IRC services are powered by Anope.
NickServ
HELP
NickServ allows you to "register" a nickname and
prevent others from using it. The following
commands allow for registration and maintenance of
nicknames; to use them, type /msg NickServ command.
For more information on a specific command, type
/msg NickServ HELP command.
REGISTER Register a nickname
GROUP Join a group
IDENTIFY Identify yourself with your password
ACCESS Modify the list of authorized addresses
SET Set options, including kill protection
DROP Cancel the registration of a nickname
RECOVER Kill another user who has taken your nick
RELEASE Regain custody of your nick after RECOVER
SENDPASS Forgot your password? Try this
Other commands: GHOST, ALIST, GLIST, INFO, LIST, LOGOUT,
STATUS, UPDATE
NOTICE: This service is intended to provide a way for
IRC users to ensure their identity is not compromised.
It is NOT intended to facilitate "stealing" of
nicknames or other malicious actions. Abuse of NickServ
will result in, at minimum, loss of the abused
nickname(s).
REGISTER
Syntax: /msg NickServ REGISTER password [email] Registers your nickname in the NickServ database. Once your nick is registered, you can use the SET and ACCESS commands to configure your nick's settings as you like them. Make sure you remember the password you use when registering - you'll need it to make changes to your nick later. (Note that case matters! ANOPE, Anope, and anope are all different passwords!) Guidelines on choosing passwords: Passwords should not be easily guessable. For example, using your real name as a password is a bad idea. Using your nickname as a password is a much worse idea ;) and, in fact, NickServ will not allow it. Also, short passwords are vulnerable to trial-and-error searches, so you should choose a password at least 5 characters long. Finally, the space character cannot be used in passwords. The parameter email is optional and will set the email for your nick immediately. However, it may be required on certain networks. Your privacy is respected; this e-mail won't be given to any third-party person. This command also creates a new group for your nickname, that will allow you to register other nicks later sharing the same configuration, the same set of memos and the same channel privileges. For more information on this feature, type /msg NickServ HELP GROUP.
GROUP
Syntax: /msg NickServ GROUP target password This command makes your nickname join the target nickname's group. password is the password of the target nickname. Joining a group will allow you to share your configuration, memos, and channel priviledges with all the nicknames in the group, and much more! A group exists as long as it is useful. This means that even if a nick of the group is dropped, you won't lose the shared things described above, as long as there is at least one nick remaining in the group. You can use this command even if you have not registered your nick yet. If your nick is already registered, you'll need to identify yourself before using this command. Type /msg NickServ HELP IDENTIFY for more information. This last may be not possible on your IRC network. It is recommended to use this command with a non-registered nick because it will be registered automatically when using this command. You may use it with a registered nick (to change your group) only if your network administrators allowed it. You can only be in one group at a time. Group merging is not possible. Note: all the nicknames of a group have the same password.
IDENTIFY
Syntax: /msg NickServ IDENTIFY password Tells NickServ that you are really the owner of this nick. Many commands require you to authenticate yourself with this command before you use them. The password should be the same one you sent with the REGISTER command.
LOGOUT
Syntax: /msg NickServ LOGOUT This reverses the effect of the IDENTIFY command, i.e. make you not recognized as the real owner of the nick anymore. Note, however, that you won't be asked to reidentify yourself.
DROP
Syntax: /msg NickServ DROP [nickname] Drops your nickname from the NickServ database. A nick that has been dropped is free for anyone to re-register. You may drop a nick within your group by passing it as the nick parameter. In order to use this command, you must first identify with your password (/msg NickServ HELP IDENTIFY for more information).
ACCESS
Syntax: /msg NickServ ACCESS ADD mask
ACCESS DEL mask
ACCESS LIST
Modifies or displays the access list for your nick. This
is the list of addresses which will be automatically
recognized by NickServ as allowed to use the nick. If
you want to use the nick from a different address, you
need to send an IDENTIFY command to make NickServ
recognize you.
Examples:
ACCESS ADD anyone@*.bepeg.com
Allows access to user anyone from any machine in
the bepeg.com domain.
