I've searched the forum, maybe I've used the wrong keywords, but I wasn't able to find information on how to turn off private messaging.

Is it possible to turn this off? So users can only talk in one channel.

We use a cgi irc client as a support channel, we would also like to do the following :

On join --> users get no voice and they need to either get opped or use anope Nickserv identify to get +v.

The problem is that this isn't working, even if I set the -v manualy on a nick.

Firstly users arnt givern +v on joining a channel in the first place. If they are its because youve told a bot or services to give them voice.

Secondly a better option then trying to give them +v on identify how about just setting channel mode +M:
* M = Must be using a registered nick (+r), or have voice access to talk
Thirdly i dont know if its possible to disable private messaging.

Thanks for your reply.

+M Works perfectly now.

The private messaging works with dcc or ctcp right? If I were to disable those protocols somehow? That way users won't get each others messags even though they try?

Another question. Users are registered with Nickserv (anope) they get +v when they register.

Which works perfectly. We would like to add a group of staff members to a certain channel and join automaticaly if that's possible.

Can someone tell me if it's possible to make a group of users in Nickserv and have them join a specific channel once they identify?

By the way I'm not able to create any channels, not even as a IRC cop. or global admin. Not even if I add a allow channel in the conf file. I obviously need to make a #staff channel only, how do I do this?

You can disable private messaging my getting Syzop's m_privdeaf module, and setting the set::modes-on-connect +D and set::restrict-usermodes D
