Mark made an announcement recently about some features that will come to play in a few months. These include:
1) Using the luid and combining luid to multiple nicks.
2) Changes to the server database.
3) Changes to the way channels and nicks drop.
4) Providing emails for all users.
5) Web space for users and their channels.
To learn more about this please read http://forums.webchat.org/viewtopic.php?t=5025 on the webchat forums. I do not know anymore than what Mark said here.
II) Some additions/changes to Server Side commands
Access
Purpose: Access can now be used the same way acl is. It can be used to list, add, del or wipe channel access lists. It can also still be used to view your own access in channels, or see what access a person has.
Usage: /access #channel list uop/vop/aop/sop/mgr
Usage: /access #channel uop/vop/aop/sop/mgr add/del/enable/disable nick
Usage: /access #channel count
Usage: /access
Usage: /access nick
Example: /access #help.desk list aop
Example: /access #help.desk aop add GohanSon
Example: /access #help.desk count
Example: /access
Example: /access GohanSon
Replaces: /ns listchans, /cs why #channel nick, /cs uop/vop/aop/sop/mgr #channel, and /acl #channel
*You must be identified to the nick in order to check it’s access list.
CK or clonekick
Purpose: This command will kick out all unregistered nicks in a channel and place the modes +RJ on the channel. CK is a short cut for Clonekick.
Usage: /ck #channel
Usage: /clonekick #channel
Example: /ck #help.desk
Replaces: /cs unregkick #channel
* You must be atleast an aop in the channel to use this command. If some one else outranks you, you may not be able to use the command.
Deop
Purpose: Allows you to deop yourself or others if you have aop access or above.
Usage:
/deop #channel nick
Example:
/deop #help.desk GohanSon
Replaces:
/cs deop #channel nick
Devoice
Purpose: Allows you to voice yourself if you have vop access or above, or others if you have aop access or above.
Usage: /devoice #channel nick
Example: /devoice #help.desk GohanSon
Replaces: /cs devoice #channel nick
Op
Purpose: Allows you to op yourself or others if you have aop access or above.
Usage: /op #channel nick
Example: /op #help.desk GohanSon
Replaces: /cs op #channel nick
Voice
Purpose: Allows you to voice yourself if you have vop access or above, or others if you have aop access or above.
Usage: /voice #channel nick
Example: /voice #help.desk GohanSon
/cs voice #channel nick
III) Follow up to Location, Occupation, and Interests Fields
I did not make it complete clear about /ufield. /ufield is a short cut for /field nick. It can be used to set or remove location/occupation/interests.
For example:
Instead of using /field GohanSon set location Mars you could use /ufield location Mars
This will set Mars as your location.
Instead of using /field GohanSon set location You could use /ufield location
This will clear your location field.
