CHANMODE

Show or change the list of channel modes being enforced on the channel

Usage:

/msg Q CHANMODE <#channel> [<modes>|none]

Parameters:

<#channel> - The channel to view or set the enforced modes on.
<modes> - The modes to enforce or forbid from the channel. If none is provided, no modes will be enforced.

Additional info:

Modes specified with plus (+) will be enforced on the channel at all times, those specified with minus (-) will not be allowed on the channel. If no modes are specified, the current setting will be displayed.

If +k or +l modes are included, the actual key or limit to be enforced must also be specified, for example "-il+ntk mykey", or "+nstl-Cc 20".

If you do not want to enforce any modes, /msg Q CHANMODE #channel none will clear the list.

Note: Unlike similar commands that work on flags, specifying modes REPLACES the list of enforced modes rather than changing the existing list. This is because minus (-) modes are valid as well as plus (+) modes. Thus whenever you specify the modes argument you must provide the complete list of desired modes each time. So if CHANMODE is currently +inst and you don't want to enforce +i any more, you must do CHANMODE +nst; if you did CHANMODE -i instead then the list would change to just "-i" (so it would not allow +i to be set, but also wouldn't enforce +nst any more).

Note: If autolimit is enabled (see CHANFLAGS +c) it will enforce the limit (+l) mode, with the value updating periodically as users join and leave. This enforced limit cannot be changed or overridden without disabling the autolimit feature using the CHANFLAGS command.

Requirements:

To view the CHANMODE modes you must have at least the op flag (+o) in the CHANLEV list on the channel.
To edit the CHANMODE modes you must have at least the master flag (+m) in the CHANLEV list on the channel.

Examples:

This will show the current CHANMODE modes on channel #channel:

`/msg Q CHANMODE #channel`

This will enforce the +nt modes and will forbid the +i mode on channel #channel:

`/msg Q CHANMODE #channel +nt-i`

This will clear all enforced modes on channel #channel:

`/msg Q CHANMODE #channel none`

Wrong usage:

Trying to enforce an unknown modes or user modes:

`/msg Q CHANMODE #channel +o user`  
`-Q- Done.`
`-Q- Current forced modes on #channel: (none)`
