= Advanced ChanServ: Channel Mode Locking =
== Introduction ==
ChanServ allows you to define certain channel modes to be always on (or off). The modes that can be locked are `i`, `k`, `l`, `m`, `n`, `p`, `s`, and `t`; each of these modes can be locked on, locked off, or not locked.

For more information about channel modes see ChannelModes/Standard.

=== Basic Syntax ===

{{{
/msg ChanServ SET <#channel> MLOCK <mode>
}}}

Always Locked mode/s Syntax:

{{{  
Example: /msg ChanServ SET <#channel> MLOCK +i         (Forces the channel to always be invite-only)
         /msg ChanServ SET <#channel> MLOCK +ip        (Forces the channel to always be invite-only and private)
         /msg ChanServ SET <#channel> MLOCK +k <pass>  (Forces the channel to require the key "Pass" to enter)
}}}

Always Unlock mode/s Syntax:

{{{  
Example: /msg ChanServ SET <#channel> MLOCK -i         (Forces the channel to never be invite-only)
         /msg ChanServ SET <#channel> MLOCK -ip        (Forces the channel to never be invite-only and private) 
}}}

Combination Lock/Unlock mode/s Syntax:

{{{  
Example: /msg ChanServ SET <#channel> MLOCK -i+p       (Forces the channel to never be invite-only and always private )
          
}}}

To remove all locked modes, use this command:

{{{  
/msg ChanServ SET <#channel> MLOCK + 
}}}
