Notices are a lightweight message type inspired by IRC's NOTICE command. They are used for announcements, service messages, and bot responses.
Key Characteristics
- Display with -Nick-
prefix (distinct from regular <Nick> messages)
- Shown in a distinct color for easy identification
- Do NOT create PM windows or conversations sidebar entries
- Do NOT trigger notification sounds or highlights
- The system must NEVER send automatic replies to notices (prevents bot loops)
Sending Notices
/notice <nickname> <message> /notice <#channel> <message>
Routing Preferences
Use /notice_routing
to configure where user-targeted notices appear. Channel notices always appear in the channel window regardless of routing settings.
Ignore Integration
Notices respect the ignore system. Use /ignore <nick> notices
to filter notices from a specific user, or /ignore <nick>
to filter all message types.
