| *Or why I am in umode -iI*
 | |
| 
 | |
| People ask this question from me a lot, often the same people as they don't
 | |
| remember my answer.
 | |
| 
 | |
| I am in umode -iI 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-harassment)
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Being umode -iI by yourself
 | |
| 
 | |
| Simply use `umode -iI` or if that is unknown command (as it's alias in most
 | |
| of clients), `/mode YOURNICK -iI` 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 -iI`.
 | |
| * WeeChat: `/set irc.server_default.command /mode $nick -iI`
 | |
| * ZNC: `/msg *status loadmod perform` and `/msg *perform add mode %nick% -iI`
 | |
|     * The same can also be done in webadmin and if you load perform for
 | |
|       user level, adding the command `mode %nick% -iI` will set umode -iI
 | |
|       on all networks.
 | |
| 
 | |
| *Update on 2015-04-13: add umode -I which is the InspIRCd way of hiding
 | |
| all channels from whois depending on the modules loaded and IRCd config.*
