Chanserv
From DamsWiki
ChanServ, on many IRC networks, is an IRC service which maintains channel registration and access information. If a channel is registered with ChanServ, its owners (and those they have designated) can use ChanServ to obtain control over the channel, gaining channel operator privileges. Most channel service bots also allow other sorts of channel management options, such as topic locks (in addition to +t), mode locks, and providing users automatically with operator status, half-operator status, voice, or other access, as designated by the channel owners. They may also provide some form of automated ban-list management.
There are several implementations of IRC services which have a ChanServ bot; some other services use other names, such as CS. The exact commands and features available depend on the service implementation and the network in question. 90% of the servers you will join will have some sort of #help room to join and ask them specific questions about the server and its services in general. Do not be afraid to ask for help. They are there to help you understand.
User only commands
HELP
ChanServ allows you to register and control various aspects of channels. ChanServ can often prevent malicious users from "taking over" channels by limiting who is allowed channel operator privileges. Available commands are listed below; to use them, type /msg ChanServ command. For more information on a specific command, type /msg ChanServ HELP command.
EXPIRES
Note that any channel which is not used for <num> days (i.e. which no user on the channel's access list enters for that period of time) will be automatically dropped.
REGISTER
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ REGISTER channel password description
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 others 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 your nickname. If you haven't, /msg ChanServ HELP for information on how to do so.
IDENTIFY
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ IDENTIFY channel password
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.
LOGOUT
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ LOGOUT channel nickname
This command will log the selected nickname out meaning they would have to reidentify themselves to regain their access.
If you are the founder of the channel, you can log out anybody, else you can only log out yourself.
DROP
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ DROP channel
Unregisters the named channel. Can only be used by channel founder, who must use the IDENTIFY command first.
SET
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ SET channel option parameters
Allows the channel founder to set various channel options and other information.
Available options:
FOUNDER Set the founder of a channel SUCCESSOR Set the successor for a channel PASSWORD Set the founder password DESC Set the channel description URL Associate a URL with the channel EMAIL Associate an E-mail address with the channel ENTRYMSG Set a message to be sent to users when they enter the channel BANTYPE Set how Services make bans on the channel MLOCK Lock channel modes on or off KEEPTOPIC Retain topic when channel is not in use OPNOTICE Send a notice when OP/DEOP commands are used PEACE Regulate the use of critical commands PRIVATE Hide channel from LIST command RESTRICTED Restrict access to the channel SECURE Activate ChanServ security features SECUREOPS Stricter control of chanop status SECUREFOUNDER Stricter control of channel founder status SIGNKICK Sign kicks that are done with KICK command TOPICLOCK Topic can only be changed with TOPIC XOP Toggle the user privilege system
Type /msg ChanServ HELP SET option for more information on a particular option.
SET FOUNDER
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ SET channel FOUNDER nick
Changes the founder of a channel. The new nickname must be a registered one.
SET SUCCESSOR
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ SET channel SUCCESSOR nick
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. However, if the successor already has too many channels registered (<num>), the channel will be dropped instead, just as if no successor had been set. The new nickname must be a registered one.
SET PASSWORD
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ SET channel PASSWORD password
Sets the password used to identify as the founder of the channel.
SET DESC
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ SET channel DESC description
Sets the description for the channel, which shows up with the LIST and INFO commands.
SET URL
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ SET channel URL [url]
Associates the given URL with the channel. This URL will be displayed whenever someone requests information on the channel with the INFO command. If no parameter is given, deletes any current URL for the channel.
SET EMAIL
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ SET channel EMAIL [address]
Associates the given E-mail address with the channel. This address will be displayed whenever someone requests information on the channel with the INFO command. If no parameter is given, deletes any current E-mail address for the channel.
SET ENTRYMSG
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ SET channel ENTRYMSG [message]
Sets the message which will be sent via /notice to users when they enter the channel. If no parameter is given, causes no message to be sent upon entering the channel.
SET BANTYPE
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ SET channel BANTYPE bantype
Sets the ban type that will be used by services whenever they need to ban someone from your channel.
bantype is a number between 0 and 3 that means: 0: ban in the form *!user@host 1: ban in the form *!*user@host 2: ban in the form *!*@host 3: ban in the form *!*user@*.domain
SET KEEPTOPIC
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ SET 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.
SET TOPICLOCK
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ SET channel 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.
SET MLOCK
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ SET channel MLOCK modes
Sets the mode-lock parameter for the channel. ChanServ allows you to define certain channel modes to be always on, off or free to be either on or off.
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. Note, however, that unlike the /MODE command, each use of SET MLOCK will remove all modes previously locked before setting the new!
