How to ignore someone using silence command ?

Wed, 27 Nov 2013 15:34:28 +0000

/silence [+|-]<hostmask|nickname> [p|c|i|n|t|a|x]

The following meanings of each flag:

    p = Block private PRIVMSG
    c = Block public PRIVMSG (to a channel)
    i = Block INVITE
    n = Block private NOTICE
    t = Block public NOTICE (to a channel)
    a = Block all the above types
    x = Exception.

Example:

If you want to ignore someone from Private with nickname Histen

/silence +Histen p

If you want to ignore Histen IP from your [b]Private[/b] lets say as he keep changing the nick and bug you over so for example his IP is [b]FA0226.ACF033.D0C64D.9730CE

/silence +*!*@FA0226.ACF033.D0C64D.9730CE p

Please Note:

If you want to remove someone from the silence just replace the + with -
To get you silence list command used is just /silence and you shall get the info in your status page.
If some people wonder how to get others IP you just use /whois nickname and his IP with the rooms he in will appear in your status.

Answered: how do you become an Op?

Tue, 25 Jun 2013 11:58:17 +0000

If you are interested in becoming a ChanOp for the ircqnet-administered channels, you need to submit an application through the helpdesk at http://chanops.org/helpdesk

Read the "How to be a ChanOp" information (you may want to copy this to notepad or move it to another window), then click on Submit a Ticket. When this window opens, fill in your information and then choose from the Category drop-down list either ChanOp Applications or OpHelper Applications, whichever applies.

Put in your subject and message (following the guidelines from the "How to be a ChanOp" information). You don't need to attach anything if you're putting in an application, answer the "SPAM Prevention: Random Question:" and type in the numbers you see as indicated.

Check your information then click the "Submit Ticket" button.

Usually you will recieve an acknowledgement of your application within 12 hours. We review the applications about every 4 months or so. We can only accept a limited number of new ops at a time, so if you are not rejected nor accepted then your application remains available for review indefinitely until you are accepted or rejected. There is no guarantee on how long before you might receive an acceptance. IF your application is accepted, you will receive a response on your application ticket and a memo through the chat network, informing you of what steps you need to take next.

Good Luck.

Answered: How to change font color in chat

Fri, 08 Mar 2013 12:51:40 +0000

It depends on what client you use.

In most irc clients, you can use colors by typing ctrl +k , for bold ctrl + b, for underline ctrl +u

In the icq flash chat client on www.icq.com you have to do color on the site: hit and hold ALT then press 03 on the number pad on the right, then let go, and type: for white - 1 for black - 2 for dark blue - 3 for dark green - 4 for red - 5 for brown - 6 for purple - 7 for orange - 8 for yellow - 9 for bright green - 10 for teal - 11 for bright blue - 12 for blue - 13 for pink - 14 for dark grey - 15 for light grey. Also in stead of 003 you can type 002 = bold and 031 = underline.

Answered: What is the exact role of a BotOp?

Sat, 04 Aug 2012 05:52:09 +0000

Answered: What exactly is IRC?

Sat, 12 Nov 2011 11:03:26 +0000

Further information:

IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. This is the protocol (type of system or set of procedures) used to run most internet chat sites. It allows for the "back and forth" type of "realtime" discussions between people in a chat room situation.

The term "IRC" is usually used to refer to chat networks in general. In the case of the ICQ chat network, the actual Name of the chat network is IrCQnet.

("ICQ" is actually the instant messenger program, and is not the same as the IrCQnet chat network. Although the IrCQnet chat network is featured on the ICQ website and can be accessed from there, the chat network is a separate entity.)

Answered: How do you get unbanned when the ban stops you from

Wed, 28 Sep 2011 14:57:17 +0000

1. Leave a private msg for any ircop or all ircops with the real ip and when we are online we will remove the gline.

2. mail ircops@chanops.org

3. speak to any op in the channels and ask them to pass the info to an ircop.

4. soon we will have public forums where you will be able to private msg an ircop with the ip if yur wrongly banned

Answered: What is Cloak ?

Mon, 29 Aug 2011 05:49:06 +0000

IRC hostmask cloak replaces the display of your IP address or host name with a cloak

an example would be

libra-away is connecting from happy@72.34.178.32 <is how an uncloaked host would look

when it is cloaked it would look like this > libra-away is happy@2B0381.CA26FF.1EBC87.347CDB <

Hence hiding your real ip from anyone who does a /whois on you. Most networks have cloaking automatically as you join it but some you need to request a hostmask.

