Server Notice Masks

Server notice masks (snomasks) are a method of filtering the messages sent to a server operator who has user mode s (snomask) enabled. They allow a server operator to only receive the messages that they care about.

Usage

To enable receiving server notices set user mode s (snomask) with the server notice masks you want as a parameter to the mode. For example, to see local and remote connections and quit notices, execute the following command:

/MODE YourNick +s +cCqQ

To disable receiving a specific type of server notice set user mode s (snomask) again but remove masks by sending a "negative" change. For example, to disable remote connection and quit notices, execute the following command:

/MODE YourNick +s -CQ

To disable all server notice masks simply remove user mode s (snomask) entirely:

/MODE YourNick -s

A list of the valid server notice masks and what they do is listed below.
