Replying to Creating Irc Chat Room...

Issue with the Rizon bots...Creating Irc Chat Room...

Okay, so, I just started my own channel, and upon getting Protected Mode on for myself, the server bot I had in the room also got protected mode, now while this isn't exactly an issue(to my knowledge), I dislike the fact it has Protected Mode, is there anyway to prevent a server bot from having it, while retaining it myself?

-question by Jingles

thanks for the help Sarah81 and SilverFox, I found the 2 questions that I needed to be answered

mnjah a lot of IRC tutorials are in Internet,
try google.com

Bit old topic it seems but one of the newest in this board so I guess it's fine.

Feedbacker: looks like there isn't a lot you can do about that except get to know an IRCOP and have him do it for you (not a realistic scenario)

I don't recommend auto-opping people who join. Just Half OP (%/Access Level 4) or have a special servant who is protected op (&/Access level 10)

Don't be too stingy with op statuses, That doesn't mean you need a lot but don't be too stingy, ops are needed and if there are very few ops then things can get out of control.

Some other tips:

• Don't mlock -imr --> they can be useful at times when for instance a chanflood or any other attack is being done. Even in the beginning it's useful to have other ops especially in other parts of the word as they are on when you aren't so you have a longer op presence
• As op don't have anyone in the chan on your ignore list. --> This may be tempting at times but it's a killer, you need to be able to see what everyone is doing. Even as just normal users in a chan I don't recommend ignoring people unless it's really needed. It can be a pain in the ass how the conversation goes when there are ignores.
• Use the services well. --> Learn how to work with it and use the tools given. Learn modes etc. for a lot of servers that can be different.
• Don't think too big in the beginning. It takes a while to build up a chan, don't get impatient.
• Websites help. --> having a website that goes with your chan helps, especially if it's a chan for a certain topic. IRC chans are often used together with forums to for a community this will increase your user base.
• Don't go raging around and really being an active op (banning, trying to sort out every little argument in the chat) --> Most situations solve themselves being THE OP generally only makes the relationship between people worse and resulting in people leaving. You'll lose less people by stuff sorting itself out then by you trying to control everything.

There is more but that's the most important.

Registering
Creating Irc Chat Room...

I can't seem to register my chatroom and asks me to register at cservice but cservice is not accepting new users as of the moment.





Register it so you can leave it. /cs REGISTER #channel PASSWORD DESCRIPTION



-imanhorn

Ok type /msg ChanServ INFO #channel ALL
I don't know.

Register it so you can leave it. /cs REGISTER #channel PASSWORD DESCRIPTION

It uses the TOPIC set.

I don't know. It might be that SErvices setting.
Type /os mode #channel MODE
That's if you are super admin.
You cannot set that for your local channel unless you make a bot that does it when someone notices it with a certain word.
Probably but itd be using services.

I hope that helps. I help run a server FYI. I don't recommend auto-opping people who join. Just Half OP (%/Access Level 4) or have a special servant who is protected op (&/Access level 10)

What I said is for unrealIRCD 3.12, non-ssl installation.

Wow thanks guys that really helps me out also!

1. Is there a way to see a list of all the options (settings) for my channel? For example, the current modes set (voice, who can set topic, secret channel, etc.). This and others...(channel info, etc.).

Ok type /msg ChanServ INFO #channel ALL

2. How do I use the word filter? Any way to add them in groups instead of one by one?

I don't know.

3. For the mlock feature, is there any way we "append" to the permissions? Because it looks like if I forget to put all the mode settings, it will automatically reset to +r instead (and I don't want to configure everything only to make a mistake like that and have it reset everything). Also, do I have to use mlock in order to keep the mode settings? I tried using /mode but if I logout and come back to my channel all mode settings are reset to default again.

Register it so you can leave it. /cs REGISTER #channel PASSWORD DESCRIPTION

4. How do I add a description to the server for everyone to see (when they use /list)? Tried the desc already and seems to set only channel one (not in server list description).

It uses the TOPIC set.

5. Also, why can't I do some of the things (like /mode #my_channel) if I didn't join my channel yet? I registered it already though...

I don't know. It might be that SErvices setting.
Type /os mode #channel MODE
That's if you are super admin.

6. How do I add a rule/policy for my chatroom like I see when I first join a server?

You cannot set that for your local channel unless you make a bot that does it when someone notices it with a certain word.

7. Is there a way to hide the permission settings from regular members (like so and and so set +r for...)?

Probably but itd be using services.

I hope that helps. I help run a server FYI. I don't recommend auto-opping people who join. Just Half OP (%/Access Level 4) or have a special servant who is protected op (&/Access level 10)

OMG

Thank you

Thanks Sarah81. Actually have mIRC installed also Will read up more on their FAQs.

I will take a look at my current IRC program (IceChat) and also mIRC and see if I can find some of the solutions to the questions I have. Will post back if I'm still baffled by all of this

Just wanted to be sure I know what to do before I dove into the IRC world

Thanks again.
