-	~~Silence is an IRC~~ command ~~that originated from Undernet, yet most users do not know about it. It~~ is basically another form of /~~IGNORE~~, ~~but which~~ stops the messages from a given user at the ~~SERVER~~ level, before they can reach the client. This only affects private messages, channel messages are still shown.	+	The <code>silence</code> command is basically another form of the popular <code>ignore</code> command find in many IRC clients; however, unlike client <code>ignore</code> lists, <code>silence</code> stops the messages from a given user at the server level, before they can reach the client. This only affects private messages, channel messages are still shown.

	The command is as follows:		The command is as follows:
	<html><pre>		<html><pre>
-	/<span class="cmd">silence~~</span>~~ [+]user@host Add the user@host mask to the silence list (*!user@host)	+	/<span class="cmd">silence [+]user@host</span> Add the user@host mask to the silence list (*!user@host)
-	/silence -user@host Remove the user@host mask from the silence list (*!user@host)	+	/<span class="cmd">silence -user@host</span> Remove the user@host mask from the silence list (*!user@host)
-	/silence +nick Add nickname based silence (nick!@)	+	/<span class="cmd">silence +nick</span> Add nickname based silence (nick!@)
-	/silence -nick Remove nickname based silence (nick!@)	+	/<span class="cmd">silence -nick</span> Remove nickname based silence (nick!@)
-	/silence List the current silence list for you	+	/<span class="cmd">silence</span> List the current silence list for you
-	/silence nick Show the silence list for the given nick (restricted to ~~opers only~~)</pre></html>	+	/<span class="cmd">silence nick</span> Show the silence list for the given nick (restricted to network staff)</pre></html>

-	It is possible to use wildcards as needed in the silence mask. You may need to use a /~~QUOTE~~ command in front of the silence command if your client does not understand /~~SILENCE~~.	+	It is possible to use wildcards (i.e., ? and *) as needed in the silence mask. You may need to use a <code>quote</code> or <code>raw</code> (e.g., <code>/quote silence +user@host</code>) command in front of the <code>silence</code> command if your client does not understand the <code>silence</code> command.

-	~~Prepending '!' to the mask or nickname will cause it to act as a reverse~~ silence (e.g. always allow users matching the mask to send you messages). This allows you to silence !@* (block everyone) and then add reverse silences for those who you would like to be able to message you.	+	== Reverse silence ==

-	~~Example: <code>/~~silence +!~~JoeUser</code>~~	+	Prepending '!' to the mask or nickname will cause the entry to act as a reverse silence, that is, always allow users matching the mask to send you messages. This allows you to silence !@* (block everyone) and then add reverse silences for those who you would like to be able to message you.

-	~~There is a maximum of 50 silences at one time on DareNET. Also, a drawback is that you cannot specify the types of messages which are filtered (like you can with~~ /~~IGNORE on many clients, rather all private messages from the specified nick~~/~~mask get suppressed). The upside is that the messages are stopped at the SERVER, and never make it to the client -- making it useful against private message floods.~~	+	<html><pre><strong>Example:</strong> /silence +!JoeUser</pre></html>

-	~~==Accounts==~~	+	The maximum number of silence entries you may have at one time on DareNET is 50. Also, one drawback is that you cannot specify the types of messages which are filtered like you can with <code>ignore</code> on many clients, rather all private messages from the specified nick/mask get suppressed. The upside is that the messages are stopped at the server and never make it to the client, making it useful against private message floods.

-	~~The /SILENCE command also supports account names using the +x hostname format to silence users by their NickServ account name. For example: /silence +!@accountname.*.darenet~~	+	== Account silences ==

-	~~NOTE~~: This will match any user that is logged into the specified NickServ account ~~name~~, regardless of whether they have set umode +x or not. You can also have NickServ automatically add entries to your silence list when you authenticate! See /NickServ HELP IGNORE for more information.	+	The <code>silence</code> command also supports matching users against their DareNET (NickServ) account name using the +x hostname format.
		+
		+	<html><pre><strong>Example:</strong> /silence +!@joe..</pre></html>
		+
		+	This will match any user that is logged into the specified NickServ account, which in the above example would be the account "joe", regardless of whether they have set umode +x or not. You can also have NickServ automatically add entries to your silence list when you authenticate! See <code>/msg NickServ HELP IGNORE</code> for more information.
