NickServ Commandsback to top
REGISTER Syntax:
Registers your nickname in the NickServ database. Once your nickname is registered, you can use the SET and ACCESS commands to configure your nickname's settings as you like them. Make sure you remember the password you use when registering; you'll need it to make changes to your nickname later. (Note that case matters! FIDO, Fido, and fido are all different passwords!) You must include an E-mail address when registering your nickname, as an authentication code will be E-mailed to you. You may also set one later using the SET EMAIL command. Guidelines on choosing passwords: Passwords should not be easily guessable. For example, using your real name as a password is a bad idea. Using your nickname as a password is a much worse idea and, in fact, NickServ will not allow it. Also, short passwords are vulnerable to trial-and-error searches, so you should choose a password at least 5 characters long. back to top
AUTH Syntax:
Authenticates registration or change of E-mail for a nickname. To ensure that your E-mail address is correct, NickServ will send an message containing an authentication code to the E-mail address given when you register your nickname or change your E-mail address with the SET EMAIL command. This command allows you to confirm that you have received the message and continue using your nickname normally. Replace code in the command with the nine-digit authentication code given in the E-mail message. back to top
SENDAUTH Syntax:
Sends you a copy of the authentication code for your nickname after a REGISTER or SET EMAIL. If you accidentally delete or otherwise lose the message with the authentication code, you can use this command to have an extra copy sent to you. To prevent abuse, this command may only be used once every 24 hours. back to top
SENDPASS Syntax:
Sends an E-mail message containing the given nickname's password to the E-mail address registered for the nickname. The address must have first been confirmed using the AUTH command. back to top
IDENTIFY Syntax:
Tells NickServ that you are really the owner of this nickname. Many commands require you to authenticate yourself with this command before you use them. The password should be the same one you sent with the REGISTER command. back to top
DROP Syntax:
De-registers (drops) your nickname from the NickServ database. A nickname that has been dropped is free for anyone to re-register. Note that when you drop a nickname, all nicknames linked to it will be dropped as well. To remove a single linked nickname, use the UNLINK command. To prevent accidental use of this command, you must enter your password in order to drop your nickname. back to top
LINK Syntax:
Links a new nickname to the nickname you are currently using, creating a new "alias" for your nick. The new nick will be equivalent to your current nick in terms of access privileges and memos; for example, you can read memos sent to one of your linked nicks from any other one, and if one of your nicks has auto-op privileges in a channel, you will get auto-opped no matter which linked nick you use. To cancel a link, use the UNLINK command. In order to use this command, you must identify for your current nickname (using the IDENTIFY command), and the nickname to be linked must not currently be in use. back to top
UNLINK Syntax:
Removes a link (alias) to your nickname created with the LINK command. You cannot unlink the nickname you are currently using; change to another linked nick first before using this command. If you unlink the "main nickname" you have selected using the SET MAINNICK command, your current nickname will automatically be selected as the main nickname. back to top
LISTLINKS Syntax:
Lists all nicknames which are linked to your nick. The main nickname for the group of linked nicks will be indicated by a "*" to the left of the nick.back to top
ACCESS Syntax:
/ns ACCESS DEL mask
/ns ACCESS LIST
Modifies or displays the access list for your nickname. This is the list of user@host addresses which will be automatically recognized by NickServ as allowed to use the nickname. If you connect to IRC with an address on this list, you will not be affected by the nick's SET KILL setting, and if the SET SECURE option is disabled, you will be able to receive auto-op and other privileges in channels without using the IDENTIFY command. The mask given to the ADD and DELcommands may contain wildcards (* or ?). Examples:
Allows access to user achurch from any machine in the dragonfire.net domain.
Reverses the previous command.
