Hiding the userlist from IRC Users

Post by PlayBoyMan »

Is there a module or an option that can prevent users who connect to to my IRC Server that will hide the list of users in any open channel?

The first one is the /whois.

The Second one is a bit hard to explain, but I'll try my best: In the IRC Client, there is a separate list of users in a channel when you join it. What I want to do is set it so the user list appears empty.

I don't think your going to be able to do away with the user list. It's just how IRC works. The best you could do is set all of the channels +s for secret, but once again pointless.

/whois, you would have to know the nick of the person you are doing it on.

Best you could do, is write a mod to make /whois and /who oper only. But the userlist cannot be removed. Besides, if ppl are talking, there nicks are going to pop up anyways.

/mode #chan +u

do it on every channel. That however only hides the users from /who and /names. It doesn't not prevent whois, or stop the userlist for users joined to the channel

Someone wanting to hide users on a server and doesn't even know how to set a channel mode? This is rather suspicious so I'll just lock this thread and pretend like we didn't help someone do something like this.
