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 priviliges. Available commands are listed below; to use them, type /cs command. For more information on a specific command, type /cs HELP command.

ChanSERV's commands include:

REGISTER - Register a channel
IDENTIFY - Identify yourself with your password
SET - Set channel options and information
AOP - Modify the list of AOP users
SOP - Modify the list of SOP users
ACCESS - Modify the list of privileged users
LEVELS - Redefine the meanings of access levels
AKICK - Maintain the AutoKick list
DROP - Cancel the registration of a channel
SENDPASS - Help retrive lost passwords

Other commands: BAN, CLEAR, DEOP, DEVOICE, GETKEY, INFO, INVITE, KICK, LIST, LOGOUT, OP, TOPIC, UNBAN, VOICE, VOP

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: /cs 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 (/cs 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, /cs HELP for information on how to do so.

IDENTIFY
Syntax: /cs 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: /cs LOGOUT channel nickname

This command makes the selected nickname not identified anymore for the given channel. If you are the founder of the channel, you can log out anybody, else you can only log out yourself.

DROP
Syntax: /cs DROP channel

Unregisters the named channel. Can only be used by channel founder, who must use the IDENTIFY command first.

SET
Syntax: /cs SET channel option parameters

Allows the channel founder to set various channel options and other information. Options can be any of the ones listed below, also a more detailed description of each is slightly farther down the page: 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 /cs HELP option for more information on a particular option.

SET FOUNDER
Syntax: /cs SET channel FOUNDER nick

Changes the founder's nickname of the desired channel. The new nickname must be one that is registered with services prior to setting this command.

SET SUCCESSOR
Syntax: /cs 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: /cs SET channel PASSWORD password

Sets the password used to identify as the founder of the channel. It is advisable to change your channel password at least once every 90 days for security reasons.

SET DESC
Syntax: /cs SET channel DESC description

Sets the description for the channel, which shows up with the LIST and INFO commands. Please note: any description we find that is annouying, volgar, or such, will be changed and locked.

SET URL
Syntax: /cs 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: /cs 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: /cs 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: /cs 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: /cs 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: /cs 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: /cs 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: /cs 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: /cs SET channel PRIVATE ON/OFF

Enables or disables the private option for a channel. When private is set, a /cs LIST will not include the channel in any lists.

SET RESTRICTED
Syntax: /cs 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: /cs 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: /cs 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: /cs 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: /cs 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 /cs HELP LEVELS for more information.

SET XOP
Syntax: /cs 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: /cs 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: /cs AOP channel ADD nick
Syntax: /cs AOP channel DEL nick/entry-num/list
Syntax: /cs AOP channel LIST mask/list
Syntax: /cs 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. AOP ADD command - Adds the given nickname to the AOP list. 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.) 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 /cs HELP ACCESS for information about the access list, and /cs HELP SET XOP to know how to toggle between the access list and xOP list systems.

HOP
Syntax: /cs HOP channel ADD nick
Syntax: /cs HOP channel DEL nick/entry-num/list
Syntax: /cs HOP channel LIST mask/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 /cs HELP SET XOP to know how to toggle between the access list and xOP list systems.

SOP
Syntax: /cs SOP channel ADD nick
Syntax: /cs SOP channel DEL nick/entry-num/list
Syntax: /cs SOP channel LIST mask/list
Syntax: /cs SOP channel CLEAR

SOP ADD - Command adds the given nickname to the SOP list. 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.) 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 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 /cs HELP ACCESS for information about the access list, and /cs HELP SET XOP to know how to toggle between the access list and xOP list systems.

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.) 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 AOP entries numbered 2 through 5 and 7 through 9 VOP CLEAR - Command clears all entries of the SOP list. The VOP ADD, VOP DEL and VOP CLEAR commands are limited to the channel founder. However, any user on the AOP list may use the VOP LIST command. This command may have been disabled for your channel, and in that case you need to use the access list.

ACCESS
Syntax: /cs ACCESS channel ADD nick level
Syntax: /cs ACCESS channel DEL nick/entry-num/list
Syntax: /cs ACCESS channel LIST mask/list
Syntax: /cs 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; /cs HELP ACCESS LEVELS for more specific information. Any nick not on the access list has a user level of 0. 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. 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.) 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. 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). Less than 0 - May not be opped. These levels may be changed, or new ones added, using the LEVELS command; type /cs HELP LEVELS for information.

AKICK

Syntax: /cs AKICK channel DEL mask
Syntax: /cs AKICK channel LIST mask
Syntax: /cs AKICK channel VIEW mask
Syntax: /cs AKICK channel ENFORCE
Syntax: /cs 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. 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". 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. AKICK UNSTICK - Command cancels the effect of the AKICK STICK command, so you'll be able to unset the ban again on the channel. 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. AKICK LIST - Command displays the AutoKick list, or optionally only those AutoKick entries which match the given mask. AKICK VIEW - Command is a more verbose version of AKICK LIST command. AKICK ENFORCE - Command causes ChanSERV to enforce the current AKICK list by removing those users who match an AKICK mask. AKICK CLEAR - Command clears all entries of the akick list.

LEVELS
Syntax: /cs LEVELS channel SET type level
Syntax: /cs LEVELS channel DIS/DISABLE type
Syntax: /cs LEVELS channel LIST
Syntax: /cs 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 - 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).