Displays the current access list. back to top
AJOIN Syntax:
/ns AJOIN DEL channel
/ns AJOIN LIST
Modifies or displays the autojoin list for your nickname. This is the list of channels that you would like to automatically join, and takes effect whenever you identify to NickServ. You may only put channel names starting with "#" in the autojoin list (local channels cannot be added). Note that the IRC server may prohibit you from entering some channels on the autojoin list, such as channels that have a channel key set (mode +k) or are invite-only (mode +i). However, if you have access to the ChanServ INVITE command on a registered channel, NickServ will automatically invite you into the channel. back to top
SET Syntax:
Sets various nickname options. option can be one of: | option | parameters | description | | password | new-password | Changes the password used to identify you as the nickname's owner. | | language | number | Changes the language Services uses when sending messages to you (for example, when responding to a command you send). number should be chosen from the list of supported languages displayed with /msg NickServ HELP SET LANGUAGE. | | url | url | Associates the given URL with your nickname. This URL will be displayed whenever someone requests information on your nickname with the INFO command. | | email | address | Associates the given E-mail address with your nickname. This address will be displayed whenever someone requests information on your nickname with the INFO command. | | info | text | Associates the given text with your nickname; it will be displayed whenever someone requests information on your nickname with the INFO command. | | kill | on/quick/off | Turns the automatic kill protection option for your nickname on or off. With kill protection on, if another user tries to take your nick, they will be given one minute to change to another nick, after which they will be forcibly removed from IRC by NickServ. If you select QUICK, the user will be given only 20 seconds to change their nickname instead of the usual 60
| | secure | on/off | Turns NickServ's security features on or off for your nickname. With SECURE set, you must enter your password before you will be recognized as the owner of the nick, regardless of whether your address is on the access list. However, if you are on the access list, NickServ will not auto-kill you regardless of the setting of the KILL option. | | private | on/off | Turns NickServ's privacy option on or off for your nickname. With PRIVATE set, your nickname will not appear in nickname lists generated with NickServ's LIST command. (However, anyone who knows your nickname can still get information on it using the INFO command.) | | hide | (email/usermask/quit) (on/off) | Allows you to prevent certain pieces of information from being displayed when someone does a NickServ INFO on your nickname. You can hide your E-mail address (EMAIL), last seen user@host mask (USERMASK), and last quit message (QUIT). The second parameter specifies whether the information should be displayed (OFF) or hidden (ON). | | timezone | UTC-offset/timezone/default | Sets the time zone to use for displaying times (such as a nickname or channel's last used time), instead of using the time zone Services is operating in; the DEFAULT setting can be used to return to Services' time zone. The time zone can be specified in one of two ways: As a UTC offset, the time difference between your local time and UTC (Universal Coordinated Time, also known as GMT, Greenwich Mean Time). The offset is given as a "+" or "-" to indicate ahead of (east) or behind (west) UTC, followed by either a whole number of hours or a string in the form "hh:mm".
As a time zone name, such as "GMT" or "EDT". Not all time zone names are supported by Services, and some countries' time zones have the same names, so if you get an error or the time displayed by Services is wrong, use a UTC offset instead.
Note that Services will not automatically adjust for daylight savings time (summer time); you will have to adjust the time zone manually.
Examples:
Set the time zone to 5 hours behind UTC.
Set the time zone to 3 hours, 30 minutes ahead of UTC.
Set the time zone to Japan Standard Time (UTC+9:00).
| | mainnick | nickname | When you have several nicknames linked together, allows you to select which one is displayed in channel access lists. If you later unlink this nick, then a different one will be selected automatically. |
In order to use this command, you must first IDENTIFY with your password. back to top
UNSET Syntax:
Allows you to clear the URL (URL), E-mail address (EMAIL), or information text (INFO) associated with your nickname. If the NSRequireEmail option is set in modules.conf, then the E-mail address cannot be cleared (UNSET EMAIL will generate an error). back to top
RECOVER Syntax:
Allows you to recover your nickname if someone else has taken it; this does the same thing that NickServ does automatically if someone tries to use a kill-protected nickname. When you give this command, NickServ will bring a fake user online with the same nickname as the user you're trying to recover your nick from, causing the IRC servers to disconnect the other user. This fake user will remain online for one minute (by default, changeable with the NSReleaseTimeout option in modules.conf) to ensure that the other user does not immediately reconnect; after that time, you can reclaim your nick. Alternatively, use the RELEASE command to get the nick back sooner. In order to use the RECOVER command for a nickname, you must supply the correct password for the nickname, or you must already have identified to a nick linked to the given nick. back to top
RELEASE Syntax:
Instructs NickServ to remove any hold on your nickname caused by automatic kill protection or use of the RECOVER command. By default, such holds last for one minute (changeable with the NSReleaseTimeout option in modules.conf); this command gets rid of them sooner. In order to use the RELEASE command for a nickname, you must supply the correct password for the nickname, or you must already have identified to a nick linked to the given nick. back to top