ACCESS DEL anyone@*.bepeg.com
Reverses the previous command.
ACCESS LIST
Displays the current access list.
SET
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET option parameters
Sets various nickname options. option can be one of:
DISPLAY Set the display of your group in Services
PASSWORD Set your nickname password
LANGUAGE Set the language Services will use when
sending messages to you
URL Associate a URL with your nickname

ICQ Associate an ICQ number with your nickname
GREET Associate a greet message with your nickname
KILL Turn protection on or off
SECURE Turn nickname security on or off
PRIVATE Prevent your nickname from appearing in a

information).
Type /msg NickServ HELP SET option for more information
on a specific option.
SET DISPLAY
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET DISPLAY new-display Changes the display used to refer to your nickname group in Services. The new display MUST be a nick of your group.
SET PASSWORD
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET PASSWORD new-password Changes the password used to identify you as the nick's owner.
SET LANGUAGE
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET LANGUAGE number Changes the language Services uses when sending messages to you (for example, when responding to a command you send). number should be chosen from the following list of supported languages:
SET URL
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET URL url Associates the given URL with your nickname. This URL will be displayed whenever someone requests information on your nick with the INFO command.
SET EMAIL
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET EMAIL address Associates the given E-mail address with your nickname. This address will be displayed whenever someone requests information on the channel with the INFO command.
SET HIDE
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET HIDE {EMAIL | STATUS | USERMASK | QUIT} {ON | OFF}
Allows you to prevent certain pieces of information from
being displayed when someone does a NickServ INFO on your
nick. You can hide your E-mail address (EMAIL), last seen
user@host mask (USERMASK), your services access status
(STATUS) and last quit message (QUIT).
The second parameter specifies whether the information should
be displayed (OFF) or hidden (ON).
SET ICQ
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET ICQ number Associates the given ICQ number with your nickname. This number will be displayed whenever someone requests information on your nick with the INFO command.
SET GREET
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET GREET message Makes the given message the greet of your nickname, that will be displayed when joining a channel that has GREET option enabled, provided that you have the necessary access on it.
SET KILL
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET KILL {ON | QUICK | IMMED | OFF}
Turns the automatic protection option for your nick
on or off. With protection on, if another user
tries to take your nick, they will be given one minute to
change to another nick, after which NickServ will forcibly change
their nick.
If you select QUICK, the user will be given only 20 seconds
to change nicks instead of the usual 60. If you select
IMMED, user's nick will be changed immediately without being
warned first or given a chance to change their nick; please
do not use this option unless necessary. Also, your
network's administrators may have disabled this option.
SET SECURE
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET SECURE {ON | OFF}
Turns NickServ's security features on or off for your
nick. With SECURE set, you must enter your password
before you will be recognized as the owner of the nick,
regardless of whether your address is on the access
list. However, if you are on the access list, NickServ
will not auto-kill you regardless of the setting of the
KILL option.
SET PRIVATE
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET PRIVATE {ON | OFF}
Turns NickServ's privacy option on or off for your nick.
With PRIVATE set, your nickname will not appear in
nickname lists generated with NickServ's LIST command.
(However, anyone who knows your nickname can still get
information on it using the INFO command.)
SET HIDE
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET HIDE {EMAIL | STATUS | USERMASK | QUIT} {ON | OFF}
Allows you to prevent certain pieces of information from
being displayed when someone does a NickServ INFO on your
nick. You can hide your E-mail address (EMAIL), last seen
user@host mask (USERMASK), your services access status
(STATUS) and last quit message (QUIT).
The second parameter specifies whether the information should
be displayed (OFF) or hidden (ON).
SET MSG
Syntax: /msg NickServ SET MSG {ON | OFF}
Allows you to choose the way Services are communicating with
you. With MSG set, Services will use messages, else they'll
use notices.
UPDATE
Syntax: /msg NickServ UPDATE Updates your current status, i.e. it checks for new memos, sets needed chanmodes (ModeonID) and updates your vhost and your userflags (lastseentime, etc).
