Getting to grips with IRC.


Question

I have decided to switch my website chat over to IRC and i want to get to grips with a couple of things again. I've tried going off a few websites but it doesn't seem to have worked.

What i want to do is:

1. Create a room

2. Register it so it's mine?

3. Create and register my own username so no one else can use it.

4. Be automatically made admin when i enter the room, don't let any other user become admin, basically protecting my room.

Can all this be achieved? are there any bots worth using?

Sounds like you want to use an IRC network that provides chan/nick services. These will do everything you list. Just having your own bot will not do.

(Also, the terminology is channel, not room, and channel operator, not admin.)

Great thanks,

I've registered my nickname, and channel, and hidden the channel.

Now what is the best way to manage it? i don't want anyone setting as OP , even if the room is empty, the only OPs should by anyone i set and myself. how do i configure this?

Setup topic, administration features etc with;

"/msg chanserv help"

Set up permissions for your username with;

"/msg nickserv help"

Also you can possible have a bot for added "coolness" if the network supports it;

"/msg botserv help"

Once you have registered a channel, you are the only op at that time, unless you set it in chanserv to op specific users then it won't happen unless you do it manually with "/mode" command in the channel. All users must be registered to be set in chanserv. Beware, unless you set your nick permissions, someone can get on your nickname even thoe you have registered it. If someone were to change to your nick it will tell them its registered but do nothing. Most networks this is default. You need to set the permissions using nickserv, read up on nickserv help on the server. :)