Warning: If you set a mode-locked key, as in the second example below, you should also set the RESTRICTED option for the channel (see HELP SET RESTRICTED), or anyone entering the channel when it is empty will be able to see the key!
Examples:
SET #channel MLOCK +nt-iklps Forces modes n and t on, and modes i, k, l, p, and s off. Mode m is left free to be either on or off.
SET #channel MLOCK +knst-ilmp my-key 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".
SET #channel MLOCK + Removes the mode lock; all channel modes are free to be either on or off.
SET PEACE
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ SET channel PEACE {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables the peace option for a channel. When peace is set, an user won't be able to kick, ban or remove a channel status of an user that has a level superior or equal to his via ChanServ commands.
SET PRIVATE
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ SET channel 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.
SET RESTRICTED
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ SET channel RESTRICTED {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables the restricted access option for a channel. When restricted access is set, users who would normally be disallowed from having channel operator privileges (users with negative access levels and, if secure ops is set, users not on the access list) will instead be kicked and banned from the channel.
SET SECURE
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ SET channel 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 ChanServ and IDENTIFY'd with their password will be given access to the channel as controlled by the access list.
SET SECUREOPS
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ SET channel SECUREOPS {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables the secure ops option for a channel. When secure ops is set, users who are not on the userlist will not be allowed chanop status.
SET SECUREFOUNDER
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ SET channel SECUREFOUNDER {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables the secure founder option for a channel. When secure founder is set, only the real founder will be able to drop the channel, change its password, its founder and its successor, and not those who are IDENTIFY'd with ChanServ.
SET SIGNKICK
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ SET channel SIGNKICK {ON | LEVEL | OFF}
Enables or disables signed kicks for a channel. When SIGNKICK is set, kicks issued with ChanServ KICK command will have the nick that used the command in their reason.
If you use LEVEL, those who have a level that is superior or equal to the SIGNKICK level on the channel won't have their kicks signed. See /msg ChanServ HELP LEVELS for more information.
SET XOP
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ SET channel XOP {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables the xOP lists system for a channel. When XOP is set, you have to use the AOP/SOP/VOP commands in order to give channel privileges to users, else you have to use the ACCESS command.
Technical Note: when you switch from access list to xOP lists system, your level definitions and user levels will be changed, so you won't find the same values if you switch back to access system!
You should also check that your users are in the good xOP list after the switch from access to xOP lists, because the guess is not always perfect... in fact, it is not recommended to use the xOP lists if you changed level definitions with the LEVELS command.
Switching from xOP lists system to access list system causes no problem though.
SET OPNOTICE
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ SET channel OPNOTICE {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables the op-notice option for a channel. When op-notice is set, ChanServ will send a notice to the channel whenever the OP or DEOP commands are used for a user in the channel.
AOP
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ AOP channel ADD nick
AOP channel DEL {nick | entry-num | list}
AOP channel LIST [mask | list]
AOP channel CLEAR
Maintains the AOP (AutoOP) list for a channel. The AOP list gives users the right to be auto-opped on your channel, to unban or invite themselves if needed, to have their greet message showed on join, and so on.
The AOP ADD command adds the given nickname to the AOP list.
The AOP DEL command removes the given nick from the AOP list. If a list of entry numbers is given, those entries are deleted. (See the example for LIST below.)
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:
AOP #channel LIST 2-5,7-9
Lists AOP entries numbered 2 through 5 and
7 through 9.
The AOP CLEAR command clears all entries of the AOP list.
The AOP ADD and AOP DEL commands are limited to SOPs or above, while the AOP CLEAR command can only be used by the channel founder. However, any user on the AOP list may use the AOP LIST command.
This command may have been disabled for your channel, and in that case you need to use the access list. See /msg ChanServ HELP ACCESS for information about the access list, and /msg ChanServ HELP SET XOP to know how to toggle between the access list and xOP list systems.
HOP
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ HOP channel ADD nick
HOP channel DEL {nick | entry-num | list}
HOP channel LIST [mask | list]
HOP channel CLEAR
Maintains the HOP (HalfOP) list for a channel. The HOP list gives users the right to be auto-halfopped on your channel.
The HOP ADD command adds the given nickname to the HOP list.
The HOP DEL command removes the given nick from the HOP list. If a list of entry numbers is given, those entries are deleted. (See the example for LIST below.)
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:
HOP #channel LIST 2-5,7-9
Lists HOP entries numbered 2 through 5 and
7 through 9.
The HOP CLEAR command clears all entries of the HOP list.
