NOTE:

• Parameters enclosed in <>'s are mandatory.
• Parameters enclosed in []'s are optional.
• x|y means x or y.
• <nick> refers to a person's IRC nickname that they are online with.
• <username> refers to a person's username as it appears in the userlist; not to be confused with <nick>. For more information about usernames and how to determine a person's username, refer to the VERIFY and INFO commands (level 0).
• All commands shown with the <username> field can also work by specifying a user's IRC nickname that they are online with by preceding their nickname with an equal (=) sign. For example, consider a person with the nickname ^[Test]^ and username Test. The ACCESS command can be performed on this user in either of these 2 methods:
  • /msg W access <#channel> Test
  • /msg W access <#channel> =^[Test]^
  
  The 1st method directly queries W as to whether or not the username "Test" is in the userlist. The 2nd method makes W lookup ^[Test]^'s username if they are authenticated, which refer's to their username of "Test". This can be performed with any command that requires a <username>, but will only work if the user is authenticated, otherwise a "No Match" reply or equivalent will be returned.

LEVEL 500 Commands : Channel Manager

• PART
  Makes W leave your channel.
  /msg W part <#channel>
• REMOVEALL
  Purges everyone from the userlist except the level 500.
  /msg W removeall <#channel>
• SET
  Changes special W modes for channels.
  /msg W set <#channel> <variable> <value>
  
  * Variables and Values:
  • AUTOJOIN
    When the flag is set ON, it makes W always join your channel. When the flag is OFF, it will make it part if it's on the channel, and not re-join after a netsplit.
    /msg W set <#channel> autojoin <on|off>
  • MASSDEOPPRO
    The maximum number of deops W will allow in a 15 sec period. Any user exceeding this will be kicked, suspended (if on the userlist) and a level 25 ban placed on them to prevent ops. The suspend and ban time is 5 minutes. When setting the MASSDEOPPRO, value can be set from 1, which is the most sensitive, to 7, which is least sensitive. A value of 0 turns off the option.
    /msg W set <#channel> massdeoppro <0-7>
  • NOOP
    This means that nobody may be a channel operator except W. This does not mean you don't have control of W or the channel. If you are authenticated, you can issue commands like KICK, BAN, etc. through W, you just can't be opped yourself.
    /msg W set <#channel> noop <on|off>
  • STRICTOP
    This allows only Level 100+ users who are authenticated to be opped.
    /msg W set <#channel> strictop <on|off>
  • OPERVOICE
    This allows IRC Operators to get automatically voiced when they join the channel.
    /msg W set <#channel> opervoice <on|off>

LEVELS 450-499 : Trusted Channel Admin.

• JOIN
  Makes W join your channel.
  /msg W join <#channel>
• SET
  Changes special W modes for channels.
  /msg W set <#channel> <variable> <value>
  
  * Variables and Values:
  • AUTOTOPIC
    This flag makes W reset the topic to the channel DESCRIPTION and URL every 30 minutes. Note that if the channel is idle, the topic will not be reset during that time.
    /msg W set <#channel> autotopic <on|off>
  • DESCRIPTION/DESC
    Sets the default channel topic (maximum of 80 characters). This does NOT affect the actual channel topic, unless AUTOTOPIC is ON. The topic can be seen only by the CHANINFO command (level 0). If no description text is specified, the current description is reset.
    /msg W set <#channel> description <description>
  • FLOATLIM
    Sets the floating-limit feature on or off. If turned on, W will reset the channel limit within a preset margin above the number of users in the channel, and within a preset period of time. This aids in preventing large floodnets from joining and flooding the channel. By default, this feature is off. When turned on, the STATUS command will show the settings on the "Flags set:" line as follows: "FLOATLIM (MGN:3, PRD:20, GRC:1, MAX:0)." This means that FLOATLIM is on, with a FLOATMARGIN of 3, a FLOATPERIOD of 20 seconds, a FLOATGRACE of 1, and no FLOATMAX.
    /msg W set <#channel> floatlim <on|off>
  • FLOATGRACE
    Sets the floating-limit grace value to be used in the channel. This number can be between 0-19. This makes W avoid changing the limit if it will be smaller than the grace value. In other words, this is the value that corresponds to the number of extra users that join or part a channel before W changes the limit. As a result, W will not litter quiet channels with lots of mode changes. The default value is 1.
    /msg W set <#channel> floatgrace <0-19>
  • FLOATMARGIN
    Sets the floating-limit margin to be used in the channel. This number can be between 2-20. The limit that W resets will be: number of users in the channel + FLOATMARGIN. The default value is 3.
    /msg W set <#channel> floatmargin <2-20>
  • FLOATMAX
    Sets the maximum limit for the floating-limit setting. This can be any number desired, and will prevent W from changing the channel limit to a number higher than the chosen number. Thus, it is possible for a channel to limit how many users they want in a channel at any given time. The default value is 0, which turns the setting off.
    /msg W set <#channel> floatmax <0 | max limit desired>
  • FLOATPERIOD
    Sets the floating-limit period, in seconds, to be used before W resets the channel limit. This number must be between 20-200. The default value is 20 seconds.
    /msg W set <#channel> floatperiod <20-200>
  • KEYWORDS
    Sets keywords for your channel that will trigger on a SEARCH (level 0) of channels. If no keywords are specified, the current keywords are reset. The maximum string of keywords is 80 characters long.
    /msg W set <#channel> keywords [text]
  • MODE
    This will save the current channel modes as default. Whenever W joins the channel, it will reset those modes if any are not set at the time and it is alone in the channel.
    /msg W set <#channel> mode
  • URL
    You can state your channel's homepage address(es) with this option (maximum of 75 characters). Spaces are permitted, allowing multiple URL parameters to be specified. This does NOT affect the channel topic, unless AUTOTOPIC is ON (level 450). The DESCRIPTION and URL can be seen by using the CHANINFO command (level 0). If no url is specified, the current url is reset.
    /msg W set <#channel> url [url url2 ... urlN]
  • WELCOME
    You can state a channel's welcome notice in here which will be send to any user joining the channel. The maximum amount of characters is 256. If no welcome is specified the current welcome is reset.
    /msg W set <#channel> welcome [message]
  • USERFLAGS
    Determines whether or not OP or VOICE will automatically be set for AUTOMODE when a new user is added to the userlist. Default value is 0 (None). NOTE: Once a user is on the userlist, the MODINFO AUTOMODE command (level 400) can be issued to change the value for that individual alone.
    * Values:
    • 0 = No AutoMode set for all new users added.
    • 1 = Op AutoMode set for all new users added.
    • 2 = Voice AutoMode set for all new users added.
    • 3 = Smart AutoMode set depending on the access given.
    /msg W set <#channel> userflags <0-2>

