US =========================== http://www.faqs.org/faqs/irc/undernet-faq/ IRC info The server quits ya with Excess Flood if you send more than 1024 bytes in 10 seconds. Pinging /ping nick The use of the term ping may mean several different things. If you go idle on a certain server for a while (not typing anything), then the server will start to ping you, to make sure you are still connected and you werent disconnected from the network somehow. Your IRC client will usually respond to this type of ping automatically. If the server does not receive a response ping, it will disconnect you. If you try /ctcp pinging a server, it will return a pong. The other meaning of ping is pinging a user or a channel by use of /ctcp ping or /cping . This will give you information on how lagged the target is. The /cp ing command will tell you the exact time that the target is lagged by, usually. CTCP /ctcp nick ping CTCP is a way of getting information about someone, their equipment, or their software. CTCP could be looked at as a way of querying someone. Below are some commonly used CTCPs: /ctcp ping -- will ping (see later) a person or channel /cping -- this is more advanced than /ctcp ping, because it will also return the time it took for the ping to be returned /ctcp version -- this will return the version of the I RC client the target is using, and in some cases their computer model /ctcp nger -- this may display some information on the target /ctcp time -- this will display the time it is in the targets time z one /join #name /list /trace /message nick content /help /JOIN (channel) /set help_path (path-to-helples MSG (nick) (msg) /LIST Lists all current irc channels, number of users, and topic. /NAMES Shows the nicknames of all users on each channel /JOIN Join the named channel. All non-commands you type will now go to everyone on that channel /MSG Sends a private message to the specied person. Only the specied nickname will see this message. /NICK Change your nickname /QUIT Exits irc. /HELP Gets help on all IRCII commands. /WHO Shows who is on a given channel, including nickname, user name and host, and realname. /WHOIS Shows the true indentity of someone Use this often to make sure you know who you are talking to, because nicknames are NOT owned so any number of people could use a nickname. /PART Lets you leave the specied channel. Sends a private message to the specied person. Only the specied /who or /whis or /whowas and (nick) either one than (Nick) /who *netcom.ca /who #channel /NICK Change your nickname /QUIT Exits irc. /HELP (topic) Gets help on all IRCII commands. /server irc.undernet.org should put you on undernet /sign irc help for a list of commands /WHO (channel) Shows who is on a given channel, including nickname, user name and host, and realname. nickname will see this message. /WHOIS (nick) Shows the true indentity of someone Use this often to make sure you know who you are talking to, because nicknames are NOT owned so any number of people could use a nickname. /PART (channel) Lets you leave the specied channel. /list -min 3 shows channels with at least 3 people on them. ~/.prole /umode gives user modes .umode #macintosh A channel name begins with a # or a & (# channels are global, & channels are restricted to the local server) \part #crl The command /who *yoursitename* or /who -host *yoursitename* should list people from the same site as yourself. (the asterisks (*) are needed) -v is no good when the channel is not +m s /who nickname-of-person or /whois nickname-of-person will give you further information about a particular nickname. A slightly more advanced command is /ctcp nick nger, which returns nger information on the given nickname. Once you know the user@host, you may even do /exec nger user@host which does the standard Unix nger. i channel is invite only /mode xxx +i to invite xxx k (key) adds join key (key) to the channel. Keys can added or removed (MODE (channel) -k (key)), but not changed. l (number) channel is limited, where (number) is the maximum number of users allowed m channel is moderated (only channel operators talk) n no MSGs to the channel are allowed from someone outside the channel o (nick) Makes (nick) a channel operator p channel is private s channel is secret. Note: On 2.8 servers you cannot set both +p and +s modes t topic limits, only the channel operators may change it v (nick) Gives someone a voice to talk on a moderated channel. -------- A + or - sign determines whether the specied mode should be added or deleted. If you supply * as channel name, modes will apply to your current channel. The second form of the MODE command allows you to ban somebody from a channel. This is done by specifying a string of the form nick!user@host. For example: type /server kill which basically sends a kill message to the users server /Part #jesus, /join #something_else Set your channel /mode #channelname +stin to keep strangers out. type /ood on will give protection against ooding. ------------------- To get a list of channels you may try the command /list mentioned earlier. You may also *limit* the listing by the use of optional arguments as follows: /quote list >3 - shows channels with at least 3 people on them /list #a* - shows channels whose names begin with the letter a. A channel name begins with a # or a & (# channels are global, & channels are restricted to the local server). To join a particular channel use: /join #channelname ===== /mode #MyChannel +b *!