View source for Channel Registration

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 

'''Note that any channel which is not used for 90 days (i.e. which no user on the channel's access list enters for that period of time) will be automatically dropped.'''

== ACCESS ==
Syntax:
 ACCESS #channel ADD mask level
 ACCESS #channel DEL {mask | entry-num | list}
 ACCESS #channel LIST [mask | list]
 ACCESS #channel VIEW [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. Any registered user not on the access list has a user level of 0, and any unregistered user has a user level of -1.

The ACCESS ADD command adds the given mask to the access list with the given user level; if the mask is already present on the list, its access level is changed to the level specified in the command.  The level specified may be a numerical level or the name of a privilege (eg AUTOOP). When a user joins the channel the access they receive is from the highest level entry in the access list. The given mask may also be a channel, which will use the access list from the other channel up to the given level.

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.) 
You may remove yourself from an access list, even if you do not have access to modify that list otherwise.

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 VIEW command displays the access list similar to ACCESS LIST but shows the creator and last used time.

The ACCESS CLEAR command clears all entries of the access list.

* User access levels can be seen by using the LEVELS command; type /msg ChanServ HELP LEVELS for information.


== AKICK ==
Syntax:
 AKICK #channel ADD {nick | mask} [reason]
 AKICK #channel DEL {nick | mask | entry-num | list}
 AKICK #channel LIST [mask | entry-num | list]
 AKICK #channel VIEW [mask | entry-num | list]
 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 "User has been banned from the channel". When akicking a registered nick the NickServ account will be added to the akick list instead of the mask. All users within that nickgroup will then be akicked.
  
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 the 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.


== AOP ==
Syntax:
 AOP #channel ADD mask
 AOP #channel DEL {mask | entry-num | list}
 AOP #channel LIST [mask | list]
 AOP #channel CLEAR

Maintains the AOP list for a channel. Users who match an access entry on the AOP list receive the following privileges:

* GREET, AUTOOP, GETKEY, HALFOP, INVITE, OPME, SAY, TOPIC

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.
Alternative methods of modifying channel access lists are available. 
* See /msg ChanServ HELP ACCESS for more information about the access list.
* See /msg ChanServ HELP FLAGS for more information about the flags system.


== BAN ==
Syntax:
 BAN #channel [+expiry] {nick | mask} [reason]

Bans a given nick or mask on a channel. An optional expiry may be given to cause services to remove the ban after a set amount of time.

By default, limited to AOPs or those with level 5 access and above on the channel. Channel founders may ban masks.


== CLONE ==
Syntax:
 CLONE #channel target [what]

Copies all settings, access, akicks, etc from channel to the target channel. If what is ACCESS, AKICK, BADWORDS, or LEVELS then only the respective settings are cloned. You must be the founder of channel and target.


== DEHALFOP ==
Syntax:
 DEHALFOP #channel [user]

Removes HALFOP status from the selected nick on a channel. If nick is not given, it will dehalfop you.

You must have the HALFOP(ME) privilege on the channel to use this command.


== DEOP ==
Syntax:
 DEOP #channel [user]

Removes OP status from the selected nick on a channel. If nick is not given, it will deop you.

You must have the OP(ME) privilege on the channel to use this command.


== DEVOICE ==
Syntax:
 DEVOICE #channel [user]

Removes VOICE status from the selected nick on a channel. If nick is not given, it will devoice you.

You must have the VOICE(ME) privilege on the channel to use this command.


== DOWN ==
Syntax:
 DOWN [#channel] [nick]

Removes a selected nicks status modes on a channel. If nick is omitted then your status is removed. If channel is omitted then your channel status is removed on every channel you are in.

== DROP ==
Syntax:
 DROP #channel #channel

Unregisters the specified channel.  Only Services Operators can drop a channel of which they are not the founder of.


== ENFORCE ==
Syntax:
 ENFORCE #channel what

Enforce various channel modes and set options. The channel option indicates what channel to enforce the modes and options on. The what option indicates what modes and options to enforce, and can be any of SECUREOPS, RESTRICTED, REGONLY, SSLONLY, BANS, or LIMIT.

