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


 
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 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, 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 ''in-channel'' commands directed towards ChanServ 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 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'':
 
<code>.OP JoeClient</code>
