key To join a channel which has a key set, do /JOIN #channel key To remove channel mode +k, use /MODE #channel -k key Channel mode +l Limit Only allows a certain number of people to join the channel. Usage: /MODE #channel +l limit Channel mode +m Moderated This mode moderates the channel, i.e. prevents users without voice or op status from sending messages to a channel. Usage: /MODE #channel +m Channel mode +n No external messages This prevents users from externally messaging a channel. The users must be on the channel to message it. Usage: /MODE #channel +n Channel mode +N No channel notices Prohibits the sending of channel notices. Usage: /MODE #channel +N Channel mode +o Operator Gives operator status to a user on a channel, allowing them to set or remove channel modes, kick/ban users, set the topic when channel mode +t is set and invite users into the channel. Usage: /MODE #channel +o nickname Channel mode +p Private This prevents the users in the channel being viewed externally. The channel also does not appear in a /LIST or /WHOIS, however the topic can be viewed using the /TOPIC command. Also see channel mode +s. +p cannot be set at the same time as +s. Usage: /MODE #channel +p Channel mode +r Authed users only This mode only allows users authed with Q to join the channel. They will receive the message "You must be authed to join this channel (+r)" when they attempt to join your channel when not authed. Once they have authed they will be able to join the channel normally. +r is a useful mode to set during flood attacks rather than +i (invite only). Usage: /MODE #channel +r Channel mode +s Secret This prevents the users in the channel or the topic being viewed externally using /TOPIC. The channel also does not appear in a /LIST or /WHOIS. Also see channel mode +p. +s cannot be set at the same time as +p. Usage: /MODE #channel +s Channel mode +t Topic Lock Only channel operators may set the topic. Usage: /MODE #channel +t Channel mode +u No Part/Quit reasons If a user is in any channel with channel mode +u set their quit and part messages are stripped, e.g. Quit (User definable quit message) would appear as Quit (Signed off). Usage: /MODE #channel +u Channel mode +v Voice Gives voice status to a user on a channel, thus allowing them to speak when the channel is moderated. Usage: /MODE #channel +v nickname By default, channels are created with the flags +tCNn Here are a few links to some IRC lessons i found via google, hope these help you guys also: Introduction to IRC: C L I C K Channel management and L: C L I C K Quakenet's channel service bot: C L I C K Security on the Quakenet IRC network: C L I C K