RECOVER
Syntax: /msg NickServ RECOVER nickname [password] Allows you to recover your nickname if someone else has taken it; this does the same thing that NickServ does automatically if someone tries to use a kill-protected nick. When you give this command, NickServ will bring a fake user online with the same nickname as the user you're trying to recover your nick from. This causes the IRC servers to disconnect the other user. This fake user will will remain online for one minute to ensure that the other user does not immediately reconnect; after that minute, you can reclaim your nick. Alternatively, use the RELEASE command (/msg NickServ HELP RELEASE) to get the nick back sooner. In order to use the RECOVER command for a nick, your current address as shown in /WHOIS must be on that nick's access list, you must be identified and in the group of that nick, or you must supply the correct password for the nickname.
RELEASE
Syntax: /msg NickServ RELEASE nickname [password] Instructs NickServ to remove any hold on your nickname caused by automatic kill protection or use of the RECOVER command. By default, such holds last for one minute; this command gets rid of them sooner. In order to use the RELEASE command for a nick, your current address as shown in /WHOIS must be on that nick's access list, you must be identified and in the group of that nick, or you must supply the correct password for the nickname.
GHOST
Syntax: /msg NickServ GHOST nickname [password] Terminates a "ghost" IRC session using your nick. A "ghost" session is one which is not actually connected, but which the IRC server believes is still online for one reason or another. Typically, this happens if your computer crashes or your Internet or modem connection goes down while you're on IRC. In order to use the GHOST command for a nick, your current address as shown in /WHOIS must be on that nick's access list, you must be identified and in the group of that nick, or you must supply the correct password for the nickname.
INFO
Syntax: /msg NickServ INFO nickname [ALL] Displays information about the given nickname, such as the nick's owner, last seen address and time, and nick options. If you are identified for the nick you're getting information for and ALL is specified, you will be shown all the information; regardless of whether it's hidden or not.
LIST
Syntax: /msg NickServ LIST pattern
Lists all registered nicknames which match the given
pattern, in nick!user@host format. Nicks with the
PRIVATE option set will not be displayed.
Examples:
LIST "*!
joeuser@foo.com"
Lists all nicks owned by
joeuser@foo.com.
LIST "*Bot*!*@*"
Lists all registered nicks with Bot in their
names (case insensitive).
LIST "*!*@*.bar.org"
Lists all nicks owned by users in the bar.org
domain.
ALIST
Syntax: /msg NickServ ALIST [level]
Lists all channels you have access on. Optionally, you can specify
a level in XOP or ACCESS format. The resulting list will only
include channels where you have the given level of access.
Examples:
ALIST Founder
Lists all channels where you have Founder
access.
ALIST AOP
Lists all channels where you have AOP
access or greater.
ALIST 10
Lists all channels where you have level 10
access or greater.

prefixed by an exclamation mark.
GLIST
Syntax: /msg NickServ GLIST Lists all nicks in your group.
STATUS
Syntax: /msg NickServ STATUS nickname...
Returns whether the user using the given nickname is
recognized as the owner of the nickname. The response has
this format:
nickname status-code
where nickname is the nickname sent with the command, and
status-code is one of the following:
0 - no such user online or nickname not registered
1 - user not recognized as nickname's owner
2 - user recognized as owner via access list only
3 - user recognized as owner via password identification
Up to sixteen nicknames may be sent with each command; the
rest will be ignored. If no nickname is given, your status
will be returned.
SENDPASS

to identify for the nick, and may view the access list for
any nickname (/msg NickServ ACCESS LIST nick).
SERVADMIN LOGOUT
Syntax: /msg NickServ LOGOUT [nickname [REVALIDATE]] Without a parameter, reverses the effect of the IDENTIFY command, i.e. make you not recognized as the real owner of the nick anymore. Note, however, that you won't be asked to reidentify yourself. With a parameter, does the same for the given nick. If you specify REVALIDATE as well, Services will ask the given nick to re-identify. This use limited to Services admins.

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. Available
commands are listed below; to use them, type
/msg ChanServ command. For more information on a
specific command, type /msg ChanServ HELP command.

