C

Current revision as of 02:53, 15 October 2012

C is our channel services bot here on DareNET. It provides numerous features that help automate channel management, prevent channel takeovers and generally make life easier for both users and staff. This document describes the different commands and features that C provides.

Usage

You can communicate with C via private message, or through server-side aliases, as shown below:

/msg C <text>
/msg C@services.darenet.org <text>
/ChanServ <text>
/CS <text>

C also supports "in-channel" (also known as "fantasy") commands, which is discussed below.

For the purpose of this document, we will be using the first two methods listed, as some IRC clients do not readily support server-side aliases without additional setup and/or client commands. However, you can choose to use any of the above methods.

In-channel Commands

As previously mentioned, C supports what we call in-channel commands. You can use the in-channel method for just about any of the commands C recognizes. All in-channel commands directed towards C begin with a period. If a command is given in a channel, and the channel parameter is not given, C will use the name of the channel that the command was used in.

In-channel commands may only be used in registered channels; however, C does not have to reside in the channel for them to work.

Example:

To illustrate what we're talking about, let's say we have a channel named #chat and we would like to grant the user JoeClient op status. Using the in-channel method, we could achieve this by simply typing the following in #chat:

.OP JoeClient

-==Usage==
-<p>You can communicate with ChanServ via regular private messages, or through server-side aliases. For example:
+* <code>/msg C <nowiki><text></nowiki></code>
-<ul><li><code>/msg ChanServ@services.darenet.org [text]</code></li><li><code>/ChanServ [text]</code></li><li><code>/CS [text]</code></li></ul></p>
+* <code>/msg C@services.darenet.org <nowiki><text></nowiki></code>
-<p>For the purpose of this document, we will be using the <code>/ChanServ</code> command; however, it can be substituted with any of the other methods listed above. NOTE: Some IRC clients (e.g., irssi) do not readily support the <code>/ChanServ</code> and <code>/CS</code> server-side command aliases, and you will need to use <code>/msg ChanServ@services.darenet.org</code> instead (or, if supported, /quote or /raw).</p>
+* <code>/ChanServ <nowiki><text></nowiki></code>

+* <code>/CS <nowiki><text></nowiki></code>
+C also supports "in-channel" (also known as "fantasy") commands, which is discussed below.
+For the purpose of this document, we will be using the first two methods listed, as some IRC clients do not readily support server-side aliases without additional setup and/or client commands. However, you can choose to use any of the above methods.
 ==In-channel Commands==
-<p>ChanServ supports what we call ''in-channel'' commands (also known as "fantasy" commands elsewhere) for the vast majority of commands it recognizes. All ChanServ ''in-channel'' commands are prefixed with '.' on DareNET. If a command is given in a channel, and the channel parameter is not given, ChanServ will use the channel that the command was issued in. Additionally, ''in-channel'' commands may be used in any registered channel regardless of whether ChanServ resides in the channel or not.</p>
-<p>To illustrate what we're talking about, let's say we have a channel named ''#chat'' and we would like to op the user ''JoeClient''. We could do this using one of the following commands:</p>
-<p><code>/ChanServ OP #chat JoeClient</code></p>
-<p>--or, within ''#chat'' itself--</p>
-<p><code>.OP JoeClient</code></p>

If a command is given in a channel, and the channel parameter is not given, C will use the name of the channel that the command was used in.
-<p>As mentioned earlier, ChanServ supports a vast number of commands. For your convenience, we have broken these commands down into four categories, as shown below. Simply select a category to view a list of commands within that category.</p>
-<p>[[ChanServ2/CHANNEL|CHANNEL]]</p>
+''In-channel'' commands may only be used in registered channels; however, C does not have to reside in the channel for them to work.

-<p>[[ChanServ2/USER|USER]]</p>

-<p>''Commands that allow you to manage a channel's user (i.e., access) list.''</p>

+To illustrate what we're talking about, let's say we have a channel named ''#chat'' and we would like to grant the user ''JoeClient'' op status. Using the ''in-channel'' method, we could achieve this by simply typing the following in ''#chat'':
