HELP
GalaxyServ allows you to register and control various
aspects of channels. GalaxyServ can often prevent
malicious users from "taking over" channels by limiting
who is allowed channel operator privileges. Available
commands are listed below; to use them, type
/msg GalaxyServ command. For more information on a
specific command, type /msg GalaxyServ HELP command.
-
EXPIRES
Note that any channel which is not used for <num> days
(i.e. which no user on the channel's access list enters
for that period of time) will be automatically dropped.
-
REGISTER
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ REGISTER channel password description
Registers a channel in the GalaxyServ database. In order
to use this command, you must first be a channel operator
on the channel you're trying to register. The password
is used with the IDENTIFY command to allow others to
make changes to the channel settings at a later time.
The last parameter, which must be included, is a
general description of the channel's purpose.
When you register a channel, you are recorded as the
"founder" of the channel. The channel founder is allowed
to change all of the channel settings for the channel;
GalaxyServ will also automatically give the founder
channel-operator privileges when s/he enters the channel.
See the ACCESS command (/msg GalaxyServ HELP ACCESS) for
information on giving a subset of these privileges to
other channel users.
NOTICE: In order to register a channel, you must have
first registered your nickname. If you haven't,
/msg GalaxyServ HELP for information on how to do so.
-
IDENTIFY
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ IDENTIFY channel password
Authenticates you to GalaxyServ as the founder of the given
channel. Many commands require you to use this command
before using them. The password should be the same one
you sent with the REGISTER command.
-
LOGOUT
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ LOGOUT channel nickname
This command will log the selected nickname out meaning they
would have to reidentify themselves to regain their access.
If you are the founder of the channel, you can log out anybody,
else you can only log out yourself.
-
DROP
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ DROP channel
Unregisters the named channel. Can only be used by
channel founder, who must use the IDENTIFY command first.
-
SET
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ SET channel option parameters
Allows the channel founder to set various channel options
and other information.
Available options:
FOUNDER Set the founder of a channel
SUCCESSOR Set the successor for a channel
PASSWORD Set the founder password

URL Associate a URL with the channel
EMAIL Associate an E-mail address with the channel
ENTRYMSG Set a message to be sent to users when they

Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ SET channel FOUNDER nick
Changes the founder of a channel. The new nickname must
be a registered one.
-
SET SUCCESSOR
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ SET channel SUCCESSOR nick
Changes the successor of a channel. If the founder's
nickname expires or is dropped while the channel is still
registered, the successor will become the new founder of the
channel. However, if the successor already has too many
channels registered (<num>), the channel will be dropped
instead, just as if no successor had been set. The new
nickname must be a registered one.
-
SET PASSWORD
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ SET channel PASSWORD password
Sets the password used to identify as the founder of the
channel.
-
SET DESC
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ SET channel DESC description
Sets the description for the channel, which shows up with
the LIST and INFO commands.
-
SET URL
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ SET channel URL [url]
Associates the given URL with the channel. This URL will
be displayed whenever someone requests information on the
channel with the INFO command. If no parameter is given,
deletes any current URL for the channel.
-
SET EMAIL
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ SET channel EMAIL [address]
Associates the given E-mail address with the channel.
This address will be displayed whenever someone requests
information on the channel with the INFO command. If no
parameter is given, deletes any current E-mail address for
the channel.
-
SET ENTRYMSG
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ SET channel ENTRYMSG [message]
Sets the message which will be sent via /notice to users
when they enter the channel. If no parameter is given,
causes no message to be sent upon entering the channel.
-
SET BANTYPE
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ SET channel BANTYPE bantype
Sets the ban type that will be used by services whenever
they need to ban someone from your channel.
bantype is a number between 0 and 3 that means:
0: ban in the form *!user@host
1: ban in the form *!*user@host
2: ban in the form *!*@host
3: ban in the form *!*user@*.domain
-
SET KEEPTOPIC
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ SET channel KEEPTOPIC {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables the topic retention option for a
channel. When topic retention is set, the topic for the
channel will be remembered by GalaxyServ even after the
last user leaves the channel, and will be restored the
next time the channel is created.
-
SET TOPICLOCK
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ SET channel TOPICLOCK {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables the topic lock option for a channel.
When topic lock is set, GalaxyServ will not allow the
channel topic to be changed except via the TOPIC
command.
-
SET MLOCK
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ SET channel MLOCK modes
Sets the mode-lock parameter for the channel. GalaxyServ
allows you to define certain channel modes to be always
on, off or free to be either on or off.
The modes parameter is constructed exactly the same way
as a /MODE command; that is, modes followed by a + are
locked on, and modes followed by a - are locked off. Note,
however, that unlike the /MODE command, each use of
SET MLOCK will remove all modes previously locked before
setting the new!
Warning: If you set a mode-locked key, as in the second
example below, you should also set the RESTRICTED option for
the channel (see HELP SET RESTRICTED), or anyone entering
the channel when it is empty will be able to see the key!
Examples:
SET #channel MLOCK +nt-iklps
Forces modes n and t on, and modes i, k, l, p, and
s off. Mode m is left free to be either on or off.
SET #channel MLOCK +knst-ilmp my-key
Forces modes k, n, s, and t on, and modes i, l, m,
and p off. Also forces the channel key to be
"my-key".
SET #channel MLOCK +
Removes the mode lock; all channel modes are free
to be either on or off.
-
SET PEACE
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ SET channel PEACE {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables the peace option for a channel.
When peace is set, an user won't be able to kick,
ban or remove a channel status of an user that has
a level superior or equal to his via GalaxyServ commands.
-
SET PRIVATE
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ SET channel PRIVATE {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables the private option for a channel.
When private is set, a /msg GalaxyServ LIST will not
include the channel in any lists.
-
SET RESTRICTED
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ SET channel RESTRICTED {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables the restricted access option for a
channel. When restricted access is set, users not on
the access list will instead be kicked and banned from the channel.
-
SET SECURE
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ SET channel SECURE {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables GalaxyServ's security features for a
channel. When SECURE is set, only users who have
registered their nicknames with GalaxyServ and IDENTIFY'd
with their password will be given access to the channel
as controlled by the access list.
-
SET SECUREOPS
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ SET channel SECUREOPS {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables the secure ops option for a channel.
When secure ops is set, users who are not on the userlist
will not be allowed chanop status.
-
SET SECUREFOUNDER
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ SET channel SECUREFOUNDER {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables the secure founder option for a channel.
When secure founder is set, only the real founder will be
able to drop the channel, change its password, its founder and its
successor, and not those who are IDENTIFY'd with GalaxyServ.
-
SET SIGNKICK
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ SET channel SIGNKICK {ON | LEVEL | OFF}
Enables or disables signed kicks for a
channel. When SIGNKICK is set, kicks issued with
GalaxyServ KICK command will have the nick that used the
command in their reason.
If you use LEVEL, those who have a level that is superior
or equal to the SIGNKICK level on the channel won't have their
kicks signed. See /msg GalaxyServ HELP LEVELS for more information.
-
SET XOP
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ SET channel XOP {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables the xOP lists system for a channel.
When XOP is set, you have to use the AOP/SOP/VOP
commands in order to give channel privileges to
users, else you have to use the ACCESS command.
Technical Note: when you switch from access list to xOP
lists system, your level definitions and user levels will be
changed, so you won't find the same values if you
switch back to access system!
You should also check that your users are in the good xOP
list after the switch from access to xOP lists, because the
guess is not always perfect... in fact, it is not recommended
to use the xOP lists if you changed level definitions with
the LEVELS command.
Switching from xOP lists system to access list system
causes no problem though.
-
SET OPNOTICE
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ SET channel OPNOTICE {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables the op-notice option for a channel.
When op-notice is set, GalaxyServ will send a notice to the
channel whenever the OP or DEOP commands are used for a user
in the channel.
-
AOP
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ AOP channel ADD nick
AOP channel DEL {nick | entry-num | list}
AOP channel LIST [mask | list]
AOP channel CLEAR
Maintains the AOP (AutoOP) list for a channel. The AOP
list gives users the right to be auto-opped on your channel,
to unban or invite themselves if needed, to have their
greet message showed on join, and so on.
The AOP ADD command adds the given nickname to the
AOP list.
The AOP DEL command removes the given nick from the
AOP list. If a list of entry numbers is given, those
entries are deleted. (See the example for LIST below.)
The AOP LIST command displays the AOP list. If
a wildcard mask is given, only those entries matching the
mask are displayed. If a list of entry numbers is given,
only those entries are shown; for example:
AOP #channel LIST 2-5,7-9
Lists AOP entries numbered 2 through 5 and
7 through 9.
The AOP CLEAR command clears all entries of the
AOP list.
The AOP ADD and AOP DEL commands are limited to
SOPs or above, while the AOP CLEAR command can only
be used by the channel founder. However, any user on the
AOP list may use the AOP LIST command.
This command may have been disabled for your channel, and
in that case you need to use the access list. See
/msg GalaxyServ HELP ACCESS for information about the access list,
and /msg GalaxyServ HELP SET XOP to know how to toggle between
the access list and xOP list systems.

