irc:auditoriummode

2010-06-04T21:51:55+02:00

When a channel is set to auditorium mode with channel mode +u, the channel behaves in a way that allows regular users to join and watch the channel conversation without seeing or being seen by other channel users. Only the channel operators are visible. Combined with other channel modes like +m, it is possible to create a view-only channel suitable for applications like news tickers, announcements, etc.

irc:banned

2010-07-17T21:51:03+02:00

You might have been directed here from a connection refusal message when trying to connect to a BlabberNet server. This may be for a number of reasons: * Your IP address is blacklisted. * You're connecting with an open proxy. * Unacceptable behaviour. * Mistaken identity.

irc:capsblock

2010-06-04T23:02:48+02:00

Channel administrators can enable CAPS blocking by setting channel mode +B. When enabled messages with more than 70% of their content consisting of uppercase characters will be blocked. Example: *** mode/#blabber (+B) by Aragon SPEAKING IN CAPITALS IS CONSIDERED SHOUTING *** #blabber Your message cannot contain more than 70% capital letters if it's longer than 5 characters

irc:censoring

2010-07-11T23:22:16+02:00

On BlabberNet IRC there are various forms of censoring options available to users and channel administrators. Each is described below. Channel Censoring Both methods below can be used on their own, or together. Predefined (+G) By simply setting your channel mode to +G you can enable basic swear word censoring. This is quick and simple, but everything that is censored is determined by a global list of swear words maintained by BlabberNet staff. This list applies to all channels which use …

In addition to the standard RFC 1459 channel modes, BlabberNet supports a number of extra useful channel modes. Behavioural modes affect the general behaviour of channels. Channel access modes restrict access to the channel. Message filtering modes block or alter messages to the channel. Flood protection modes help mitigate abuse from flood bots or users.

BlabberNet uses Atheme Services. Its implementation of ChanServ is a little different to ChanServ in the past, so here's a brief introduction to get you up to speed. Flags There is no support for channel access levels. The system of access control is called “flags”. They accomplish the same task more elegantly. If you want to give a user access to your channel you simply assign flags to them, and the available flags and their permissions are as follows:

Prequisites Operating an IRC server requires technical knowledge in networking, Unix, and the IRC protocol itself. Other than that, you will need: * A Unix based server or virtual server. * A permanent connection with static IP address. * One IP address dedicated to IRC services, ie. not shared with web, mail, etc. services. * Git and other development tools. * Working NTP time synchronisation.

For many years BlabberNet has used Unreal IRCD and IRC Services to serve its IRC needs. While this all still works fine, IRC Services development has ceased and will soon loose security support too. Unreal IRCD is still well supported, but InspIRCD has made it a bit dated. BlabberNet is currently in a position of having a very small user base, so major upgrades and changes would presumably be ideal at this time.
