Optional IRC Security:

  • /msg nickserv set kill on - With protection on, if another user tries to take your nick, they will be given one minute to change to another nick, after which NickServ will forcibly change their nick. If you select QUICK, the user will be given only 20 seconds to change nicks instead of the usual 60.
  • /msg nickserv set secure on - With SECURE set, you must enter your password before you will be recognized as the owner of the nick, regardless of whether your address is on the access list. However, if you are on the access list, NickServ will not auto-kill you regardless of the setting of the KILL option.
  • /msg nickserv set private on - With PRIVATE set, your nickname will not appear in nickname lists generated with NickServ’s LIST command. (However, anyone who knows your nickname can still get information on it using the INFO command.)
  • /msg nickserv set hide quit on - Hides your quit messages from users.
  • /msg nickserv set hide email on - Hides your email address from users.
  • /msg nickserv set hide status on - Hides your servicess access status.
  • /msg nickserv set hide usermask on - Hides your user@host mask.

    Yeah, you’ll be suprised on how many people don’t know about this. Let’s hope this information gets more attention. And you haven’t used irc for 20 years check out some xdcc channels they are very active.

      I still love IRC and it is my go to place to look for books. I like to use Pidgin chat client since i got fed up of ever increasing timer on mIRC. https://www.pidgin.im/ is free and allows logging into multiple XMPP and IRC accounts simultaneously.
