Services

Maybe one day this will be more detailed, but the help functions work just as well.

NickServ

NickServ allows you to "register" a nickname and prevent others from using it. For more information and help type:

/msg nickserv help

ChanServ

ChanServ allows you to register and control various aspects of channels. ChanServ can often prevent malicious users from "taking over" channels by limiting who is allowed channel operator privileges. Any channel which is not used for two weeks, will automatically be cancelled. For more information and help type:

/msg chanserv help

MemoServ

MemoServ is a utility allowing IRC users to send short messages to other IRC users, whether they are online at the time or not, or to channels for anyone with auto-op access or higher. Both sender and recipient must have their nicknames registered with NickServ in order to send a memo, or if the recipient is a channel, it must be registered with ChanServ. For more information and help type:

/msg memoserv help

HelpServ

HelpServ is a utility to get help on commands from other service nicks. For more information and help type:

/msg helpserv help

HostServ

This allows users to turn on and off special host masks. It also allows users to request custom hostnames.

/msg hostserv help

BotServ

The BotServe service allows you to put a special version of ChanServ in your channel and name it however you like. This, however, is not allowed by most users.

/msg botserv help

OperServ

OperServ allows Operators/Administrators with access, to maintain control on the network.

Global

Global is a utility allowing IRC users to receive global messages from network administrators.
