Channel modes
From 6IRCNet
Channel modes can be set and unset using /mode command. To set a mode, use eg.:
/mode #channel +b x3nU!*@*
To unset a mode, use eg.:
/mode #channel -b x3nU!*@*
To set and unset multiple modes at a time, you can use it like this:
/mode #channel +nt-b+b x3nU!*@* *!xenu@*
Note, that x3nU!*@* and *!xenu@* are parameters to -b and +b respectively, because +n and +t don't need a parameter.