Use SECUREOPS to enforce the SECUREOPS option, even if it is not enabled. Use RESTRICTED to enforce the RESTRICTED option, also if it's not enabled. Use REGONLY to kick all unregistered users from the channel. Use SSLONLY to kick all users not using a secure connection from the channel. BANS will enforce bans on the channel by kicking users affected by them, and LIMIT will kick users until the user count drops below the channel limit, if one is set.


== ENTRYMSG == 
Syntax:
 ENTRYMSG #channel ADD message
 ENTRYMSG #channel DEL num
 ENTRYMSG #channel LIST
 ENTRYMSG #channel CLEAR

Controls what messages will be sent to users when they join the channel.

The ENTRYMSG ADD command adds the given message to the list of messages shown to users when they join the channel.

The ENTRYMSG DEL command removes the specified message from the list of messages shown to users when they join the channel. You can remove a message by specifying its number which you can get by listing the messages as explained below.

The ENTRYMSG LIST command displays a listing of messages shown to users when they join the channel.

The ENTRYMSG CLEAR command clears all entries from the list of messages shown to users when they join the channel, effectively disabling entry messages.

Adding, deleting, or clearing entry messages requires the SET permission.


== FLAGS ==
Syntax: 
 FLAGS #channel [MODIFY] mask changes
 FLAGS #channel LIST [mask | +flags]
 FLAGS #channel CLEAR

FLAGS is another way to modify the channel access list, similar to the XOP and ACCESS methods.

The MODIFY command allows you to modify the access list. If the mask is not already on the access list it is added, then the changes are applied.
If the mask has no more flags, then the mask is removed from the access list.
Additionally, you may use +* or -* to add or remove all flags, respectively. You are only able to modify the access list if you have the proper permission on the channel, and even then you can only give other people access to the equivalent of what your access is.

The LIST command allows you to list existing entries on the channel access list.
If a mask is given, the mask is wildcard matched against all existing entries on the access list, and only those entries are returned. If a set of flags is given, only those on the access list with the specified flags are returned.

The CLEAR command clears the channel access list. This requires channel founder access.

The available flags are:
  A - Automatic protect upon join

== HOP == 
Syntax:
 HOP #channel ADD mask
 HOP #channel DEL {mask | entry-num | list}
 HOP #channel LIST [mask | list]
 HOP #channel CLEAR

Maintains the HOP list for a channel. Users who match an access entry on the HOP list receive the following privileges:

 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.
Alternative methods of modifying channel access lists are available. 
* See /msg ChanServ HELP ACCESS for more information about the access list.
* See /msg ChanServ HELP FLAGS for more information about the flags system.


== INFO ==
Syntax:
 INFO #channel

Lists information about the specified registered channel, including its founder, time of registration, last time used, and description. If the user issuing the command has the appropriate access for it, then the successor, last topic set, settings and expiration time will also be displayed when applicable.


== INVITE ==
Syntax:
 INVITE #channel [nick]

Tells ChanServ to invite you or an optionally specified nick into the given channel.

By default, limited to AOPs or those with level 5 access and above on the channel.


== KICK ==
Syntax:
 KICK #channel nick [reason]
 KICK #channel mask [reason]

Kicks a specified nick from a channel.

== LEVELS ==
Syntax:
 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 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, INCLUDING the founder (although, the founder can always reenable it). Use LEVELS SET founder to make a level founder only.

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.

For a list of the features and functions whose levels can be set, see HELP LEVELS DESC.

== LIST ==
Syntax:
 LIST pattern [SUSPENDED] [NOEXPIRE]

Lists all registered channels matching the given pattern. Channels with the PRIVATE option set will only be displayed to Services Operators with the proper access.
Channels with the NOEXPIRE option set will have a ! prefixed to the channel for Services Operators to see.

Note that a preceding '#' specifies a range, channel names are to be written without '#'.

If the SUSPENDED or NOEXPIRE options are given, only channels which, respectively, are SUSPENDED or have the NOEXPIRE flag set will be displayed. If multiple options are given, all channels matching at least one option will be displayed. Note that these options are limited to Services Operators.

Examples:

 LIST *anope*
Lists all registered channels with anope in their names (case insensitive).

