# Muting on channel
There is `channel lobotomy add [<channel>]`, but it may have unexpected
consequences such as disabling titlefetching or not replying to actions from
private or disabling feeds, so to have the bot not reply to anyone I prefer
disabling all responses:
```
config channel #CHAN supybot.reply.whenAddressedBy.chars ""
config channel #CHAN supybot.reply.whenAddressedBy.nick False
config channel #CHAN supybot.reply.whenAddressedBy.nick.atEnd False
config channel #CHAN supybot.reply.whenAddressedBy.nicks ""
config channel #CHAN supybot.reply.whenAddressedBy.strings ""
config channel #CHAN supybot.reply.whenNotAddressed False
```
- disables prefix char (note how "" means empty by default
(`supybot.commands.quotes`), not to be confused with """)
- disables nick as prefix
- disables nick as suffix (disabled by default)
- disables replying with other nicks as prefix (disabled by default)
- disables replying with strings as prefix (disabled by default, I think,
might be an option in `supybot-wizard`)
- disables replying to all messages on channel (disabled by default and I
have no idea why one would enable that globally anyway)
Here also `channel #CHAN` could be `network NETWORKNAME` to disable
responses by default or even `config` to do that globally. Do note that this
will allow contacting the bot privately and doing everything in private to
work.
Bonus:
```
config channel #CHAN supybot.reply.inPrivate True
```
In order to answer all commands in private instead of the channel, while
that may not be so desirable either especially in presense of relays.
## Reverting
config reset channel #CHAN supybot.reply.whenAddressedBy.chars
config reset channel #CHAN supybot.reply.whenAddressedBy.nick
config reset channel #CHAN supybot.reply.whenAddressedBy.nick.atEnd
config reset channel #CHAN supybot.reply.whenAddressedBy.nicks
config reset channel #CHAN supybot.reply.whenAddressedBy.strings
config reset channel #CHAN supybot.reply.whenNotAddressed
config reset channel #CHAN supybot.reply.inPrivate