GHOST Syntax:
Terminates a "ghost" IRC session using your nickname. A "ghost" session is one which is not actually connected, but which the IRC server believes is still online for one reason or another. Typically, this happens if your computer crashes or your Internet or modem connection goes down while you're on IRC. In order to use the GHOST command for a nickname, you must supply the correct password for the nickname, or you must already have identified to a nick linked to the given nick. back to top
INFO Syntax:
Displays information about the given nickname, such as the nickname's owner, last seen address and time, and options. If you are identified for the nick you're getting information for and ALL is specified, you will be shown all the information, regardless of whether it's hidden or not. When the nickserv/mail-auth module is in use, if the nickname's E-mail address has not yet been confirmed with the AUTH command, it will not be shown to anyone except the nickname owner and Services administrators, regardless of the nickname's SET HIDE EMAIL setting. back to top
LISTCHANS Syntax:
Lists the names and the total number of channels you have registered under your nickname. Services admins may list channels for any nickname by giving the nickname with the command (for example, /msg NickServ LISTCHANS OtherNick). back to top
STATUS Syntax:
Returns whether the user using the given nickname is recognized as the owner of the nickname. The response has this format: nickname status-code
where nickname is the nickname sent with the command, and status-code is one of the following: no such user online or nickname not registered
user not recognized as nickname's owner
user recognized as owner via access list only
user recognized as owner via password identification Up to sixteen nicknames may be sent with each command; the rest will be ignored. No error message is generated if no nickname is given. back to top
ChanServ commandsback to top
REGISTER Syntax:
Registers a channel in the ChanServ database. In order to use this command, you must first be a channel operator on the channel you're trying to register. The password is used with the IDENTIFY command to allow you to make changes to the channel settings at a later time. The last parameter, which must be included, is a general description of the channel's purpose. When you register a channel, you are recorded as the "founder" of the channel. The channel founder is allowed to change all of the channel settings for the channel; ChanServ will also automatically give the founder channel-operator privileges when s/he enters the channel. See the ACCESS command (/msg ChanServ HELP ACCESS) for information on giving a subset of these privileges to other channel users. NOTICE: In order to register a channel, you must have first registered and identified for your nickname. If you haven't, /msg NickServ HELP for information on how to do so.
back to top
SENDPASS Syntax:
Sends you an E-mail message containing the password for the given channel. You must be the founder of the channel to use this command, and you must first identify for your nickname with the NickServ IDENTIFY command.
back to top
IDENTIFY Syntax:
Authenticates you to ChanServ as the founder of the given channel. Many commands require you to use this command before using them. The password should be the same one you sent with the REGISTER command.
back to top
DROP Syntax:
Unregisters the named channel. Can only be used by channel founder, who must use the IDENTIFY command first. (However, Services admins may drop any channel without identifying for the channel.)
back to top
SET Syntax:
Allows the channel founder to set various channel options and other information. The founder must use the IDENTIFY command before using SET. Available options: | option | parameters | description | | founder | nickname | Changes the founder of a channel. The new nickname must be a registered one. | | successor | nickname | Changes the successor of a channel. If the founder's nickname expires or is dropped while the channel is still registered, the successor will become the new founder of the channel. The nickname must be a registered one. | | password | password | Sets the password used to identify as the founder of the channel. | | desc | description | Sets the description for the channel. | | url | url | Associates the given URL with the channel. | | email | address | Associates the given E-mail address with the channel. | | entrymsg | message | Sets the message which will be sent via /NOTICE to users when they enter the channel. | | keeptopic | on / off | Enables or disables the topic retention option for a channel. When topic retention is set, the topic for the channel will be remembered by ChanServ even after the last user leaves the channel, and will be restored the next time the channel is created. | | topiclock | on / off | Enables or disables the topic lock option for a channel. When topic lock is set, ChanServ will not allow the channel topic to be changed except via the TOPIC command. | | mlock | modes | Sets the mode-lock parameter for the channel. ChanServ allows you to define certain channel modes to be always on (or off). All binary modes (n, s, t, k, l, and so on) can be locked; each mode can be locked on, locked off, or not locked. The modes parameter is constructed exactly the same way as a /MODE command; that is, modes followed by a + are locked on, and modes followed by a - are locked off. Warning: If you set a mode-locked key, as in the second example below, you should also set the RESTRICTED option for the channel, or anyone entering the channel when it is empty will be able to see the key! MLOCK +i will likewise not prevent users from entering the channel when it is empty without being invited.
