This page will guide you through on what you can do to improve your setup, and ideas on what to do next.
Set up your client
You may want to set up your client to oper-up on join, set some user modes, and more. Here is a few suggestions for user modes:
- User mode +T: Disable CTCPs from being sent to you.
- User mode +J(*): Prevent SAJOIN/SAPARTs.
(*) Requires module third/nosajoinpartmode
You can do snomasks and modes in your operblock too, see below.
Customize your oper block
You can set things such as:
- swhois: A line that shows up when you are /WHOISed
- operclass: I recommend
netadminfor this, but you may usenetadmin-with-override(be careful: you may accidentally mess things up that usually are not possible by default) - mask: Set this to
*@host. Host would preferably be your bouncer (if you use a shared one, set it toident@host), your IP address, or localhost. - password: You can use
password "INSERT CERTFP HERE" { certfp; }if you client supports client certificates. You can obtain the fingerprint by /WHOISing yourself while using the certificate. Then, to oper up, you can do/oper <operblock name>. (/quote oper <operblock name>, if your client enforces some sort of format, like WeeChat.) - snomask: You can set snomasks to add to yourself upon opering. Example:
snomask fobar; - modes: You can set modes to add to yourself upon opering. Example:
modes "+WJT";
Join some channels
There are channels varying from fun to network management to chat channels.
| Channel | Description |
|---|---|
| #pissnet | The main channel of the network |
| #opers | Operator channel. Chatting & network issues are discussed here. |
| #(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ | An eval bot running Ruby & shell commands. |
| #pisswiki | Wiki logs. |
| #wallops | WallopsServ bot. |
| ##asciiart | ASCII art channel |
| #donger | Fight bot. |
| #shitbots | Markov bots and other weird bots. |
| #ducks | DuckBot channel. |
Things to avoid
At pissnet you can mostly do what you want, but there are a few things we want you to refrain from or not do at all.
- Do NOT link Eris. This will result in a jupe/delink.
- Please refrain from flooding too much as this causes server and client SendQ's and freezing.
- Please refrain from killing users a lot.
- Please don't mess with other people's pseudoservers or bots whenever possible.
- Be kind to everyone.
Suggestions on what to do
If you like programming, you may:
- Write a pseudoserver
- Write a few bots
Have fun!