LEVELS 400-449 : Userlist Admin

• ADDUSER
  Adds a user to the channel's userlist.
  NOTE: You cannot ADDUSER someone with equal or higher access than your own.
  /msg W adduser <#channel> <username> <access>
• CLEARMODE
  Clears all channel modes.
  Can be used when your channel has been locked up (set +i or +k without your knowledge).
  NOTE: This is not necessarily the best method to gain entry to your channel, because other people or bots may be opped in the channel that may reset the modes as you clear them. Refer to the STATUS command (level 200) for related information.
  /msg W clearmode <#channel>
• MODINFO
  Modify specific userflags in the channel's userlist.
  /msg W modinfo <#channel> <variable> <username> <value>
  * Variables for ModInfo:
  • ACCESS
    Changes the access level of a user. Access level can be set between 1 and one less than your own level (if you have an access level of 400, you may assign a level of up to 399 to other users). If you specify your own username, you can lower your access if wanted. However, this cannot be done by the level 500, for the rest this applies to ALL levels. Even if your level is below 400.
    /msg W modinfo <#channel> access <username> <new level>
  • AUTOMODE
    Changes the automode of a user to one the specified modes: NONE, OP, or VOICE. OP or VOICE will make W op or voice an authenticated user when they enter the channel. NONE will make W do nothing when an authenticated user enters the channel. If you specify your own username, you can toggle your own automodes depending on the level you have, if you have access to the OP command for example, you can toggle automode op, same for voice. Everyone can toggle automode NONE.
    /msg W modinfo <#channel> automode <username> <OP|VOICE|NONE>
• REMUSER
  Removes a user from the channel database.
  You must have higher access than the user you want to remove. You can also remove yourself from any channel, as long as you are not the channel manager (500 access level in that channel). managers wishing to remove themselves will need to purge their channel.
  /msg W remuser <#channel> <username>

LEVEL 200 : Userlist Op

• KICK
  Makes W kick all users matching the specified *!*user@*.host mask.
  Does not kick the person issuing the command if they match also. This should be a seldom used command. Use should be limited to extreme channel flooding or clones. You may want to set a ban on the mask, or +i (invite mode) on the channel before issuing the kick to prevent matching users from rejoining after being kicked.
  /msg W kick <#channel> <nick | *!*user@*.host> [reason]
• STATUS
  Display channel status
  Displays all special W settings, channel modes, the number of users and ops in the channel, currently authenticated users for the channel, and whether W is on the channel or not. Currently authenticated users are shown in a "username/nickname [level]" format. Users authenticated with multiple clients are shown in a "username/nickname1 nicknameN [level]" format. A user's nickname will only be shown if that user is currently on the channel, otherwise only their username and level are displayed. The ability to see channel modes is extremely helpful in case the channel is +k (keyed mode), since you can find out what the key is. This commands works regardless of whether W is on the channel or not.
  /msg W status <#channel>

LEVELS 100-399 : Channel Operator

LEVELS 75-99 : New Channel Operator

• BAN
  Adds a specific *!*user@*.host to the W banlist of your channel.
  You may place a ban on a nick if the person is online or ban their *!*user@*.host if the person is not online. Bans that cover a broader range than previously set bans will replace previous bans.

