NEWBIE MIRC COMMANDS

Just switched over to mIRC from Java? Here are some basic commands:

/join
Type /join #channelname -- to join a channel of your choice
Example: /join #dommefemsub
What it looks like:

[18:44] *** Now talking in #dommefemsub
--Op-- manicmandyhas joined the channel
[18:44] *** Topic is 'A place for all women....]'
[18:44] *** Set by abc on Sun Aug 23 15:10:35

/me
The /me is an action message.
Type /me 'does anything'
Example: /me waves hello
What it looks like:
* manicmandy waves hello

/msg
Type /msg nickname (message) to start a private chat.
Example: /msg superflygirl Hey fly, how are you?
What it looks like:
-> *superflygirl* Hey, how are you?

/nick
/nick changes your nickname
Example: type /nick newnickname (limit 9 characters)
What it looks like: I typed /nick manicmandy
*** superflygirl is now known as manicmandy

/notice
A notice is used to send a short message to another person without opening up a private window.
Type /notice nickname (message)
Example: /notice hello you.
What it looks like:
-> -manicmandy- Please state your age sex domme or sub.
/part
Type /part -- to leave one channel
Type /partall -- to leave all the channels you are in

/ping
Type /ping nickname. What this command does is give you the ping time, or lag time, between you and the person you pinged.

Lag can be explained as the amount of time it takes for you to type your message and for others to read your messages. Unfortunately, lag is always a part of IRC, although most times it's not a problem, just a nuisance.
Example: /ping superflygirl
What it looks like:
[19:04] -> [superflygirl] PING
[19:04] [superflygirl PING reply]: 0secs

/query
Similar to the /msg, except it forces a window to pop open.
Type /query nickname (message)
Example: /query manicmandy....what's new?
What it looks like:
soooo....what's new?

/quit
Type /quit to leave IRC altogether. This disconnects mirc from the server.
Example: /quit Going out for dinner...nite all
What it looks like:
*** Quits: superflygirl (Leaving)

/ignore
Unfortunately, there will be times when you don't want to talk to someone, or else someone may be harassing you.
By typing /ignore nickname you will not receive anymore messages from that person.
Example: /ignore manicmandy
To Unignore them, type /ignore -r manicmandy
What it looks like:
*** Added *!*manicmandy@*.dialup.netins.net to ignore list
*** Removed *!*manicmandy@*.dialup.netins.net from ignore list

/whois
Type /whois nickname to see a bit more information about another user. You'll see what server another person is using, or what their ISP is. Pretty helpful when you don't recognize a nickname that wants to chat. You may recognize the IP, (Internet Protocol) and then feel more comfortable carrying on a conversation. You'll also be able to see what other channels a person is in, which might be a good indicator if you really want to talk with them or not.
Example: /whois manicmandy
What it looks like:
manicmandy is manicmandy@whatever.net * yada yada yada
manicmandy on @#dommefemsub
manicmandy has been idle 18secs, signed on Sun Jun 27 18:42:26
manicmandy End of /WHOIS list.

/chat
This opens up a DCC/CHAT window to another user. What's nice about these is that you can continue to chat even if you get disconnected from your server.
Word of Caution: Do NOT accept dcc/chats nor dcc/gets from anyone that you don't know.
Type /chat nickname.
Example: /chat manicmandy
What it looks like:
Chat with manicmandy
Waiting for acknowledgement...

/help
There's one more very helpful command, and probably the one you'll use a lot when first starting out. In fact, I still use it quite a lot, and that's the built-in help menu of mIRC.
Type /help, you'll see the the mIRC Help Menu open up. You can do a search from there, or you can type /help topic. Either way, a TON of information at your fingertips.
Example: /help Basic IRC Commands

HOW TO CHANGE COLORS

• Set the desired color of your mIRC
• Click OK.

WHOIS

To do a WHOIS on someone, do the following :

• type /whois nickname
  
  
• double click in their pm window
  
  
• select their nick in the side bar and rightclick > whois.

IMPOSTERS

Please be warned that there are IMPOSTERS on b.com. They will pretend to be your Mistress/Master, sub/slave, friend etc. To minimise such incidents we highly recommend the following precautions.

• Please make sure you check the WHOIS of the person you are speaking to every single time.
  
  
• Take time to register your nickname and encouraged your friends and love ones to do the same.

• Enable nick kill protection on your nick.
  
  
• Report an imposters or suspect imposters to ircops at #help.

When "NO" means "NO"

There are instances when a play in channel can get out of hand. If you find yourself on the receiving end of an unwelcome advance/play/scene please politely refuse it clearly in channel or send them a notice or pm. If the person does not stop, please put them on ignore by typing /ignore or contact an OP for assistance.

If you are in a play/scene with someone and they are uncomfortable and say no, please respect their boundaries and discontinue the scene. If you continue to force yourself or the situation onto them, please understand that residing OPs will have no choice but to implement disciplinary action by way of a kick and/or ban.

Remember consent is an ongoing thing and a "NO" supercedes any consent that may have been given prior to the "NO".

For this reason, we do not recommend you play/scene with persons that are AFK (away from keyboard) unless you know them very well and know that they do not mind you doing so.

