*Or why I am in umode -i*
|
|
|
|
People ask this question from me a lot, often the same people as they don't
|
|
remember my answer.
|
|
|
|
I am in umode -i which shows the channels that I am on so if you think that
|
|
I seem sane or interesting or whatever person and feel like you have
|
|
similar interests, you can simply `/whois Mikaela` to see the public
|
|
channels that I am on and join if you see anything interesting.
|
|
|
|
But what about the trolls? I haven't had many trolls following me around
|
|
and if that happens to you, you can simply send logs to network operators
|
|
and if they are good opers, they will take action. Even freenode staffers
|
|
have took action [which is a surprise.](https://github.com/Mikaela/freenode-harassement)
|
|
|
|
## Being umode -i by yourself
|
|
|
|
Simply use `umode -i` or if that is unknown command (as it's alias in most
|
|
of clients), `/mode YOURNICK -i` and your channel list is visible to people
|
|
who `/whois` you.
|
|
|
|
It's not automatic though as networks set specific umodes on connect so you
|
|
will need to setup that as automatic command when connecting to network.
|
|
Some examples:
|
|
|
|
* HexChat: Open network list, select network and click `edit`, open tab
|
|
`Connect commands`, click `add` and type `umode -i`.
|
|
* WeeChat: `/set irc.server_default.command /mode $nick -i`
|
|
* ZNC: `/msg *status loadmod perform` and `/msg *perform add mode %nick% -i
|
|
* The same can also be done in webadmin and if you load perform for
|
|
user level, adding the command `mode %nick% -i` will set umode -i
|
|
on all networks.
