Info

• Usage:

  /chanserv info (channel)

  NOTE: you do not need to use parentheses.

• Breakdown:
  • Channel
    Substitute the channel name, for example #dragonrealm here.

• Examples:

  Using this command on #dragonrealm:

  /chanserv info #dragonrealm

  Will provide you with:

  -ChanServ- *** Info on #dragonrealm
  -ChanServ- Founder : MirclMax (spike@voyager.abac.com)
  -ChanServ- Mode Lock : +nt-spk
  -ChanServ- Last Topic : Welcome to #dragonrealm, if you need an IRCop or CSop,
  speak up. For general help, try #help or #irchelp.
  -ChanServ- Description: DALnet Operator Channel
  -ChanServ- URL : http://www.dal.net
  -ChanServ- Options : "Sticky" Topics
  -ChanServ- Registered : Mon Jan 23 15:33:46 1995
  -ChanServ- Last opping: Sun Jul 7 19:22:12 1996
  -ChanServ- *** End of info
  

  The information will be different for every channel; some of these options you see won't be on every channel - it depends on what the founder sets.

• Extra Notes:

  This command can be used for a variety of things:

  • To see if a channel has been registered

    /chanserv info #abcxyz
    -ChanServ- Channel #abcxyz is not registered

    If it was registered you would get something similar to the information on #dragonrealm above.

  • To see if you have set things correctly
    You can check the web pages on the command you are using, and can see what that command will look like when completed correctly. Aside from that, as an example, you are trying to set your modes using mlock. After completing the command, you can check your channel using info and can see if the modes are set, as above: Mode Lock : +nt-spk
    It's a good way to check your work.

  • To find a channel's url
    More and more channels these days are creating their own web pages. If they have it listed, you can find it here.

  • To speak to a founder
    If you have a problem with a channel (you were banned, you want ops, anything of that nature) you can find out the founder's nick and address to either e-mail them or memo them.
