InspIRCd v4 is still early in development!

If you use this branch you may experience crashes, weird behaviour, and unannounced breaking changes.

You probably want to use InspIRCd v3 instead.

User Modes

This page documents user modes. For channel modes see the channel mode page.

InspIRCd supports five types of mode:

Type Parameter when adding? Parameter when removing? Can be set multiple times? Description
Switch No No No Toggles the behaviour of a feature on a channel or user.
Parameter Yes No No Enables and configures the behaviour of a feature on a channel or user.
ParamBoth Yes Yes No The same as a Parameter mode only the parameter must be specified to remove it.
Prefix Yes; channel member nickname Yes; channel member nickname Yes; once per channel member Grants/revokes a status rank to the user specified in the parameter.
List Yes Yes Yes; up to the maximum list size Adds/removes entries from a list.