7 through 9.
The HOP CLEAR command clears all entries of the
HOP list.
The HOP ADD, HOP DEL and HOP LIST commands are
limited to AOPs or above, while the HOP CLEAR command
can only be used by the channel founder.
This command may have been disabled for your channel, and
in that case you need to use the access list. See
/msg GalaxyServ HELP ACCESS for information about the access list,
and /msg GalaxyServ HELP SET XOP to know how to toggle between
the access list and xOP list systems.
-
SOP
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ SOP channel ADD nick
SOP channel DEL {nick | entry-num | list}
SOP channel LIST [mask | list]
SOP channel CLEAR
Maintains the SOP (SuperOP) list for a channel. The SOP
list gives users all rights given by the AOP list, and adds
those needed to use the AutoKick and the BadWords lists,
to send and read channel memos, and so on.
The SOP ADD command adds the given nickname to the
SOP list.
The SOP DEL command removes the given nick from the
SOP list. If a list of entry numbers is given, those

-
ACCESS
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ ACCESS channel ADD nick level
ACCESS channel DEL {nick | entry-num | list}
ACCESS channel LIST [mask | list]
ACCESS channel CLEAR
Maintains the access list for a channel. The access
list specifies which users are allowed chanop status or
access to GalaxyServ commands on the channel. Different
user levels allow for access to different subsets of
privileges; /msg GalaxyServ HELP ACCESS LEVELS for more
specific information. Any nick not on the access list has
a user level of 0.
The ACCESS ADD command adds the given nickname to the
access list with the given user level; if the nick is
already present on the list, its access level is changed to
the level specified in the command. The level specified
must be less than that of the user giving the command, and
if the nick is already on the access list, the current
access level of that nick must be less than the access level
of the user giving the command.
The ACCESS DEL command removes the given nick from the
access list. If a list of entry numbers is given, those
entries are deleted. (See the example for LIST below.)
The ACCESS LIST command displays the access list. If

only those entries are shown; for example:
ACCESS #channel LIST 2-5,7-9
Lists access entries numbered 2 through 5 and
7 through 9.
The ACCESS CLEAR command clears all entries of the
access list.
-
ACCESS LEVELS
User access levels
By default, the following access levels are defined:
Founder Full access to GalaxyServ functions; automatic
opping upon entering channel. Note
that only one person may have founder
status (it cannot be given using the
ACCESS command).
10 Access to AKICK command; automatic opping.
5 Automatic opping.
3 Automatic voicing.
0 No special privileges; can be opped by other
ops (unless secure-ops is set).
<0 May not be opped.
These levels may be changed, or new ones added, using the
LEVELS command; type /msg GalaxyServ HELP LEVELS for
information.
-
AKICK
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ AKICK channel ADD {nick | mask} [reason]
AKICK channel STICK mask
AKICK channel UNSTICK mask
AKICK channel DEL {nick | mask | entry-num | list}
AKICK channel LIST [mask | entry-num | list]
AKICK channel VIEW [mask | entry-num | list]
AKICK channel ENFORCE
AKICK channel CLEAR
Maintains the AutoKick list for a channel. If a user
on the AutoKick list attempts to join the channel,
GalaxyServ will ban that user from the channel, then kick
the user.
The AKICK ADD command adds the given nick or usermask
to the AutoKick list. If a reason is given with
the command, that reason will be used when the user is
kicked; if not, the default reason is "You have been
banned from the channel".
When akicking a registered nick the nickserv account
will be added to the akick list instead of the mask.
All users within that nickgroup will then be akicked.
The AKICK STICK command permanently bans the given mask
on the channel. If someone tries to remove the ban, GalaxyServ
will automatically set it again. You can't use it for
registered nicks.
The AKICK UNSTICK command cancels the effect of the
AKICK STICK command, so you'll be able to unset the
ban again on the channel.
The AKICK DEL command removes the given nick or mask
from the AutoKick list. It does not, however, remove any
bans placed by an AutoKick; those must be removed
manually.
The AKICK LIST command displays the AutoKick list, or
optionally only those AutoKick entries which match the
given mask.
The AKICK VIEW command is a more verbose version of
AKICK LIST command.
The AKICK ENFORCE command causes GalaxyServ to enforce the
current AKICK list by removing those users who match an
AKICK mask.
The AKICK CLEAR command clears all entries of the
akick list.
-
LEVELS
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ LEVELS channel SET type level
LEVELS channel {DIS | DISABLE} type
LEVELS channel LIST
LEVELS channel RESET
The LEVELS command allows fine control over the meaning of
the numeric access levels used for channels. With this
command, you can define the access level required for most
of GalaxyServ's functions. (The SET FOUNDER and SET PASSWORD
commands, as well as this command, are always restricted to
the channel founder.)
LEVELS SET allows the access level for a function or group of
functions to be changed. LEVELS DISABLE (or DIS for short)
disables an automatic feature or disallows access to a
function by anyone other than the channel founder.
LEVELS LIST shows the current levels for each function or
group of functions. LEVELS RESET resets the levels to the
default levels of a newly-created channel (see
HELP ACCESS LEVELS).
For a list of the features and functions whose levels can be
set, see HELP LEVELS DESC.
-
INFO
Syntax: /msg GalaxyServ INFO channel [ALL]
