IRC OP PROTIPS

FLAGS #flyve-mdm ajsb85 +*

check if the nick of the user is registered with /msg nickserv info <name>

if it is registered, you can use: /msg chanserv akick #channelname add <name> and then chanserv will automagically add the IP bans when they join

to add a ban for a specific IP address, just use:

/mode #channelname +b *!*@<ip>

to explain, the mask format is nick!user@host

/whois foo

return something like:

15.09.15] [freenode] »¡« foo ~foo@unaffiliated/foo [15.09.15] [freenode] »¡« ircname : Foo Bar

the server will respond with several lines of information you can /whois anyone who is currently online and some servers will give you a whowas for people who recently disconnected

another nice trick for when a troll is trying to evade bans is to use the realname ban it shows my 'ircname' as Foo Bar you can do /mode #channelname +b ~r:Foo*Bar the ~r: tells the server that you are matching on realname and not userhost mask
