CallerID

CallerID is a powerful feature to ignore private message from people you did not explicitly allow to do so.

  • You need to set /umode +g, +G, or +j to enable this mode
    • +g is the strictest mode, all private messages need to be whitelisted
    • +G additionally lets private messages through if the sender and the recipient share a channel. +G taks precedence over +g
    • +j additionally lets private messages through if the sender is registered with NickServ. If the user has +Gj set, they can only receive messages from registered users who also share a channel
  • If someone messages you and (s)he is not your ignorelist, (s)he AND you will get a short notice saying that you are +g. You will get this message only once every 60 seconds
  • Use /ACCEPT <nick> to allow people to privately message you
  • To remove a user, issue /ACCEPT -<nick>
  • To view your accept list, issue /ACCEPT *
  • When the accepted user quits, you quit, you are separated by a netsplit, or the accepted user changes his nick, the ACCEPT will be invalidated