  /msg W lbanlist <username> <* | *!*user@*.host>
• LOGIN
  This loads your access listing into memory and authenticates you on ALL channels which you have access on simultaneously. You can login to your account more than once, using multiple clients/connections to the IRC server. The number of concurrent connections you can use depends on your MAXLOGINS setting. Whenever a new concurrent connection is established, W will send you a notice to let you know who it was and advise you to use the SUSPENDME command if that person is not you, meaning your account may have been compromised.
  /msg W@scarynet.org login <username> <password>
• MOTD
  Displays W's message of the day.

• NEWPASS
  This command can be used to change your password online. If you think this is unsecure, then go to http://cservice.scarynet.org/. Once you login to your account on the website, you can change your password by using the "New Password" link. If you have forgotten your password, or cannot login due to an invalid password, then you can get your password reset and emailed to you by using the "Forgotten Password" link on the website. If you still have problems getting your password changed or reset, please /join #CService and ask there.
  NOTE:
  • Passwords are case-sensitive. For example: "CService" is not "cservice".
  • Passwords can be more than one word long, allowing you to have a sentence or phrase as your password to increase the difficulty of it being discovered. We encourage you to take advantage of this feature. The maximum length is 50 characters. For example, a password can be: "Scarynet Channel Service".
  
  /msg W@scarynet.org newpass <new password>
• SEARCH
  Makes W list channels where the given search parameters match set keywords on the channel, if any. The use of wildcards are not required.
  /msg W search <search parameter>
• SET
  Changes a setting.
  /msg W set <variable> <value>
  Variables and Values:
  • GHOSTKILL
    This personal setting allows you to toggle the GHOST command to be usable with your account. If disabled, you cannot use GHOST in case you want to recover your nickname which is authenticated with your username.
    /msg w set ghostkill <on|off>
  • SECUREKILL
    This is an addition to the GHOSTKILL to make it more secure. If set, the ghosted client you want to kill has to be from the same host as the client issueing the GHOST command.
    /msg w set securekill <on|off>
  • INVISIBLE
    This is a personal setting that allows you to toggle the visibility of your username information, retrievable from the INFO command, to be visible or hidden. To learn more about the available information, refer to the INFO command (level 0).
    /msg w set invisible <on|off>
  • LANG
    Changes the language for W's replies to you. If a response has not been translated yet, W will reply in english.
    /msg W set lang <language code>
    Languages available:

    Code	Language		Code	Language		Code	FunLanguage
    ar	Arabic		ca	Catalan		ha	Haloween
    de	German		dk	Danish		lt	Leet
    en	English		es	Spanish		ea	Easter
    fr	French		hu	Hungarian		ch	Christmas
    it	Italian		nl	Dutch
    no	Norwegian		pt	Portuguese
    ro	Romanian		tr	Turkish
    gr	Greek		sv	Swedish

  • MAXLOGINS
    This personal setting lets you determine the allowed number of concurrent logins (authenticated uses) to your username (account). Thus, you could keep a client authenticated from home/work/school while also being able to use your account from elsewhere. Another possibility is to share the same account for yourself and your bot. Yet another example is that when you get disconnected, you can login immediately without waiting for your ghost to disconnect. By default, this is set to 1, and is not affected by simultaneously being authenticated on the website.
    /msg W set maxlogins <1-3>
  • NONOTES
    This personal setting lets you determine if you want to be able to receive notes from other authenticated users or not.
    /msg W set nonotes <on|off>
• SHOWCOMMANDS
  Shows all the commands you can use on a channel, according to your access level. If no channel is specified, then only the level 0 commands are shown.
  /msg W showcommands [#channel]
• SHOWIGNORE
  Shows W's ignore list.
  Ignores happen when someone intentionally or accidentally floods W. The time length is 60 minutes.
  /msg W showignore
• SUPPORT
  Confirm/Deny support.
  An alternate method allowing you to confirm or deny support for a channel application which you are listed as a supporter on. Upon authenticating, W will notify you of any channel applications that you are listed as a supporter on and will also notify you of this SUPPORT command. Alternatively, you can choose to view the application on the web to see more information about it, post an objection, and confirm or deny your support from there. The command will not be effective if you are not listed on a channel as a supporter, or a channel does not have a pending application on the web.
  /msg W support <#channel> <yes|no>
• SUSPENDME
  This command will globally suspend your account.
  Essentially making you have a level of 0 whenever you try to perform commands. The command will only work if at least two users are simultaneously authenticated on an account. You must send an email to Send email to request an unsuspension. Also, it would be a good idea to get your password reset from the website, prior to sending the email, so that once the suspension is lifted no one will be able to authenticate with your account using the compromised password.
  /msg W@scarynet.org suspendme <password>
• VERIFY
  Displays whether or not a person is logged in, and if so displays their username, and also indicates whether or not they are an Official CService Administrator or Representative, and/or an IRC Operator.
  /msg W verify <nick>
