Send a lightweight notice to a user or channel. Unlike /msg, notices don't open a PM window on the recipient's side and don't trigger notification sounds.
Syntax
/notice <target> <message>
Parameters
target
— A nickname or #channel to send the notice to.message
— The notice text.
How It Works
Notices appear with a distinctive -YourNick-
prefix (instead of the usual <YourNick>). They are designed for automated messages and informational announcements that shouldn't interrupt the recipient. Channel notices always appear in the channel window. User notices appear according to the recipient's
/notice_routing
preference.
Rules & Limits
- Both target and message are required
- Does not create PM windows or conversations sidebar entries
- Does not trigger notification sounds or highlights