Examples:
Forces modes n and t on, and modes i, k, and l off. All other modes are left free to be either on or off.
Forces modes k, n, s, and t on, and modes i, l, m, and p off. Also forces the channel key to be "my-key".
Removes the mode lock; all channel modes are free to be either on or off. (see user modes and channel modes) | | hide | ( email / topic / mlock ) on / off | Allows you to prevent certain pieces of information from being displayed when someone does a ChanServ INFO on the given channel. You can hide the channel's E-mail address (EMAIL), last topic (TOPIC), and mode lock (MLOCK). The second parameter specifies whether the information should be displayed (OFF) or hidden (ON). Note that the topic will always be hidden if the channel is mode-locked +p or +s. | | private | on / off | Enables or disables the private option for a channel. When private is set, a /msg ChanServ LIST will not include the channel in any lists. | | secure | on / off | Enables or disables ChanServ's security features for a channel. When SECURE is set, only users who have registered their nicknames with NickServ and IDENTIFY'd with their password will be given privileges on the channel as controlled by the access list. If the RESTRICTED option is also set, users will not be able to join the channel until they identify to NickServ. | | secureops | on / off | Enables or disables the secure ops option for a channel. When secure ops is set, users who are not on the access list will not be allowed chanop status. | | leaveops | on / off | Enables or disables the leave ops option for a channel. When leave ops is set, ChanServ will leave server ops (+o for the first person in the channel) in place even if the user would not normally get auto-opped. The SECUREOPS option will still be enforced. Notice: This can allow users to "steal" ops during a netsplit. |
back to top
UNSET Syntax:
Clears the given setting for a channel. As with the SET command, Services admins can clear settings for any channel without identifying for the channel.
back to top
SOP Syntax:
/cs SOP channel DEL nickname
/cs SOP channel LIST [mask | list]
/cs SOP channel COUNT
Maintains the SuperOp (SOP) list for a channel. Users with SOP status are automatically opped (set mode +o) and protected (mode +a), if supported by the IRC server) when they join the channel. An SOP can modify the AOP, HOP, and VOP lists. Only a channel's founder can modify the SOP list. The SOP LIST command displays the SOP list. If a wildcard mask is given, only those entries matching the mask are displayed. If a list of entry numbers is given, only those entries are shown; for example:
Lists SOP list entries numbered 2 through 5 and 7 through 9.
The SOP COUNT command returns the number of entries there are on the SOP list. back to top
AOP Syntax:
/cs AOP channel DEL nickname
/cs AOP channel LIST [mask | list]
/cs AOP channel COUNT
Maintains the AutoOp (AOP) list for a channel. Users with AOP status are automatically opped (set mode +o) when they join the channel. An AOP can modify the HOP and VOP lists; SOPs can modify the AOP list. The AOP LIST command displays the AOP list. If a wildcard mask is given, only those entries matching the mask are displayed. If a list of entry numbers is given, only those entries are shown; for example:
Lists AOP list entries numbered 2 through 5 and 7 through 9.
The AOP COUNT command returns the number of entries there are on the AOP list. back to top
HOP Syntax:
/cs HOP channel DEL nickname
/cs HOP channel LIST [mask | list]
/cs HOP channel COUNT
Maintains the HalfOp (HOP) list for a channel. Users with HOP status are automatically halfopped (set mode +h) when they join the channel. An HOP can modify the VOP list; SOPs and AOPs can modify the HOP list. The HOP LIST command displays the HOP list. If a wildcard mask is given, only those entries matching the mask are displayed. If a list of entry numbers is given, only those entries are shown; for example:
Lists HOP list entries numbered 2 through 5 and 7 through 9.
The HOP COUNT command returns the number of entries there are on the HOP list.
Note that this command is only available if the IRC server in use supports halfops. back to top
VOP Syntax:
/cs VOP channel DEL nickname
/cs VOP channel LIST [mask | list]
/cs VOP channel COUNT
Maintains the VoiceOp (VOP) list for a channel. Users with VOP status are automatically voiced (set mode +v) when they join the channel. The VOP LIST command displays the VOP list. If a wildcard mask is given, only those entries matching the mask are displayed. If a list of entry numbers is given, only those entries are shown; for example:
Lists VOP list entries numbered 2 through 5 and 7 through 9.
