Banning

First, be an op, and then ban somebody for 30min:

/msg chanserv op #emacs
/chanserv akick #emacs ADD  !T 30 drop it /kensanata

Usually nick is a pattern that matches the hostname, eg. *!*@static-108-32-33-25.pitbpa.fios.verizon.net, which is what you get from /whois <nick>.

List all banned patterns:

/mode #emacs +b

Unban somebody:

/mode #emacs -b %borg!*@*

Spammers

Set the channel to registered users only:

=> registered users only

/mode #emacs +r

Idle Time on Freenode

It seems that /whois nick nick does this. ¹

irssi

Here’s how I set up irssi on a new system. I usually use rcirc, however.

=> irssi | rcirc

/ircnet add -nick kensanata -user alex -realname "Alex Schroeder" -autosendcmd "/^MSG nickserv identify blabla; /wait -freenode 2000; " freenode
/server add -auto -ircnet freenode irc.freenode.net
/channel add -auto #emacs freenode
/channel add -auto #wiki freenode
/channel add -auto #oddmuse freenode
/channel add -auto #rcirc freenode
/channel add -auto #epfarms freenode
/ignore -replies xah

Actually the list of channels varies. And these days I use rcirc instead of irssi.

=> rcirc
