Memo Services
Services
are provided to make your IRC'ing life
more enjoyable. This file is to help
answer any questions you may have about
memo services. If you have questions
which are not answered in this document,
please join the help channel advertised
for your irc network.
Memoserv
is used to 'get messages to those that
are not on Dreamwave.' It is similar to
email, but the memo can only be accessed
while on IRC. MemoServ is a utility
which allows IRC users to send short
messages to other IRC users, whether
they are online at the time or not.
MemoServ will hold messages up to 14
days (or whatever your net has
specified). If this time expires, you
will never see the message in the memo
again (unless you logged it.)
Commands:
Note:
To use memoserv, your nickname must be
registered and you must have identified
to nickserv.
Some
of the Memoserv commands include:
Type /msg
memoserv help command for help on any of
the below commands. Remember '/ms'
is a recognised shortcut instead of
'/msg memoserv'.
Information
contained inside brackets <> are
items where YOU determine what should be
typed; for example, in the command /msg
memoserv send <nick>
<message>, you would substitute
the nick and message you have chosen. DO
NOT type the brackets <>.
Send:
/msg
memoserv send <nick>
<message>
For an example: /msg memoserv send Joe
hey!! sorry i missed you last night..
will you be on tonite?
This command sends a memo to another
user.
List:
/msg
memoserv list
This lists any memos you may have
Read:
/msg
memoserv read all/number
If you use the read all, it will read
all of the memos you have at the time
being
example: /msg memoserv read all
-MemoServ- Memo 1 from Joe. Sent: Fri
Apr 10 04:39:42 1998
-Memoserv- Hi!
-MemoServ- Memo 2 from Bell. Sent Fri
Apr 10 10:43:51 1998
-Memoserv- I missed you!
If you use the read number, memoserv
will only read the memo you specify by
the number
example: /msg memoserv read 2
-MemoServ- Memo 2 from Bell. Sent: Fri
Apr 10 10:43:51 1998
-Memoserv- I missed you!
Del:
Note:
It is suggested that memos be deleted as
soon as possible to prevent building
them up.
This command deletes the memos you
specify, or all of them. This can come
in quite handy if you don't want to wait
14 (or whatever your net has decided)
days for them to expire.
/msg memoserv del all/number
This basically works like the read
command, if you choose del all, it will
delete all of your memos.
example: /msg memoserv del all
-MemoServ- All of your memos have been
deleted.
If you choose del number it will only
delete that one memo
example: /msg memoserv del 1
-MemoServ- Memo 1 has been deleted.
News:
This
will display the news posts to the given
channel. NOTE: To send/read news posts
to a channel, you must have at least
level 1 access on the given channel.
Also, NEWS will only show posts that are
new since your last NEWS request.
Send News:
/msg memoserv send #channel <news>
This is a modified memo; it posts it to
a channel instead of a single user. You
MUST have at least level 1 on chanserv
in the channel you wish to send and/or
read news from.
example: /msg memoserv send #Chatzone
hey! look at me!
Read News:
This is just like reading a memo but it
reads every memo that was posted to the
channel from the last time you checked
them. (If you haven't checked the news
in a long time, there might be a lot so
prepare yourself.)
example: /msg memoserv read #channelname
all
Ignore:
The
MemoServ ignore feature is much like the
/ignore command, but this only filters
out any memos from someone you have
placed on your memoserv ignore list. If
you wish to completely 'ignore' someone,
you should utilize both the /ignore
command as well as the memoserv ignore
command. It is not possible to ignore
someone based on nick. Remember that if
you ignore one person on a certain
user@host, you ignore everyone at that
user@host.
To find a person's user@host, you can
use the list feature in nickserv ( if
they have registered their nick), /whois
<nick> if they are currently on
IRC or /whowas <nick> if they have
left IRC and do not have a registered
nickname, although they may not be in
the whowas database, depending on the
time they were last on. .
Ignore Add:
To ignore someone type /msg memoserv
ignore add user@host
If their nick@host looks like this:
kenny@ppp123.plop.net.au
You would then choose to ignore kenny@*.plop.net.au,
hence the command would look like this:
/msg memoserv ignore add kenny@*.plop.net.au
Ignore Del:
To un-ignore someone from your MemoServ
ignore list, you must delete them by
host@mask, as you added them.
To un-ignore kenny@*.plop.net.au you
should type:
/msg memoserv ignore del kenny@*.plop.net.au
Ignore List:
This is used to get the list of
user@host's which are currently on
ignore for your current nick.
Type: /msg memoserv ignore list