REGISTER
Syntax: /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 others 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 ChanServ HELP for information on how to do so.

Syntax: /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.
LOGOUT
Syntax: /msg ChanServ LOGOUT channel nickname This command will log the selected nickname out meaning they would have to reidentify themselves to regain their access. If you are the founder of the channel, you can log out anybody, else you can only log out yourself.
DROP
Syntax: /msg ChanServ DROP channel Unregisters the named channel. Can only be used by channel founder, who must use the IDENTIFY command first.

particular option.
SET FOUNDER
Syntax: /msg ChanServ SET channel FOUNDER nick Changes the founder of a channel. The new nickname must be a registered one.
SET SUCCESSOR
Syntax: /msg ChanServ SET channel SUCCESSOR nick 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 (), the channel will be dropped instead, just as if no successor had been set. The new nickname must be a registered one.
SET PASSWORD
Syntax: /msg ChanServ SET channel PASSWORD password Sets the password used to identify as the founder of the channel.
SET DESC
Syntax: /msg ChanServ SET channel DESC description Sets the description for the channel, which shows up with the LIST and INFO commands.

Syntax: /msg ChanServ SET channel ENTRYMSG [message] Sets the message which will be sent via /notice to users when they enter the channel. If no parameter is given, causes no message to be sent upon entering the channel.
SET BANTYPE
Syntax: /msg ChanServ SET channel BANTYPE bantype Sets the ban type that will be used by services whenever they need to ban someone from your channel. bantype is a number between 0 and 3 that means: 0: ban in the form *!user@host 1: ban in the form *!*user@host 2: ban in the form *!*@host 3: ban in the form *!*user@*.domain
SET KEEPTOPIC
Syntax: /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.
SET TOPICLOCK
Syntax: /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 TOPIC
command.
SET MLOCK
Syntax: /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, off or free to be either on or off.
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. Note,
however, that unlike the /MODE command, each use of
SET MLOCK will remove all modes previously locked before
setting the new!
Warning: If you set a mode-locked key, as in the second
example below, you should also set the RESTRICTED option for
the channel (see HELP SET RESTRICTED), or anyone entering
the channel when it is empty will be able to see the key!
Examples:
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.
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".
SET #channel MLOCK +
Removes the mode lock; all channel modes are free
to be either on or off.
SET PEACE
Syntax: /msg ChanServ SET channel PEACE {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables the peace option for a channel.
When peace is set, an user won't be able to kick,
ban or remove a channel status of an user that has
a level superior or equal to his via ChanServ commands.
SET PRIVATE
Syntax: /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.
SET RESTRICTED
Syntax: /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 SECURE
Syntax: /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 ChanServ and IDENTIFY'd
with their password will be given access to the channel
as controlled by the access list.
SET SECUREOPS
Syntax: /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.
SET SECUREFOUNDER
Syntax: /msg ChanServ SET channel SECUREFOUNDER {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables the secure founder option for a channel.
When secure founder is set, only the real founder will be
able to drop the channel, change its password, its founder and its
successor, and not those who are IDENTIFY'd with ChanServ.
SET SIGNKICK
Syntax: /msg ChanServ SET channel SIGNKICK {ON | LEVEL | OFF}
Enables or disables signed kicks for a
channel. When SIGNKICK is set, kicks issued with
ChanServ KICK command will have the nick that used the
command in their reason.
If you use LEVEL, those who have a level that is superior
or equal to the SIGNKICK level on the channel won't have their
kicks signed. See /msg ChanServ HELP LEVELS for more information.
SET XOP
Syntax: /msg ChanServ SET channel XOP {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables the xOP lists system for a channel.
When XOP is set, you have to use the AOP/SOP/VOP
commands in order to give channel privileges to
users, else you have to use the ACCESS command.
Technical Note: when you switch from access list to xOP
lists system, your level definitions and user levels will be
changed, so you won't find the same values if you
switch back to access system!
You should also check that your users are in the good xOP
list after the switch from access to xOP lists, because the
guess is not always perfect... in fact, it is not recommended
to use the xOP lists if you changed level definitions with
the LEVELS command.
