Those Channel modes are available on our Network for use - please keep in mind you have to be operator (@) or higher for most of those modes.
Various modes can be set on channels. Use /mode #channel to list current channel modes and /msg chanserv info #channel to list modes set with MLOCK. All channel modes will be lost when a channel becomes empty. Enable GUARD to preserve modes.
To set a mode, use /mode #channel +[mode] replacing [mode] with the letter that corresponds to the mode. To unset a mode, use /mode #channel -[mode]
