NOTE: These modes are all changed using the /mode nick mode change(s). The current nick mode settings can be retrieved by omitting the modes parameter completely.
NOTE: Also, normal users can only use modes i, w, s, k, and g (although g will not show anything if you are not an oper, you can still set the mode). The rest of the modes are oper-only (used only by IRCops).
o - Global Server Operator
[Oper only] In addition to the things listed below that a local operator can do, a global operator's scope includes the rest of the network. A global operator can do remote squits and connects or kill users on another server. They can also send global notices (/notice $*.dal.net message).
[Oper only] Like the Global operator above, this command endows the oper with server operator abilities. Specifically, being +O allows a local operator to: /rehash the server, do local kills, send GlobOps/WallOps/LocOps/ChatOps, do local squits and connects, set or unset local klines (temp), send local server notices (/notice $servername message), and see flood notices.
This mode allows a nick to hide from a /WHO or a /NAMES command. It also moves the nick from the visible users count to the invisible users count in the /LUSERS command. You can still be found if the user knows your nick.
This mode allows an oper to receive *** WallOps" messages from other opers. This is not used much on DALnet, mainly because it is an unsecure communication medium. WallOps are like ChatOps except that normal users who are +w can view them.
This mode allows a user to receive non-specific messages from the server. This mode is settable by all users.
[Oper only] This mode allows an oper to receive "*** Notice -- Client connecting (or exiting)" messages from the server.
This mode is set by NickServ on a nick. It indicates that the nick is registered with NickServ.
This mode allows an oper to receive "*** Notice -- Killed" messages from the server. This mode is settable by all users.
This mode allows an oper to receive "*** Notice -- Flood" messages from the server.
This mode allows opers to view requests for Stats information or Links information. Repeated attempts by the same user could indicate either a curious user or a malicious one planning mischief.
This mode allows troubleshooters to view debugging information messages sent out from the server online without having to go to the System Error Log (or the file they defined for it).
This mode allows the use of the SAMode command and puts a tag in the oper's /WHOIS reply " - Services Administrator".
This mode is only set by the Administrator of the server (or perhaps his Co-Administrator in his absence). It also puts a tag in the oper's /WHOIS reply " - Server Administrator". This automatically sets +a (handy if services goes away for some reason).
Like GlobOps, this is a network-wide means for opers to communicate with each other, though this means is less formal than GlobOps. It's used, like the name implies, to chat informally. Extended chat, however, should be taken to a channel so as not to flood everyone set +b with chat.
Although normal users can set +g, they will not receive any GlobOps. GlobOps are a network-wide means for opers to communicate with each other; the server itself sometimes sends them as well. These are normally used to send requests for help from other opers or status messages (such as before squitting a server to reroute it).
This mode allows an oper to receive "*** Routing -- from" messages from the server.
Allows an oper to hide themselves from a /stats p command.
Allows opers who have an S oper flag in their O:line to view IP addresses using /stats c.
Shows opers who are +e a notice of files successfully blocked at the server. This is to make it easy to see who is trying to send out virii or other harmful file types.
