C2

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:



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:

User Management Commands
