ChanServ 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 ChanServ provides.

Usage

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

/msg ChanServ@services.darenet.org [text]
/ChanServ [text]
/CS [text]

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

For the purpose of this document, we will be using the /ChanServ server-side alias command; however, it can be substituted with any of the other methods listed above. Please note, though, that some IRC clients do not readily support server-side aliases, and you will need to use /msg ChanServ@services.darenet.org instead.

In-channel Commands

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

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

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 this by simply typing the following in #chat:

.OP JoeClient
