| |
| − | The '''Silence''' Command may be used to effectively prevent private messages, commonly known as "PM", notices, and CTCP events from another user from reaching you.
| |
| − | For channel messages you have to use the /ignore command (client side).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you desire to invoke the silence command, type the following in the input line of your IRC client:
| |
| − | /silence +nickname
| |
| − | Replace "nickname" above with the nickname you wish to silence.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If they keep changing the nick use: <tt>/silence +[[hostmask]]</tt> (wildcards work too, e.g., /silence +mib_* or *@*BEEFB9E5.IP).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To remove silence protection you have set, type: <tt>/silence -nickname</tt> or <tt>/silence -[[hostmask]]</tt>.
| |

| |
| − | To show the current silence list type <tt>/silence</tt>
| |

| |
| − | The result of silencing users is transparent. You won't know they are trying to PM you and they won't know you aren't receiving their PMs.

Comparison Between /ignore And /silence
It is an unfortunate situation that to properly block all messages from a user, both commands must be used. The basic difference between them is that /silence is an irc server command and /ignore is a part of the Mibbit client.