The VOP COUNT command returns the number of entries there are on the VOP list. back to top
ACCESS Syntax:
/cs ACCESS channel DEL {nickname | entry-num | list}
/cs ACCESS channel LIST [mask | list]
/cs ACCESS channel COUNT
Maintains the access list for a channel. The access list specifies which users are allowed chanop status or access to ChanServ commands on the channel. Different user levels allow for access to different subsets of privileges; /msg ChanServ HELP ACCESS LEVELS for more specific information. Any nickname not on the access list has a user level of 0. The ACCESS ADD command adds the given nickname to the access list with the given user level; if the nick is already present on the list, its access level is changed to the level specified in the command. The level specified must be less than that of the user giving the command, and if the nick is already on the access list, the current access level of that nick must be less than the access level of the user giving the command. The ACCESS DEL command removes the given nickname from the access list. If a list of entry numbers is given, those entries are deleted. (See the example for LIST below.) The ACCESS LIST command displays the access list. If a wildcard mask is given, only those entries matching the mask are displayed. If a list of entry numbers is given, only those entries are shown; for example:
Lists access entries numbered 2 through 5 and 7 through 9.
The ACCESS COUNT command returns the number of entries there are on the access list. Note that the access list may also be manipulated with the SOP, AOP, HOP, and VOP commands, which correspond to levels of 100, 50, 40, and 30 respectively. back to top
LEVELS Syntax:
/cs LEVELS channel {DIS | DISABLE} type
/cs LEVELS channel LIST
/cs LEVELS channel RESET
The LEVELS command allows fine control over the meaning of the numeric access levels used by the ACCESS command. With this command, you can define the access level required for most of ChanServ's functions. (The SET FOUNDER and SET PASSWORD commands, as well as this command, are always restricted to the channel founder.) Caution: This command is for advanced users only! Changing level settings with this command may cause the SOP, AOP, HOP, and VOP commands to stop working correctly. LEVELS SET allows the access level for a function or group of functions to be changed. LEVELS DISABLE (or DIS for short) disables an automatic feature or disallows access to a function by anyone other than the channel founder. LEVELS LIST shows the current levels for each function or group of functions. LEVELS RESET resets the levels to the default levels of a newly-created channel (see HELP ACCESS LEVELS). The following features/functions can be set using LEVELS: Automatic channel protect (+a) status
Automatic channel operator status
Automatic halfop (+h) status
Automatic mode +v
Allowed to use INVITE command
Allowed to use AKICK command
Allowed to use SET command (not FOUNDER/PASSWORD)
Allowed to use CLEAR command
Allowed to use UNBAN command
Allowed to view the access list
Allowed to modify the access list

Allows users with level 3 on the ACCESS list to use the /KICK command.back to top
AKICK Syntax:
/cs AKICK channel DEL mask
/cs AKICK channel LIST [mask | list]
/cs AKICK channel VIEW [mask | list]
/cs AKICK channel ENFORCE
/cs AKICK channel COUNT
Maintains the autokick list for a channel. If a user on the autokick list attempts to join the channel, ChanServ will ban that user from the channel, then kick the user. The AKICK ADD command adds the given user@host or nickname!user@host mask to the autokick list. If a reason is given with the command, that reason will be used when the user is kicked; if not, the default reason is "You have been banned from the channel". The AKICK DEL command removes the given mask from the autokick list. It does not, however, remove any bans placed by an autokick; those must be removed manually. The AKICK LIST command displays the autokick list, or optionally only those autokick entries which match the given mask. AKICK VIEW is similar, but shows more details. The AKICK ENFORCE command causes ChanServ to enforce the current autokick list by removing those users who match an autokick mask. The AKICK COUNT command returns how many entries there are on the autokick list. By default, limited to users with level 100 (SOP) access and above on the channel. back to top
INFO Syntax:
Lists information about the named registered channel, including its founder, time of registration, last time used, description, and mode lock, if any. If you are identified as the founder of the channel you're getting information for and ALL is specified, the entry message and successor will also be displayed. back to top
LIST Syntax:
Lists all registered channels matching the given pattern. Channels with the PRIVATE option set will only be displayed to Services admins. Channels with the NOEXPIRE option set will have a ! prepended to the channel name for Services admins. If the FORBIDDEN, SUSPENDED or NOEXPIRE options are given, only channels which, respectively, are forbidden, suspended or have the NOEXPIRE flag set will be displayed. The options can be used in any order and in any combination. These options are limited to Services admins. back to top

DEHALFOP Syntax:
Removes halfop access from a selected nickname on a channel. If nickname is not given, removes halfop access from you. By default, limited to users with level 40 (HOP) access and above on the channel. Only available with IRC servers which support halfops. back to top
PROTECT Syntax:
Gives channel protection (mode +a) to a selected nickname on a channel. If nickname is not given, gives channel protection to you. By default, limited to users with level 100 (SOP) access and above on the channel. Only available with IRC servers which support this mode. back to top
DEPROTECT Syntax:
Removes channel protection (mode +a) from a selected nickname on a channel. If nickname is not given, removes channel protection from you. By default, limited to users with level 100 (SOP) access and above on the channel. Only available with IRC servers which support this mode. back to top
INVITE Syntax:
Tells ChanServ to invite you into the given channel. By default, limited to users with level 50 (AOP) access and above on the channel.

