Channel Modes
A channel mode is a 'flag' that can be set on a channel.
| Flag | Information |
|---|---|
| +b [pattern] | Set a ban, based upon a pattern. The patterns follow standard 'glob' patterns |
| +h [nick] | Grants half-operator (%) status to [nick] |
| +i | Invite only. Users need to be invited (with /INVITE) to join the channel |
| +k [key] | Sets a password required to JOIN a channel |
| +l [limit] | Limits the maximum number of people on a channel |
| +m | Moderated channel. Users need to be +v (voice) or higher to talk |
| +n | No external messages. The user must be in the channel to talk |
| +o [nick] | Grants operator (@) status to [nick] |
| +p | Private. Hides the channel from a user's WHOIS reply |
| +s | Secret. Same as private, but also hides channel from /LIST |
| +t | Only channel operators & half-operators can change topic |
| +v | Grants voiced (+) status to [nick] |