Switching from xOP lists system to access list system
causes no problem though.
SET OPNOTICE
Syntax: /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.
AOP
Syntax: /msg ChanServ AOP channel ADD nick
AOP channel DEL {nick | entry-num | list}
AOP channel LIST [mask | list]
AOP channel CLEAR
Maintains the AOP (AutoOP) list for a channel. The AOP
list gives users the right to be auto-opped on your channel,
to unban or invite themselves if needed, to have their
greet message showed on join, and so on.
The AOP ADD command adds the given nickname to the
AOP list.
The AOP DEL command removes the given nick from the
AOP list. If a list of entry numbers is given, those
entries are deleted. (See the example for LIST below.)
The AOP LIST command displays the AOP list. If
a wildcard mask is given, only those entries matching the
mask are displayed. If a list of entry numbers is given,
only those entries are shown; for example:
AOP #channel LIST 2-5,7-9
Lists AOP entries numbered 2 through 5 and
7 through 9.
The AOP CLEAR command clears all entries of the
AOP list.
The AOP ADD and AOP DEL commands are limited to
SOPs or above, while the AOP CLEAR command can only
be used by the channel founder. However, any user on the
AOP list may use the AOP LIST command.
This command may have been disabled for your channel, and
in that case you need to use the access list. See
/msg ChanServ HELP ACCESS for information about the access list,
and /msg ChanServ HELP SET XOP to know how to toggle between
the access list and xOP list systems.
HOP
Syntax: /msg ChanServ HOP channel ADD nick
HOP channel DEL {nick | entry-num | list}
HOP channel LIST [mask | list]
HOP channel CLEAR
Maintains the HOP (HalfOP) list for a channel. The HOP
list gives users the right to be auto-halfopped on your
channel.
The HOP ADD command adds the given nickname to the
HOP list.
The HOP DEL command removes the given nick from the
HOP list. If a list of entry numbers is given, those
entries are deleted. (See the example for LIST below.)
The HOP LIST command displays the HOP list. If
a wildcard mask is given, only those entries matching the
mask are displayed. If a list of entry numbers is given,
only those entries are shown; for example:
HOP #channel LIST 2-5,7-9
Lists HOP entries numbered 2 through 5 and
7 through 9.
The HOP CLEAR command clears all entries of the
HOP list.
The HOP ADD, HOP DEL and HOP LIST commands are
limited to AOPs or above, while the HOP CLEAR command
can only be used by the channel founder.
This command may have been disabled for your channel, and
in that case you need to use the access list. See
/msg ChanServ HELP ACCESS for information about the access list,
and /msg ChanServ HELP SET XOP to know how to toggle between
the access list and xOP list systems.
SOP
Syntax: /msg ChanServ SOP channel ADD nick
SOP channel DEL {nick | entry-num | list}
SOP channel LIST [mask | list]
SOP channel CLEAR
Maintains the SOP (SuperOP) list for a channel. The SOP
list gives users all rights given by the AOP list, and adds
those needed to use the AutoKick and the BadWords lists,
to send and read channel memos, and so on.
The SOP ADD command adds the given nickname to the
SOP list.
The SOP DEL command removes the given nick from the
SOP list. If a list of entry numbers is given, those
entries are deleted. (See the example for LIST below.)
The SOP LIST command displays the SOP list. If
a wildcard mask is given, only those entries matching the
mask are displayed. If a list of entry numbers is given,
only those entries are shown; for example:
SOP #channel LIST 2-5,7-9
Lists AOP entries numbered 2 through 5 and
7 through 9.
The SOP CLEAR command clears all entries of the
SOP list.
The SOP ADD, SOP DEL and SOP CLEAR commands are
limited to the channel founder. However, any user on the
AOP list may use the SOP LIST command.
This command may have been disabled for your channel, and
in that case you need to use the access list. See
/msg ChanServ HELP ACCESS for information about the access list,
and /msg ChanServ HELP SET XOP to know how to toggle between
the access list and xOP list systems.
