There
are three types of memos. Personal memos, channel
memos and global memos. Global memos are also
referred to as *MemoServ NEWS* and can only be sent by
the DALnet Administration. This feature will be
covered later on in the document.
Personal
memos are directed to you only, while channel
memos are directed to the Ops or SOps of a given
channel. When sending a channel memo, the memo will
automatically be duplicated and sent to every nick on
the channel AOp/SOp list.
Sending
a personal memo is done through the following command:
/memoserv
send <nick> <message>
Example:
/memoserv send Kunal Hey dude! How is your bettah half
Ravi?
Where
"Kunal" is the person who I am sending this
memo to.
Channel
memos work on the same principle. However, not
everyone can send a channel memo. When a channel is
first registered, the default access level for sending
channel memos is set to AOp. That means that only AOps,
SOps and the Founder can do so. However, in many
cases, the Founder has chosen to restrict this ability
to SOps only or to themselves only. In those cases,
only the channel SOps or the channel Founder can send
a memo to the entire channel.
Command:
/memoserv send <#channel> <message>
For
example: /memoserv send #DALnut Hey all! Nickname is
not regular to thechannel these days, Please delete him,
he will be regular after some days.
The
above would have been sent to all the registered nicks
in the AOp and
SOp lists.
If
you would like to send a memo to the SOps only
of the channel instead, then the following command
must be used:
/memoserv
SENDSOP <#channel> <message>
Note:
It is not SEND SOP .It is SENDSOP ( with out a space )
Example:
/memoserv sendsop #DALnut What does everyone think
about adding Aditya? He is really *haut* some times
sweet =)
Think
carefully before you send channel memos. If this is an
issue that doesn't concern everyone, then you might
consider sending a memo to those people instead. Keep
in mind that not everyone likes to receive a lot of
memos, especially if most of the information is
useless to them. You can send a total of 5 memos to a
person. MemoServ will deny any other
attempts unless the receiver deleted some of the
previous memos first.
When
you first use your nick, MemoServ will let you know if
there are any memos for you.
-MemoServ-
You have 1 new memo. To list them, use: /msg MemoServ@services.dal.net
list
This
leads us directly to the next command. As its name
implies, the MemoServ LIST command allows you
to view the memos sent to your nick. It allows you to
see the nick of the sender, its number, the time it
was sent and the memo's current status (new, read or
marked as deleted).
Command:
/memoserv list
A
MemoServ LIST will only display the first 20 memos.
You will have to delete some memos before being able
to view the rest with this command.
The
READ command has to be used for actually viewing the
content of a memo. The syntax is:
/memoserv
read <memo number,numbers>
As
mentioned before, the memo number is displayed in the
output of a MemoServ LIST. Example:
/memoserv
read 1
If
you have received more than one memo, then it's also
possible to read a number of them at the same time.
For example:
/memoserv
read 1,2,3
or
/memoserv
read 1,3,6
Note:
All memos are deleted after 7 days, regardless of
whether they have been read or not. A total of 50
memos can be stored for a nick at any one time.
Once
you have read a memo and have no need for it anymore,
then you can delete it. Deleting a memo is actually
done in two steps. First it marked as deleted and then
it will be purged.
The
DEL command allows you to mark one or several
memos to be deleted. Marking a memo to be deleted
still allows you to view the memo until it has been
purged. The syntax of the DEL command is:
/memoserv
del <memo number(s)>
For
example:
/memoserv
del 1
/memoserv
del 1,2,3
/memoserv
del 1,3,5
As
you can see, the DEL command works in much the same
way as the READ command. It does possess an option
that READ does not have though:
/memoserv
del all
The
ALL switch will mark all memos as deleted and will
purge them as well. Once you have used this command,
there is no going back. The memos will no longer be
stored anywhere.
A
memo can also be purged in two other ways. All deleted
memos are purged when you stop using your nick. You
can also manually tell MemoServ to purge your
deleted memos with the PURGE command.
/memoserv
purge
Once
again, once a memo has been purged, it is not
available at all anymore. So please use this
command with caution.
If
you happen to own a secondary nick, then it's possible
that you may wish for all your memos to go to your
primary nicks. This way, you won't have to constantly
change nicks to read memos. That is what the *FORWARD*
option is for. It tells MemoServ to automatically
forward all memos send to one nick to forward to
another nick.
The
syntax is:
/memoserv forward
/memoserv forward -
/memoserv forward <nick> <password>
The
first command allows you to check if you already
have forwarding turned on for the nick or not. If
you already have forwarding turned on, then you can
turn it off by using the second command. The
third command is used for actually turning on
the forwarding feature.
Example:
/memoserv
forward |{ish ircrox
The
above command would have forwarded all the memos
directed to the nick you are currently using to the
nick "|{ish" instead. "ircrox"
would be the password to the nick "|{ish".
Obviously, your current nick has to be registered in
order for this command to work.
You
can use the "/memoserv news"
command to read a news article. After reading it,
the news article will automatically delete itself. If
you don't read it, MemoServ will just keep reminding
you of it until you get tired of the constant nagging
and will read it simply to get rid of it. *wink*
Due
to this, MemoServ NEWS articles are relatively rare
and are only sent out for very important issues. Past
articles are available at http://www.dal.net/news.
Contrary to the other
commands, the NOMEMO option is set through NickServ
and not MemoServ. It is considered as a nick-specific
feature and is therefore a subset of the NickServ SET
commands.
The command is very easy to remember. You have two
possibilities:
/nickserv set nomemo on
/nickserv set nomemo off
That will turn the NOMEMO option on and off
respectively. Keep in mind that the NOMEMO option
actually overrides the FORWARD option. It's possible
to have a forwarding nick listed even if NOMEMO is
turned on, but the memos will not be forwarded and
will be refused right away.
It's important to identify to your nick before using
the NOMEMO commands. Otherwise the switch changes will
not go through successfully. :) You can identify to
your nick with "/identify <password>"
or "/quote identify <password>" among
others.
