Forums Developers ignore function needed......

klines bans excepts Invites ect allow for "?" to specify a random char being there....... ignore needs that to block spam from specific host/ident/nick matches

ie spam from....
john!gjklsdhflgjk@4567457-ca.spammer.sucks
mat!fhdfg@4987457-ca.spammer.sucks
person3!outofnames@4q67a57-ca.spammer.sucks

then a mask like.... *!*@?????57-ca.spammer.sucks
would ignore just that user,
(those are bad example but ya get the idea)

I don't know if I get you right but anyways:

try /ignore nick type
for example (pavlikenski!~az_pavlik@bgirc-164714.netissat.net) /ignore pavlikenski 12 will do
* Added *!*@bgirc-??????.netissat.net to ignore list
hope I've got you right and that helps

//mode $me +i

or //mode $me +g

I think DALnet created the +R usermode (//mode $me +R) which avoids spammers from spamming you in private. I'm not sure about how it works since I don't go on DALnet (I used to be there ages ago when it opened), but this is pretty effective.

Well, it doesn't really serve any purpose to give out usermodes without knowing where the person (who asked the question), actually goes to.

IRCDs are very independent from each other and have evolved differently drastically on different networks.

My 2 cents,

Well I've found that on any network, just setting yourself to invisible mode (which I'm sure is standard on all ircd's as +i), has always allowed me to evade unsolicited spam messages from people who aren't just using remote triggers to send people messages upon joining a channel.

Though this may not block all spam you receive, I'm sure it will help cut down on a heck of a lot. I haven't received anything for years, unless it's due to somebody's remote script upon joining a channel.