The HOP ADD, HOP DEL and HOP LIST commands are limited to AOPs or above, while the HOP CLEAR command can only be used by the channel founder.
This command may have been disabled for your channel, and in that case you need to use the access list. See /msg ChanServ HELP ACCESS for information about the access list, and /msg ChanServ HELP SET XOP to know how to toggle between the access list and xOP list systems.
SOP
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ SOP channel ADD nick
SOP channel DEL {nick | entry-num | list}
SOP channel LIST [mask | list]
SOP channel CLEAR
Maintains the SOP (SuperOP) list for a channel. The SOP list gives users all rights given by the AOP list, and adds those needed to use the AutoKick and the BadWords lists, to send and read channel memos, and so on.
The SOP ADD command adds the given nickname to the SOP list.
The SOP DEL command removes the given nick from the SOP list. If a list of entry numbers is given, those entries are deleted. (See the example for LIST below.)
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:
SOP #channel LIST 2-5,7-9
Lists AOP entries numbered 2 through 5 and
7 through 9.
The SOP CLEAR command clears all entries of the SOP list.
The SOP ADD, SOP DEL and SOP CLEAR commands are limited to the channel founder. However, any user on the AOP list may use the SOP LIST command.
This command may have been disabled for your channel, and in that case you need to use the access list. See /msg ChanServ HELP ACCESS for information about the access list, and /msg ChanServ HELP SET XOP to know how to toggle between the access list and xOP list systems.
VOP
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ VOP channel ADD nick
VOP channel DEL {nick | entry-num | list}
VOP channel LIST [mask | list]
VOP channel CLEAR
Maintains the VOP (VOicePeople) list for a channel. The VOP list allows users to be auto-voiced and to voice themselves if they aren't.
The VOP ADD command adds the given nickname to the VOP list.
The VOP DEL command removes the given nick from the VOP list. If a list of entry numbers is given, those entries are deleted. (See the example for LIST below.)
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:
VOP #channel LIST 2-5,7-9
Lists VOP entries numbered 2 through 5 and
7 through 9.
The VOP CLEAR command clears all entries of the VOP list.
The VOP ADD, VOP DEL and VOP LIST commands are limited to AOPs or above, while the VOP CLEAR command can only be used by the channel founder.
This command may have been disabled for your channel, and in that case you need to use the access list. See /msg ChanServ HELP ACCESS for information about the access list, and /msg ChanServ HELP SET XOP to know how to toggle between the access list and xOP list systems.
ACCESS
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ ACCESS channel ADD nick level
ACCESS channel DEL {nick | entry-num | list}
ACCESS channel LIST [mask | list]
ACCESS channel CLEAR
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 nick 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 nick 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:
ACCESS #channel LIST 2-5,7-9
Lists access entries numbered 2 through 5 and
7 through 9.
The ACCESS CLEAR command clears all entries of the access list.
ACCESS LEVELS
User access levels
By default, the following access levels are defined:
Founder Full access to ChanServ functions; automatic . opping upon entering channel. Note . that only one person may have founder . status (it cannot be given using the . ACCESS command). 10 Access to AKICK command; automatic opping. 5 Automatic opping. 3 Automatic voicing. 0 No special privileges; can be opped by other . ops (unless secure-ops is set). <0 May not be opped.
These levels may be changed, or new ones added, using the LEVELS command; type /msg ChanServ HELP LEVELS for information.
AKICK
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ AKICK channel ADD mask [reason] AKICK channel STICK mask AKICK channel UNSTICK mask AKICK channel DEL mask AKICK channel LIST [mask] AKICK channel VIEW [mask] AKICK channel ENFORCE AKICK channel CLEAR
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 nick or usermask 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 STICK command permanently bans the given mask on the channel. If someone tries to remove the ban, ChanServ will automatically set it again. You can't use it for registered nicks.
The AKICK UNSTICK command cancels the effect of the AKICK STICK command, so you'll be able to unset the ban again on the channel.
The AKICK DEL command removes the given nick or 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.
The AKICK VIEW command is a more verbose version of AKICK LIST command.
The AKICK ENFORCE command causes ChanServ to enforce the current AKICK list by removing those users who match an AKICK mask.
The AKICK CLEAR command clears all entries of the akick list.
LEVELS
Syntax:
/msg ChanServ LEVELS channel SET type level
LEVELS channel {DIS | DISABLE} type
LEVELS channel LIST
LEVELS channel RESET
The LEVELS command allows fine control over the meaning of the numeric access levels used for channels. 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.)
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).
For a list of the features and functions whose levels can be set, see HELP LEVELS DESC.
INFO
