Help:IRC

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Here's how to effectively use IRC:

Our IRC channels are #hrwiki and #hrwiki-RC. They can be accessed through web.libera.chat/#hrwiki, although it is recommended that you use an IRC client.

Contents 1 Contacting an operator 2 General Commands 3 NickServ 4 MemoServ

[edit] Contacting an operator

If there is flooding, spamming, or another form of vandalism going on in #hrwiki or #hrwiki-fanstuff, it's best to contact an operator as soon as possible, so he can deal with the offender. Operators are sysops that also help take care of our IRC channels.

[edit] General Commands

Message	Action
/join <channel name>	Opens a window connecting you to the specified channel.
/nick <nickname>	Changes your nickname to the new name specified in <nickname>
/msg <username> <message text>	Sends a private message to the user specified in <username>
/me <action>	Prints a message in the chat room that says you are performing the given action specified in <action>
/quit [<message>]	Closes your connection and exits your IRC client, optionally displaying <message> as you quit. The quit message may not display for some clients on Libera.chat.
/part [<channel>] [<message>] or /leave [<channel>] [<message>]	Causes you to leave only the channel you're in (in some IRC clients), or the channel specified with <channel>, with optional part message <message>.

[edit] NickServ

In some IRC clients, "/msg NickServ" can be shortened to "/ns". Some IRC network administrators recommend using "/ns" as it prevents malicious users from possibly obtaining passwords or other information in the case of an attack on an IRC network.

Message	Action
/msg NickServ GHOST <nickname> <password>	Reclaims use of a nickname.
/msg NickServ GROUP	Configures a "group" of nicknames all owned by and for use by you. These "groups" normally consist of variations of you main nickname. For example, one could have "NASA" and "NASA|Away" in a group.
/msg NickServ UNGROUP [nickname]	Removes a nickname from your group.
/msg NickServ IDENTIFY [nickname] <password>	Identifies to services for a nickname.

/msg NickServ DROP <nickname> <password>	Makes NickServ remove a nickname owned by you. If this nickname is a part of a group, this will not drop the group; only the nickname specified from the group.

/msg NickServ LOGOUT	Logs you out of the account that you are currently logged into.
/msg NickServ TAXONOMY <nickname>	Lists metadata information associated with registered users.

[edit] MemoServ

In some IRC clients, "/msg MemoServ" can be shortened to "/ms". Some IRC network administrators recommend using "/ms" as it prevents malicious users from possibly obtaining memos or other information in the case of an attack on an IRC network.
