While a great question this is also the kind of question that really depends on the ircd used. – ThiefMaster Sep 23 '12 at 20:33

That's very depending if you are satisfied with the functions provided by ChanServ or not. A pluspoint is that ChanServ is probably never going to go offline, a self-hosted bot might. – Kevin May 16 at 6:14

Two sides to the coin. Do you want to allow paranoid users or do you want to deal with asshats trying to flood your channels with the latest script kiddie build. The IRCOp should already be prepared to deal with both sides before installing the daemon. – jfalcon Jun 7 '12 at 21:10

	This would depend on the client and what background scripts they may have installed. A question like this is way too varied on client and the script itself. – jfalcon Jun 7 '12 at 21:06
	in current IRCD implementations this isnt possible. YOu'd have to enable some type of ban management bot to do that. – The Lord of Time Jul 23 '12 at 13:52

This is a very good and precise question. – MaxMackie Nov 10 '11 at 20:03

On unrealircd this is set by the directive SET { modes-on-connect "+ixw";} the +x obfuscates the user IP/Host, and the user can simply remove or add it by doing /mode YourNick +(-)x – Hicham LEMGHARI Dec 31 '12 at 23:09

This type of question would generally be network-dependent, so the number of answer we would have for this is highly insane, and you will get numerous different answers (for example, NickServ on Freenode, Q on whatever its network is, etc.). – The Lord of Time Jul 24 '12 at 13:56

However, on IRC, it could easily include tags such as "Anope", etc. – Qix Jan 29 at 15:45

@The Lord of Time: The network should be specified in the question. – Sai Manoj Kumar Yadlapati Mar 9 at 16:54

@ysaimanojkumar true, however, the "e.g." part only suggests an example, and does not SPECIFICALLY state a network itself. Since we don't have any true details as to the specifics, since this is just the question and not a question with a description, my original opinion still stands. – The Lord of Time Mar 9 at 20:28

Hope it is okay now. – Sai Manoj Kumar Yadlapati Mar 10 at 5:30

for an arbitrary IRCd – Hiroto Feb 2 at 2:34

The problem with this question is that it really depends on the particular IRCd. – jli Nov 23 '11 at 21:33

Agreed, I'm thinking it could be a very nice CW though. – MaxMackie Nov 30 '11 at 0:43

This will solicit a lot of discussion as too many people will have varying opinions. – The Lord of Time Jul 24 '12 at 13:54

I figured this proposal could use a very simple question. You have to expect these types of basic questions to pop up on an IRC Q&A site. – animuson Mar 23 '12 at 23:12

This question is probably answered by google, but a concise answer for networking could apply here. – Hiroto Feb 2 at 2:32

This is an IRCD dependent question, as it stands it is too open and broad. – The Lord of Time Mar 9 at 20:29

Further clarification that couldn't fit in the main question: This is assuming the asker has BOPM and iptables already set up (this is a real situation that happened to a friend of mine a while ago, and we did figure it out). Assume the iptables configuration would be basic (there are varying degrees of thoroughness on iptables). – JMcAfreak Mar 27 at 16:02

This is a pretty subjective question. The opinions on this can differ greatly. While there may be some general answers, there is also a broad range of answers that would be considered acceptable. – JMcAfreak Mar 27 at 16:11
