Commands
SET AUTOOP {ON | OFF}
Sets whether you will be given your channel status modes automatically. Set to ON to allow ChanServ to set status modes on you automatically when entering channels. Note that depending on channel settings some modes may not get set automatically.
SET DISPLAY new-display
Changes the display used to refer to your nickname group in Services. The new display MUST be a nick of your group.
SET EMAIL emailaddress
Associates the given E-mail address with your nickname. This address will be displayed whenever someone requests information on the nickname with the INFO command.
SET FACEBOOK FacebookID
Associates the given Facebook Name with your nickname. This address will be displayed whenever someone requests information on the nickname with the INFO command.
SET GREET message
Makes the given message the greet of your nickname, that will be displayed when joining a channel that has GREET option enabled, provided that you have the necessary access on it.
SET HIDE {EMAIL | STATUS | USERMASK | QUIT} {ON | OFF}
Allows you to prevent certain pieces of information from being displayed when someone does a NickServ INFO on your nick. You can hide your E-mail address (EMAIL), last seen user@host mask (USERMASK), your services access status (STATUS) and last quit message (QUIT). The second parameter specifies whether the information should be displayed (OFF) or hidden (ON).
SET KEEPMODES {ON | OFF}
Enables or disables keepmodes for your nick. If keep modes is enabled, services will remember your usermodes and attempt to re-set them the next time you authenticate.
SET KILL {ON | QUICK | IMMED | OFF}
Turns the automatic protection option for your nick on or off. With protection on, if another user tries to take your nick, they will be given one minute to change to another nick, after which NickServ will forcibly change their nick.
If you select QUICK, the user will be given only 20 seconds to change nicks instead of the usual 60. If you select IMMED, the user’s nick will be changed immediately without being warned first or given a chance to change their nick; please do not use this option unless necessary.
SET LANGUAGE language
Changes the language Services uses when sending messages to you (for example, when responding to a command you send).
Language should be chosen from the following list of supported languages: en_us (English) ca_ES.UTF-8 (Catala) de_DE.UTF-8 (Deutsch) el_GR.UTF-8 (Ελληνικά) es_ES.UTF-8 (Español) fr_FR.UTF-8 (Français) hu_HU.UTF-8 (Magyar) it_IT.UTF-8 (Italiano) nl_NL.UTF-8 (Nederlands) pl_PL.UTF-8 (Polski) pt_PT.UTF-8 (Português) ru_RU.UTF-8 (Русский) tr_TR.UTF-8 (Türkçe)
SET PASSWORD new-password
Changes the password used to identify you as the nick’s owner.
SET PRIVATE {ON | OFF}
Turns NickServ’s privacy option on or off for your nick. With PRIVATE set, your nickname will not appear in nickname lists generated with NickServ’s LIST command. (However, anyone who knows your nickname can still get information on it using the INFO command.)
SET SECURE {ON | OFF}
Turns NickServ’s security features on or off for your nick. With SECURE set, you must enter your password before you will be recognized as the owner of the nick, regardless of whether your address is on the access list. However, if you are on the access list, NickServ will not auto-kill you regardless of the setting of the KILL option.
SET TWITTER twitter-handle
Associates the given twitter handle with your nickname. This address will be displayed whenever someone requests information on the nickname with the INFO command.
