Forums mIRC Help mode +r ?

how do i stop unwanted chat when in channel ?

If your network supports it you can type (in any window): //mode $me +r Some networks use +r to show you're a registered user and you might need +R instead. Consult your networks on connect info, message of the day (/motd), as well as their local network related help channel. The other way if your network does NOT have that option is to script it

script it ?

well, in channel you can do timed bans and things like that or ban. of course you could also set the channel mode of +R (only registered nicknames can join) or +M (only registered nicknames can talk) or +m (only voiced nicknames can talk). If you mean in private chat, you can script it so people dont bother you from the channel in PM

mode +r is a channel mode, means that only registered users can join the channel you must be Opped in order to do it then type /mode #channelname +r to -r /mode #channelname -r

yes, I know that, but all that was asked was to stop unwanted chat in a channel which wcould have meant in the channel or from the channel but in private. I used to help in a help channel ages ago and used to get this all the time which is why I mentioned both ways of doing it in my last post

you mean you want to have a secure query, so that no one can msg you when you join a channel?

Firstly, +r may or may not be supported by a network as I believe landon has already pointed out. As he pointed out also, +r is often used to signify that a nickname or channel (or both) is registered, therefore, +R is often used.

I think the original poster needs to make clear about what they class as "unwanted chat". Does that mean non-registered users? Non-voiced users? Swearing? Caps? Flooding? Repeating?

As a recap of what has been pretty much said already:

If you want to stop flooding/repeating/swearing/caps then read http://helpdesk.zaz.net/documents/protection.php - it has lots of worked protection scripts. They should all work for version 6.14 even though they are written for version 5.91.

To stop non-voiced (+) users speaking use the +m mode. This means that ONLY opped (@) and voiced (+) users may talk.

If you want to stop non-registered users from speaking in the channel then you will need to set a special mode on the channel. Usually this is +M but it might be different (Notice how it's +M not +m. It is case sensitive). Your best bet is to ask in the #Help channel of the network you use, or check out their website.
If you don't know the website then search Google.

Finally, if you want to stop people private messaging you then you can either use a query protection script (A 'query' is a private message). You might want to see this thread, but if you don't know much about scripting you may not understand it. mIRC scripting code goes into your remotes, press ALT+R when in mIRC. Also type /help remote scripts for a description. For more query blocking scripts see www.mircscripts.org and run a search.
Alternatively, there may be a mode on your network which prevents certain users messaging you. Again, you will have to ask in the #Help channel or check out their website.

And just an FYI...

To set a mode on a channel use /mode #channel +mode - For example, /mode #mIRC +m will set +m on the channel #mIRC.

To set a mode on yourself use /mode your-nickname +mode - For example, /mode adimil +R would set mode +R on your nickname if it is 'adimil'.

Hope this helps.
