NickServ Set Options

SET channel option parameters
Allows the channel founder to set various channel options and other information. The founder must use the IDENTIFY command before using

Available options:

SET channel FOUNDER nick
Changes the founder of a channel. The new nickname must be a registered one.

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 (20), the channel will be dropped instead, just as if no successor had been set. The new nickname must be a registered one.

SET channel PASSWORD password
Sets the password used to identify as the founder of the channel.

SET channel DESC description
Sets the description for the channel, which shows up with the LIST and INFO commands.

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.

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.

SET channel ENTRYMSG message
Sets the message which will be sent via /notice to users when they enter the channel.

SET channel TOPIC topic
Causes ChanServ to set the channel topic to the one specified. This command is most useful in conjunction with SET TOPICLOCK.

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 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 SET TOPIC command.

SET channel MLOCK modes
Sets the mode-lock parameter for the channel. ChanServ allows you to define certain channel modes to be always on (or off). The modes that can be locked are i, k, l, m, n, p, s, and t; each of these modes can be locked on, locked off, or not locked. 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.

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 channel PRIVATE {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables the private option for a channel. When private is set, a /msg ChanServ LIST will not include the channel in any lists.

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 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 NickServ and IDENTIFY'd with their password will be given privileges on the channel as controlled by the access list.

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 channel LEAVEOPS {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables the leave ops option for a channel. When leave ops is set, ChanServ will leave server ops (+o for the first person in the channel) in place even if the user would not normally get auto-opped. The SECUREOPS option and AUTODEOP access level will still be enforced.
Notice: This can allow users to "steal" ops during a netsplit.

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.

SET channel ENFORCE {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables the enforce option for a channel. When enforce is set, ChanServ will enforce the auto-op and auto-voice levels for all users. For example, if a user with auto-op privileges is deopped, ChanServ will automatically op the user again, and ChanServ will also not allow the DEOP command to be used on that user.

SET channel JOIN {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables the ChanServ JOIN option for a channel. When ChanServ JOIN is set, ChanServ will join and stay in the channel until the last user leaves. ChanServ will then rejoin the channel the next time it is created.