This is a simple matter of mutual respect within the BDSM community, a core value real life or online.

Grouping Your Nickname

If you have already registered a nickname, there is no need to reregister each time you change your nick. Simply use this command to group your new nickname to the registered nick.

Change your nick to your new nickname.

Type:

/msg nickserv group registerednick yourpassword

You should then receive a message from nickserv saying:

-NickServ- You are now in the group of registerednick.

Nickserv Kill Protection - protect your nickname

Once registered, a registered nickname can still be used by an unauthorised person if KILL protection is not set to ON.

To turn on KILL Protection type:

/msg nickserv set KILL ON

Memoserv Send

Memoserv can be used to send messages between registered users. Messages cannot be retrieved without the recepient IDing to their nick with nickserv and hence more a more secure alternative to Botmail.

Open a query window to Memorserv by typing:

/q Memoserv

then type:

send |recepient| |message|

Memoserv will then send you the following message to tell you your message is sent:
-MemoServ- Memo sent to |recepient|



Memoserv supports the following commands:
-
SEND Send a memo to a nick or channel
-
CANCEL Cancel last memo you sent
-
LIST List your memos
-
READ Read a memo or memos
-
DEL Delete a memo or memos
-
SET Set options related to memos
-
INFO Displays information about your memos
-
CHECK Checks if last memo to a nick was read

Type /msg MemoServ HELP command for help on any of the above commands.

Botmail Send

Botmail can be used to send offline messages between users. Please note that there are times when botmail is offline and unavailable.

Open a query window to Botmail > type

send |recepient| |your message|

You will then receive a message like

|yournick|, your BotMail msg is set up for delivery to |recepient|

For more secure messaging look use Memoserv

Alias Writing

Aliases allow you to write customised little short-cuts that make your mIRC experience easier and possibly more fun.

Click on your Scripts Editor or go to TOOLS/SCRIPTS EDITOR OR Alt+R

it will popup the following window.


Pick a letter(s) to call your command in this case /id and /id2 have been used. Click OK when you're done.

To call you aliased command simply type /id in the chatbox.

DCC Help

DCC used to work and does not work anymore (not behind a router)


Go to mIRC>OPTIONS>CONNECT>LOCALINFO ..... clear the Local Host and IP Address Fields> check IP Address and Server and click OK and reboot mIRC.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


DCC is behind a router
To use DCC behind a firewall, you need open the ports for it on your router and enter the port range into mIRC. Due to the large range of firewalls available we regret we care unable to offer support on how to open the ports in your router. There are many tutorials on the net on how to administrate your router's firmware interface. Once you have done this please enter go to mIRC>OPTIONS>ADVANCED..... and enter your port range in the fields highlighted in yellow . Make sure DCC is checked. Recommended portranges are for example ports from 60001 - 60010, which will allow you to make 10 concurrent dcc transfers at once. This portrange is not used by any other protocol, so it is not likely to interfere with anything, or pose a security threat as well. A very good starting-point for finding out how to configure your router is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_forwarding which has at the bottom of the page links to very helpful resources.

I've Been Innocently Banned From Channel!!!!

If you have been banned and it is not your fault and you are truly innocent, please contact a residing OP for help. We do regret any inconvenience caused. Please make sure you are using a registered nickname to avoid people masquerading as you and making a nuisance of themselves and getting you banned on certain channels.

If you have been banned by an OP due to an incident that occurred in channel and do not feel that your ban was justified, you may wish to submit an appeal on that decision. However please bear in mind that all our OPs adhere to a systematic protocol on how to address channel matters. They do not take channel matters into their own hands but work with an existing established system.

>> Submit an appeal

Perform

To add commands to your perform simply go to
IRC>OPTIONS>CONNECT>OPTIONS/PERFORM .....check enable perform on connect in the popup box and fill in the Perform commands field . Click OK and OK again.

IDing Per Entry

"Why do I have to ID each time i enter the channel?"

The answer is simple.

• It is a rule that applies to everyone no matter how long they have been frequenting the channel.
• Not everyone in the channel each time you enter was there when you first entered and ID'd for the first time.
• Not all ops were there when you ID'd for the first time.

"Why not use a profile bot?"

• Although that is possible, we want to rely as little as possible on bots for such functions simply because when the bot goes offline (and they do) everything reduces to chaos.

If you find IDing a chore..... use an alias or a scripts that will do your IDing for you.

Harassments

The following policies are subject to change where necessary.

• If you are being harassed in PM, please note that our OPS will not intervene in private matters. Please do not request that they do. Please use the following command to alleviate your problem /ignore nicktobeignored.
• All harassments in channel will lead to being served a warning and possibly a subsequent ban if the warning is not heeded. Fighting is prohibited in channel.
• If you have information about someone you have been chatting to pertaining to dishonesty about being female. Please notify an OP and please have ready a necessary log and whois information. No action will be taken without logs. A mere accusation is insufficient.
• If you have information about someone who should not be on the server eg. underaged etc etc. Please notify a channel OP as well as an ircOP in #help. Once again you will be required to submit logs and whois information.
