Nick modes

There is a number of nick modes that is defined by RFC 1459 and all servers should support them. Each server may extend nick modes .

+a: This mode is applied by the server to a nick after a successful command that gives a user name and a password for an administrator .

+i: This mode can be added with the /MODE command . Only the users that are in the same channel as you ,can use /whois or /who on you .

+o: This mode is applied by the server to a nick after a successful /OPER command , and makes him a Sysop . On some servers , the user must first authenticate him/herself using an AUTH or a PASS command .

+s: This mode can be set with /MODE , and notifies you of server links / kills / splits etc.

+w: This mode can be set with /MODE , and notifies you of wallop messages .

+x:This mode is applied by the server after an /IRCX command . If the server supports IRCX , the client with +x is treated as an IRCX client .

*** Note : Modes +w and +s are not generally used on IRCX servers , because the use of /EVENT command supersedes those features .
