Forums mIRC Help Ignore Command

How do I put someone on Ignore, so that they cannot reach me by DCC or Query by changing their nickname? I know I can include their address in the command, but don't understand the instructions in the Mirc Help section of the program.

Thanks to anyone who will show me the exact command line.

dotcom

You can use /ignore nickname -pd 3 - the '3' ignores the *!*user@hostname for a user. This will only work if the nickname is currently online. If they are not, then you will need to write out the *!*user@hostname manually (if you know it) - i.e. /ignore -pd *!*user@hostname.

The -d switch ignores DCCs.
The -p switch ignores private query messages.
You may wish to use -n aswell to ignore private notices.

There are a total of 9 different numbers you can use to ignore different types of hostmasks as follows:

0: *!user@host
1: *!*user@host
2: *!*@host
3: *!*user@*.host
4: *!*@*.host
5: nick!user@host
6: nick!*user@host
7: nick!*@host
8: nick!*user@*.host
9: nick!*@*.host

You can manually edit ignores by going to the ignore dialog:

ALT+B > Control > Ignore (Choose 'Ignore' from the drop down list)

Highlight an ignore and click on 'Edit' and then check/uncheck the different types of ignores you want to ignore the user for.

To list your ignores, type /ignore -l.

Hope this helps

Actually there's more than that. 10 and above assign ? to numbers as a wildcard amtch instead of *. After yuou've signed on to a network, try this;

//echo -s 0 - $address($me,0) | //echo -s 1 - $address($me,1) | //echo -s 2 - $address($me,2) | //echo -s 3 - $address($me,3) | //echo -s 4 - $address($me,4) | //echo -s 5 - $address($me,5) | //echo -s 6 - $address($me,6) | //echo -s 7 - $address($me,7) | //echo -s 8 - $address($me,8) | //echo -s 9 - $address($me,9) | //echo -s 10 - $address($me,10) | //echo -s 11 - $address($me,11) | //echo -s 12 - $address($me,12) | //echo -s 13 - $address($me,13) | //echo -s 14 - $address($me,14) | //echo -s 15 - $address($me,15) | //echo -s 16 - $address($me,16) | //echo -s 17 - $address($me,17) | //echo -s 18 - $address($me,18) | //echo -s 19 - $address($me,19)

I did NOT use the "code" tag here since it's not needed and should copy/paste just fine. You'll see some repetition from 10 - 19 but there are a few more there that MAY work well for the original poster (as well as other people too)

Hehe,

just a little optimization for your code, so that he can see the trees behind the bush:


Put that in your remotes, and then type /addresses

<blah>

Nope, 10-19 shows numbers replaced by ?

This is what i got when i performed the alias i just posted:

Notice the difference?

Oh, duh, silly me, I just noticed that my vhost has no numbers in it hence why I was getting hardly any different results.

As clarification, as I don't mind saying I do feel patronised, I was aware of the 10-19 mask numbers, I simply did not think of them for...whatever reasons lol (4hrs sleep maybe?)

Thanks for including that though

Regards,

LOL Awesome, Ill put that in it's place The one I posted was from a VERY old alias before I knew the three words "optimize your coding" LOL

personally, I think it would be nice if these extra masks got put into the help file with a bit more explanation of the difference between * and ? wildcard matching, but that's just me.
