The channel invite system allows operators of invite-only (+i) channels to invite specific users to join. Invited users receive a retro-style dialog with Join and Ignore options.
How It Works
1. An operator uses /invite <nickname>
to invite a user.
2. The invited user sees a popup dialog with the inviter's name and channel.
3. Clicking
Join
joins the channel. Clicking Ignore
dismisses the dialog.
4. Invitations expire after 5 minutes if not accepted.
Auto-Join on Invite
Users can enable auto-join with /invite auto. When enabled, incoming invitations are accepted automatically without showing a dialog. This is disabled by default for security.
Requirements
Only channel operators can send invites. The channel must have +i (invite-only) mode set. The target user must be online and not already in the channel.