VOP
Syntax: /msg ChanServ VOP channel ADD nick
VOP channel DEL {nick | entry-num | list}
VOP channel LIST [mask | list]
VOP channel CLEAR
Maintains the VOP (VOicePeople) list for a channel.
The VOP list allows users to be auto-voiced and to voice
themselves if they aren't.
The VOP ADD command adds the given nickname to the
VOP list.
The VOP DEL command removes the given nick from the
VOP list. If a list of entry numbers is given, those
entries are deleted. (See the example for LIST below.)
The VOP LIST command displays the VOP list. If
a wildcard mask is given, only those entries matching the
mask are displayed. If a list of entry numbers is given,
only those entries are shown; for example:
VOP #channel LIST 2-5,7-9
Lists VOP entries numbered 2 through 5 and
7 through 9.
The VOP CLEAR command clears all entries of the
VOP list.
The VOP ADD, VOP DEL and VOP LIST commands are
limited to AOPs or above, while the VOP CLEAR command
can only be used by the channel founder.
This command may have been disabled for your channel, and
in that case you need to use the access list. See
/msg ChanServ HELP ACCESS for information about the access list,
and /msg ChanServ HELP SET XOP to know how to toggle between
the access list and xOP list systems.
ACCESS
Syntax: /msg ChanServ ACCESS channel ADD nick level
ACCESS channel DEL {nick | entry-num | list}
ACCESS channel LIST [mask | list]
ACCESS channel CLEAR
Maintains the access list for a channel. The access
list specifies which users are allowed chanop status or
access to ChanServ commands on the channel. Different
user levels allow for access to different subsets of
privileges; /msg ChanServ HELP ACCESS LEVELS for more
specific information. Any nick not on the access list has
a user level of 0.
The ACCESS ADD command adds the given nickname to the
access list with the given user level; if the nick is
already present on the list, its access level is changed to
the level specified in the command. The level specified
must be less than that of the user giving the command, and
if the nick is already on the access list, the current
access level of that nick must be less than the access level
of the user giving the command.
The ACCESS DEL command removes the given nick from the
access list. If a list of entry numbers is given, those
entries are deleted. (See the example for LIST below.)
The ACCESS LIST command displays the access list. If
a wildcard mask is given, only those entries matching the
mask are displayed. If a list of entry numbers is given,
only those entries are shown; for example:
ACCESS #channel LIST 2-5,7-9
Lists access entries numbered 2 through 5 and
7 through 9.
The ACCESS CLEAR command clears all entries of the
access list.
ACCESS LEVELS
User access levels
By default, the following access levels are defined:
Founder Full access to ChanServ functions; automatic
opping upon entering channel. Note
that only one person may have founder
status (it cannot be given using the
ACCESS command).
10 Access to AKICK command; automatic opping.
5 Automatic opping.
3 Automatic voicing.
0 No special privileges; can be opped by other
ops (unless secure-ops is set).
<0 May not be opped.
These levels may be changed, or new ones added, using the
LEVELS command; type /msg ChanServ HELP LEVELS for
information.
AKICK
Syntax: /msg ChanServ AKICK channel ADD mask [reason]
AKICK channel STICK mask
AKICK channel UNSTICK mask
AKICK channel DEL mask
AKICK channel LIST [mask]
AKICK channel VIEW [mask]
AKICK channel ENFORCE
AKICK channel CLEAR
Maintains the AutoKick list for a channel. If a user
on the AutoKick list attempts to join the channel,
ChanServ will ban that user from the channel, then kick
the user.
The AKICK ADD command adds the given nick or usermask
to the AutoKick list. If a reason is given with
the command, that reason will be used when the user is
kicked; if not, the default reason is "You have been
banned from the channel".
The AKICK STICK command permanently bans the given mask
on the channel. If someone tries to remove the ban, ChanServ
will automatically set it again. You can't use it for
registered nicks.
The AKICK UNSTICK command cancels the effect of the
AKICK STICK command, so you'll be able to unset the
ban again on the channel.
