Current revision as of 12:13, 17 August 2014

The following channel modes are available on DareNET:

Mode	Name	Arguments	Description
+b	Channel ban	<ban mask>	Prevents all users matching the mask from joining the channel. Users who are still in the channel and match the mask will be unable to send messages to the channel. Extended Bans are supported.
+c	No colors		Channel messages containing control codes/colors are blocked.
+C	No CTCPs		CTCP messages addressed to the channel are blocked (ACTION CTCPs (i.e., /me) are still allowed).
+d	Hidden users		This mode will be automatically set/unset when you set +D or -D. It indicates that hidden users are still present on the channel. See the Delayed Joins FAQ for details.
+D	Delayed joins		See the delayed joins FAQ for details.
+e	Exceptions	<ban mask>	Allows matching users to bypass join restrictions including bans (+b), invite only mode (+i), channel keys (+k), user limits (+l), registered only mode (+r) and SSL only mode (+Z). Extended Bans are supported.
+h	Half operator	<nick>	Grants a user half operator status on the channel. Nicklist prefix: %

+t	Op-only topic		Only (half)ops may change the channel topic using /TOPIC.
+T	No multiple targets		Blocks messages targeting multiple channels (such as those sent by /amsg scripts).
