ignore

Syntax

IGNORE [-regexp | -full] [-pattern <pattern>] [-except] [-replies] [-network <network>] [-channels <channel>] [-time <secs>] <mask> [<levels>]
IGNORE [-regexp | -full] [-pattern <pattern>] [-except] [-replies] [-network <network>] [-time <secs>] <channels> [<levels>]

Parameters

-regexp:

Indicates that the pattern is a regular expression.

-full:

Indicates that the pattern must match a full word.

-pattern:

The text pattern to ignore.

-except:

Negates the ignore.

-replies:

Also ignore nicknames who are talking to anyone who matches the ignore.

-network:

Ignores only on a specific network.

-channels:

Ignores only on specific channels.

-time:

The timeout to automatically remove the ignore.

The mask, channels and levels to ignore; if no argument is provided, the list of ignores will be displayed.

Description

Ignores nicknames or text that matches a pattern.

The special level ‘NO_ACT’ can be used to ignore activity in the statusbar without actually ignoring the message; this behavior is somewhat special because it is allowed in addition to other ignores for the same target.