Answered: What is IRC Hostmask ?

Mon, 29 Aug 2011 05:41:01 +0000

A full IRC hostmask contains the nick, ident and an IP, they are separated by an exclamation mark (!) and an at (@).
The exclamation mark separates the nick from the ident (nick!ident), the at separates the ident from the IP (nick!ident@IPaddress).
The separators are always used in a ban and they always stay on the same place, the nick/ident separator ! on the left, the ident/IP separator @ on the right.

A full hostmask looks like this: nick!ident@IPaddress

What is Chat Etiquette?

Thu, 23 Jun 2011 16:49:44 +0000

You aren't talking to other computers; you are talking to real, live people with feelings, moods, and interests who happen to be communicating via computers.
Remember that not everyone is chatting in one room only.
Picture yourself entering into a group of people from all over the world, with varying ages and backgrounds, and act accordingly. You might greet the group, you might watch quietly at first from the sidelines to determine the tone of the group. After watching for a few minutes, you may find that this isn't the kind of group you like.... and that's ok. There are plenty of other groups you can choose from; just leave as politely as you arrived.
n the same time zone you are, and that your native language may not be the primary language of everyone in the chatroom.
Don't worry about correcting typos . They are expected, and can actually be a GREAT source of laughter for everyone (be sure you share in the laughter).
Flirting is fine when you are with an appropriate group. Outright sexual comments and/or requests are NOT ok unless in a room designed for such.
As in real life, some people will be rude or offensive. Humour works better at diffusing potential problems than anger does. Ignoring them works even better. Anger on-line is a waste of energy.
Most chatters are nice. Ask if you have questions( and watch for their replies)
It is very helpful to address your comments (in typing) to the specific recipient if there is one. For example: Gemini<or whatever the chatter's nickname is>, where did you say you were from?"
It's perfectly ok to shorten somebody's chatting nickname when you're "talking" to them. but a little tip is type the first letter or 2 letters of their nick and hit the "tab" key this will complete the nick for you if you are on a client like mirc
Ignore all those stories about masquerading as someone else on line... and just be yourself! You'll have a great deal more fun, find better friends, and not irritate the heck out of people when you're "found out" (which you will be eventually - trust me. Experienced chatters can almost always sense "fakes")
Just remeber chatrooms are for fun and laughs and supposed to relieve tension not to come into and start arguing and fighting with ppl you want to do that turn yur computer off and go outside and play ;D
Offensive, racist, harassing behavior including personal attacks and/or threats.
In most general chatrooms, this type of behaviour will result in your being removed from the chat, for a short time or indefinitely
Typing in all CAPITAL LETTERS. This is considered "yelling" and rude.
Chat in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS is difficult to read, and makes the screen scroll too fast.
There is no quicker way to announce that you're a NEWBIE CHATTER than to use all capital letters!
Rudeness. Play nice, and remember that one of the chatters may be your next door neighbour!
Whining that no one will "talk" to you.
If you are interesting and join in the conversation, you will be included.
The same concept applies to complaints that the room or the chatters are "boring".
Posing as another chatter. Duplication of common nicknames occur.. but the deliberate act of being an imposter is considered... well... almost a violation of privacy. Don't do it.
Just as you meet people in the real world, you can make friends in the virtual world. Some people have even met their future husbands and wives through chat, but there are a few things you should be aware of. People can, and do, pretend to be anything they want on the Internet, so you have no real guarantees that your cyberfriend is who they say they are. You're gorgeous hunk of A 21yr old b/f may just turn out to be a 60 yr old :) (Read the poem on the front page it says it all }
Dealing with Offensive Chatters, People tend to be a lot braver online than in person and a lot braver can mean being more aggressive or just stupid. If you have a disagreement with someone or someone has just picked you out of the crowd and decided you are "Todays plaything" do the sensible thing and use the /ignore nick feature, its why its there and its the best way . If you retaliate its exactly what they want someone who "bites" if you dont then they get bored and stop.If the room is being moderated by a chanop they will put a stop to it let the brave person take the ban for being an idiot dont fight back and end up banned yourself.