MemoServ Commandsback to top
SEND Syntax:
Sends the named nickname or channel a memo containing memo-text. When sending to a nickname, the recipient will receive a notice that he/she has a new memo. The target nickname/channel must be registered. back to top
LIST Syntax:
Lists any memos you currently have. With NEW, lists only new (unread) memos. Unread memos are marked with a "*" to the left of the memo number; memos that will not expire are marked with a "+". You can also specify a list of numbers, as in the example below: LIST 2-5,7-9
Lists memos numbered 2 through 5 and 7 through 9. back to top
READ Syntax:
Sends you the text of the memos specified. If LAST is given, sends you the memo you most recently received. If NEW is given, sends you all of your new memos. Otherwise, sends you memo number num. You can also give a list of numbers, as with the LIST command. back to top
SAVE Syntax:
Marks the given memo or memos as non-expiring. You can give either a single memo number or, as with the LIST command, a list of memos. Note that this command will not be available if the MSExpire option is not set (since there would be no point in using it). back to top
DEL Syntax:
Deletes the specified memo or memos. You can supply multiple memo numbers or ranges of numbers instead of a single number, as with the LIST command; you can also give the word ALL, which causes all of your memos to be deleted. Warning: Once a memo is deleted, it cannot be recovered! back to top
SET Syntax:
Sets various memo options. option can be one of: | option | parameters | description | | notify | on / logon / new / off | Changes when you will be notified about new memos: You will be notified of memos when you log on, when you unset /AWAY, and when they are sent to you.
You will only be notified of memos when you log on or when you unset /AWAY.
You will only be notified of memos when they are sent to you.
You will not receive any notification of memos. ON is equivalent to LOGON and NEW combined. Note that if your nickname has the "secure" setting on, you will only be notified of new memos (for LOGON or ON) after you identify to NickServ. | | limit | number | Sets the maximum number of memos you can receive. | | forward | on / copy / off | Sets whether MemoServ automatically forwards to your E-mail address memos sent to you. When set to ON, memos sent to your nickname will instead be forwarded to the E-mail address registered with your nickname. COPY is similar, but also causes MemoServ to save a copy of the memo to read online. When set to OFF, your memos will be stored online as usual. Even if you set this option to ON, you may still receive memos online if Services is unable to forward them to you.
Note that when this option is set to COPY and you have received the maximum number of memos you are allowed to, you will not be able to receive any new memos (including by E-mail) until you delete some old memos using the DEL command. |

INFO Syntax:
Without a parameter, displays information on the number of memos you have, how many of them are unread, how many total memos you can receive and when you are notified of new ones. With a channel parameter, displays the same information for the given channel. back to top
FORWARD Syntax:
Forwards one or more of your memos to your E-mail address. You must have a valid E-mail address set for your nickname in order to use this command. Channel memos cannot be forwarded.back to top
IGNORE Syntax:
Controls the list of "ignored" users; users whose nickname or user@host mask match an entry on this list are not allowed to send you memos. ADD adds the given nickname or user@host mask to your ignore list, and DEL removes the given nickname or mask from the list; LIST displays your current ignore list. Note that the nickname or mask given to the ADD command may contain "*" or "?" wildcards, and is not case-sensitive; for example, "*Evil*" matches "EvilNick", "AN_EVIL_USER" and "devil". back to top