*@gus.* bans everybody from the channel who is on IRC from any machine whose name is gus. /mode #channel +b lists people banned on #channel /mode nick!*@ +b MODE #MyChannel +b *!merklin@* bans anybody whose user name is merklin. Isnt using *!*@*host.edu an effective way to ban someone from a channel? MODE #MyChannel +b jerk!tug@boat.edu bans the user tug@boat.edu from the channel whenever he is using the nickname jerk. If you are channel operator, you can list the bans in effect on a channel by: If you join a channel with a number, then a comma, then a zero, your client will choke, and kick you off all channels you are on. ---------------- /who*machine.host Isnt using *!*@*host.edu an effective way to ban someone from a : channel? [clip] Only if *host.edu = *ix.netcom.com +v is voice used in case a channel is moderated. A moderated channel allows ONLY ops and people with +v to write to the channel. All other only watch. only IRCops and admins can /kill and k/line /who /dcc chat /msg = to talk where is the nick you wanna talk to /dcc send nick lename /dcc get nick lename o IRC operator status. You may not turn this on with mode. To assert operator status, you must use OPER w Receive WALLOPS (messages directed at all operators. see WALLOPS. s Receive server notices. This includes KILL notices and notices about what is happening with links to the local server. i Render yourself invisible. This prevents you from being seen in WHO and WHOIS information, unless somebody species your exact nickname with WHOIS. You can do the same via the /me command. /me action will send the action to your current channel. For example, try /me dances. If you wish to send a private action to someone, rather than to the channel, use the /describe command. /describe nick action will send the action to the specied nickname. ========= !kick [reason] - kick nick !quick [reason] - 8 seconds ban nick (anti auto-rejoin) !banip [reason] - 1 hour ban on IP of nick ==== To close DCC chat /dcc close chat nickname /help dcc for similar questions. This message is often seen when you use an old client which is no longer compatible with the current series of IRC servers. To get rid of it, get the latest version of your client! A temporary solution is /query #channelname. ========== ircd.demon.co.uk 6666 irc.tuzvo.sk 6668 tiger.itc.univie.ac.at 6668 German server lists) are all available on my homepage at http://unixg.ubc.ca:780/~abbott/blues/irc.html ========= @op daimen %useradd ood -p ood shiznit /dcc send nameofperson nameofprogram /ping #nameofchannel to see delay /unash /ignore nameofperson /ignore nick all /ignore nickname none /ignore off to stop ignore If this is repeated, it reverses ignore(What I am told) /noig to reverse ignore command(Another opinion) !kick nameofperson comment %useradd wpaladin -p wpaladin mack daddy !protadd *!*roy@198.187.214.* /dcc send /dcc get setenv what does this do? /query name1,name2,xx messages will go to only these people until you type /query again. !baddadd *!*@*rutgers.edu 50 troublemaker when you have ops, you type /mode #channel -b bannedname@bannhost /mode #channel -b nick will unban somebody /mode #channel -o nick will deop somebody /mode #channel +o nick will op somebody !zapteq jako2 reason ban somebody !protadd *!*roy@198.187.214.* 100 /notify /ctcp Why should banning *!?am??@ho??na?e.?ost.?d? be any more effective than *!*lamer*@*host.edu As far as I can see, it just makes it harder to clear the ban list later. ====== /list makes fast scroll The standard ircII client (for UNIX) has an option called hold mode. To activate it, type: /set hold_mode on -- then you will be able to hit return after each screens worth of data. =========== Youre invisible if you see a +i next to your name. freezup Occasionally, you may suddenly get disconnected from the IRC network and nd yourself still logged in on IRC. In this case, you need to nd the orphaned process and kill it, so that you can regain your nickname. ========= One word. DONT. If you do not know what the command does, you should not try it. It is often the case that unscrupulous persons fool newcomers to IRC into typing cryptic commands. Some of these commands can affect the security of your account, and even your system as a whole. Never try the /exec command if you do not know what it does. Contact your server administrator if you were asked to execute a cryptic command (/admin will reveal the server admin), and get more information on what the command does. ------------ When you see this occuring, you should check up whether a server of the specied name actually exists. If it does, you should then try the numeric address of the server (e.g 129.15.22.33) rather than its symbolic one (e.g. Norman.OK.US.undernet.org). A good thumb rule is to note down the numeric addresses of your three favourite servers. Sometimes, you may for some reason not be able to connect on the standard irc port 6667. In that case, you may try alternate ports 7000 and 7777 via /server This list is also available via ftp at ftp://ftp.comco.com/pub/irc/server-list-current ========== End of IRC le END***************************************************************************