The AKICK DEL command removes the given nick or mask
from the AutoKick list. It does not, however, remove any
bans placed by an AutoKick; those must be removed
manually.
The AKICK LIST command displays the AutoKick list, or
optionally only those AutoKick entries which match the
given mask.
The AKICK VIEW command is a more verbose version of
AKICK LIST command.
The AKICK ENFORCE command causes ChanServ to enforce the
current AKICK list by removing those users who match an
AKICK mask.
The AKICK CLEAR command clears all entries of the
akick list.
LEVELS
Syntax: /msg ChanServ LEVELS channel SET type level
LEVELS channel {DIS | DISABLE} type
LEVELS channel LIST
LEVELS channel RESET
The LEVELS command allows fine control over the meaning of
the numeric access levels used for channels. With this
command, you can define the access level required for most
of ChanServ's functions. (The SET FOUNDER and SET PASSWORD
commands, as well as this command, are always restricted to
the channel founder.)
LEVELS SET allows the access level for a function or group of
functions to be changed. LEVELS DISABLE (or DIS for short)
disables an automatic feature or disallows access to a
function by anyone other than the channel founder.
LEVELS LIST shows the current levels for each function or
group of functions. LEVELS RESET resets the levels to the
default levels of a newly-created channel (see
HELP ACCESS LEVELS).
For a list of the features and functions whose levels can be
set, see HELP LEVELS DESC.

LIST 2-5,7-9
Lists memos numbered 2 through 5 and 7 through 9.
READ
Syntax: /msg MemoServ READ [channel] {num | list | LAST | NEW}
Sends you the text of the memos specified. If LAST is
given, sends you the memo you most recently received. If
NEW is given, sends you all of your new memos. Otherwise,
sends you memo number num. You can also give a list of
numbers, as in this example:
READ 2-5,7-9
Displays memos numbered 2 through 5 and 7 through 9.
RSEND
Syntax: /msg MemoServ RSEND {nick | channel} memo-text
Sends the named nick or channel a memo containing
memo-text. When sending to a nickname, the recipient will

Type /msg MemoServ HELP SET option for more information
on a specific option.
SET NOTIFY
Syntax: /msg MemoServ SET NOTIFY {ON | LOGON | NEW | OFF}
Changes when you will be notified about new memos:
ON You will be notified of memos when you log on,
when you unset /AWAY, and when they are sent
to you.
LOGON You will only be notified of memos when you log
on or when you unset /AWAY.
NEW You will only be notified of memos when they
are sent to you.
OFF You will not receive any notification of memos.
ON is essentially LOGON and NEW combined.
SET LIMIT
Syntax: /msg MemoServ SET LIMIT [channel] limit Sets the maximum number of memos you (or the given channel) are allowed to have. If you set this to 0, no one will be able to send any memos to you. However, you cannot set this any higher than .

STAFF
Syntax: /msg MemoServ STAFF memo-text Sends all services staff a memo containing memo-text. Note: If you have opers on both the oper list and the admin list they will receive the memo twice. The same applies for oper's on the Root list as well as other lists.
SERVADMIN SET LIMIT
Syntax: /msg MemoServ SET LIMIT [user | channel] {limit | NONE} [HARD]
Sets the maximum number of memos a user or channel is
allowed to have. Setting the limit to 0 prevents the user
from receiving any memos; setting it to NONE allows the
user to receive and keep as many memos as they want. If
you do not give a nickname or channel, your own limit is
set.
Adding HARD prevents the user from changing the limit. Not
adding HARD has the opposite effect, allowing the user to
change the limit (even if a previous limit was set with
HARD).
This use of the SET LIMIT command is limited to Services
admins. Other users may only enter a limit for themselves
or a channel on which they have such privileges, may not
remove their limit, may not set a limit above , and may
not set a hard limit.
SERVADMIN INFO
Syntax: /msg MemoServ INFO [nick | channel] Without a parameter, displays information on the number of memos you have, how many of them are unread, and how many total memos you can receive. With a channel parameter, displays the same information for the given channel. With a nickname parameter, displays the same information for the given nickname. This use limited to Services admins.