 LIST * NOEXPIRE
Lists all registered channels which have been set to not expire.

 LIST #51-100
Lists all registered channels within the given range (51-100).

Regex matches are also supported using the regex/pcre engine.
Enclose your pattern in // if this is desired.


== LOG ==
Syntax:
 LOG #channel
 LOG #channel command method [status]

The LOG command allows users to configure logging settings for their channel. If no parameters are given this command lists the current logging methods in place for this channel.

Otherwise, command must be a command name, and method is one of the following logging methods:

 MESSAGE [status], NOTICE [status], MEMO

Which are used to message, notice, and memo the channel respectively.
With MESSAGE or NOTICE you must have a service bot assigned to and joined to your channel. Status may be a channel status such as @ or +.

To remove a logging method use the same syntax as you would to add it.


Example:
 LOG #anope chanserv/access MESSAGE @
Would message any channel operators whenever someone used the ACCESS command on ChanServ on the channel.

== MODE ==
Syntax:
 MODE #channel LOCK {ADD|DEL|SET|LIST} [what]
 MODE #channel SET modes
 MODE #channel CLEAR [what]

Mainly controls mode locks and mode access (which is different from channel access) on a channel.

The MODE LOCK command allows you to add, delete, and view mode locks on a channel.
If a mode is locked on or off, services will not allow that mode to be changed. The SET command will clear all existing mode locks and set the new one given, while ADD and DEL modify the existing mode lock.
Example:
 MODE #channel LOCK ADD +bmnt *!*@*aol*

The MODE SET command allows you to set modes through services. Wildcards * and ? may be given as parameters for list and status modes.
Example:
 MODE #channel SET +v *
Sets voice status to all users in the channel.

 MODE #channel SET -b ~c:*
Clears all extended bans that start with ~c:

The MODE CLEAR command is an easy way to clear modes on a channel. what may be any mode name. Examples include bans, excepts, invite overrides, ops, halfops, and voices. If what is not given then all basic modes are removed.


== OP ==
Syntax:
 OP #channel [user]

Gives OP status to the selected nick on a channel. If nick is not given, it will op you.

You must have the OP(ME) privilege on the channel to use this command.


== QUIET ==
Syntax:
 QUIET #channel [+expiry] {nick | mask} [reason]

Bans a given nick or mask on a channel. An optional expiry may be given to cause services to remove the ban after a set amount of time.

By default, limited to AOPs or those with level 5 access and above on the channel. Channel founders may ban masks


== REGISTER ==
Syntax:
 REGISTER #channel [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 description, which is optional, 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.


== SET ==
Syntax:
 SET option #channel parameters

Allows the channel founder to set various channel options and other information.

Available options:
 SET AUTOOP     Should services automatically give status to users
 SET BANTYPE    Set how Services make bans on the channel
 SET DESCRIPTION Set the channel description
 SET EMAIL      Associate an E-mail address with the channel
 SET FOUNDER    Set the founder of a channel
 SET KEEPMODES  Retain modes when channel is not in use

=== SET PERSIST ===
Syntax:
 SET PERSIST #channel {ON | OFF}
 
Enables or disables the persistent channel setting.
When persistent is set, the service bot will remain in the channel when it has emptied of users.
 
If your IRCd does not have a permanent (persistent) channel mode you must have a service bot in your channel to set persist on, and it can not be unassigned while persist is on.
 
If this network does not have BotServ enabled and does not have a permanent channel mode, ChanServ will join your channel when you set persist on (and leave when it has been set off).
 
If your IRCd has a permanent (persistent) channel mode and it is set or unset (for any reason, including MODE LOCK), persist is automatically set and unset for the channel as well.
Additionally, services will set or unset this mode when you set persist on or off.

Enables or disables signed kicks for a channel.  When SIGNKICK is set, kicks issued with the 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.


=== SET SUCCESSOR ===
Syntax:
 SET SUCCESSOR channel [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. The successor's nickname must be a registered one. If there's no successor set, then the first nickname on the access list (with the highest access, if applicable) will become the new founder, but if the access list is empty, the channel will be dropped.
 
Note, however, if the successor already has too many channels registered (30), they will not be able to become the new founder and it will be as if the channel had no successor set.
