ChanServ

ChanServ is the lobby bot of uberserver for managing channels in the springrts.com lobby. It is intended that one day ChanServ will be replaced with a GUI, but we didn't get there yet.

Interacting with ChanServ

ChanServ commands are prefixed by a colon :. They can be given in two forms:

• By PM to the ChanServ bot, in the form e.g. :topic newbies Welcome to #newbies!
• Within a channel in which ChanServ is present, in the form e.g. :topic Welcome to #newbies!

In the second form, the channel name is omitted. Note that in this first form the channel name 'newbies' is not preceded by a # character.

ChanServ is present in all registered channels, and adds extra functionality to these channels as documented below. Contact a lobbyserver moderator to register a channel.

Commands
