What does +iwx mean?
Every time I connect, I see this:
+++ YourNick set to mode +iwx * YourNick sets mode: +iwx
And other variations on the theme.
This is the default mode applied to every user on connect to the irc.mibbit.net network.
Other networks may have slightly different defaults.
Mode +i
User mode +i means, that the channels you are in, are "invisible" to other users that issue the /whois YourNick command, under some conditions.
- If you issue the /whois YourNick command on yourself, you are always listed.
- If you and the other user are in the same channel, you are always listed.
- If you are in a different channel that the other user,
- and if the channel you are in is not channel mode +s then the other user can see that you are in that other channel.
- and if the channel you are in has channel mode +s then the other user can not see that you are in that other channel.
- You can issue the command /mode #TheChannel and see if s is in the list. It is Case Sensitive.
- If you are an OP of that channel, you can issue the command /mode #TheChannel +s and set +s. It is Case Sensitive.
- If you really want to turn off this privacy protection, you would issue the command /mode YourNick -i.
Mode +w
User mode +w means, that you can see network status messages called wallops. These are messages that the system and/or staff (Opers) considers important, such as a pending service downtime.
- If you want to turn off this notification, you would issue the command /mode YourNick -w.
Mode +x
User mode +x means, that your IP/Host address is masked so that other users can not get your full IP/Host. This is also called a cloak.
- If you issue the /whois YourNick command on yourself, your IP/Host is always visiabe.
- For IP addresses, this is shown as (for example) "287AB38E.50E33866.F91BE320.IP". This is a hash generated by our IRCd, and no user can decode it.
- For Host names, this is shown as (for example) "mib-11DE075.hst16.fg.comcast.net". This is a hash generated by our IRCd, and no user can decode it.
- If you really want to turn off this privacy protection, you would issue the command /mode YourNick -x.
