What user modes does DarkMyst offer and how do I use them?

A 'user mode' is a flag added as metadata to your connection for advanced control of your IRC experience, using the /mode <your-nick> <mode> command (e.g. /mode Waldo +D).

PARAMETERS: /mode nick +|-[mode]

+i
Designates this client as "invisible". Users using /WHO or /NAMES will not see you on the list of nicks unless they are in the target channel with you.

+g
"Caller ID" mode: allows only clients on your accepted from your session-defined whitelist.

+w
Receive wallops: accept wallops messages sent by opers.

+D
Deaf: ignores all channel messages. Joins, parts, topic changes, mode changes, and private messages are all received normally.

+Q
No Forwarding: prevents you from being affected by any channel forwarding modes. Instead, you will receive an error message as if no forwarding was set.

+R
Reject unregistered users' messages: any users who are not identified to services will be blocked from sending messages to you. Opers and users added to your whitelist are exempt.

+Z
Connected via SSL (cannot be set or unset).

Q: How do I add a user to my whitelist?

/accept
Adds or removes entries on your accepted list for +g and +R. Users are removed if they quit or change nicks.
