AndroidIRCX includes powerful user management features: Ignore List, Blacklist, User Notes, and Aliases.

Several features act on users - here is when to use each:

• Ignore - hide someone's messages from your own view. Local only; they don't know, and others still see them.
• Blacklist - automatically act (ban, kick+ban, or run a command) when a matching user joins a channel where you have ops.
• Notify / Monitor - get alerted when a specific user comes online (uses IRCv3 MONITOR).
• User Lists (Notify, AutoOp, AutoVoice, Protected) - automatically op, voice, or protect specific trusted users.

Notes and aliases below are just labels you attach to a nick for your own reference.

The Ignore List prevents messages from specific users from appearing in your view.

1. Long-press on a user's nick in the user list or message area
2. Select "Ignore User" from the context menu
3. Or go to Settings > Users & Services > Ignore List

You can ignore by:

• Exact nick: Spammer
• Wildcard host: *!*@spammer.example.com
• Partial match: *bot* (ignores any nick containing "bot")

• View ignored users: Settings > Users & Services > Ignore List
• Unignore: Tap the user in the list and select "Remove"
• Ignores are saved per-network

The Blacklist automatically performs actions when blacklisted users join channels.

When a matching user joins, you can automatically:

• Ignore: Local ignore (same as Ignore List)
• Ban: Ban the user from the channel
• Kick + Ban: Remove and ban the user
• Kill: Disconnect the user from the server (requires oper)
• OperServ Kill: Kill via services (requires oper)
• AKILL: Network-wide ban (requires oper)
• GLINE: G-line the user (requires oper)
• SHUN: Silence the user (requires oper)
• Custom Command: Run any IRC command

1. Long-press a user's nick → "Blacklist Nick"
2. Or go to Settings > Users & Services > Blacklist
3. Tap "+ Add"
4. Enter mask pattern:
   • nick - Match exact nick
   • *!*@host.com - Match by hostname
   • *!*@*.tor-exit.* - Wildcard patterns work
5. Select action type
6. Set duration (for AKILL/GLINE/SHUN)
7. Add reason (optional)

When using "Ban" or "Kick + Ban" action:

• 0: *!user@host - Ban by ident@host
• 1: *!*user@host - Ban by *user@host
• 2: *!*@host - Ban by host only (default)
• 3: *!*user@*.host - Ban by user@.domain
• 4: *!*@*.host - Ban by *.domain
• 5: nick!user@host - Exact match
• 6-11: Various combinations

For AKILL/GLINE/SHUN, customize the command template:

1. Go to Blacklist → "Templates" button
2. Edit templates for your network
3. Available variables:
   • {mask} - Full mask (nick!user@host)
   • {usermask} - User@host part
   • {hostmask} - Host only
   • {nick} - Nick only
   • {user} - Ident/username
   • {host} - Hostname
   • {reason} - Your reason
   • {duration} - Duration string

Add private notes to users that only you can see.

1. Long-press user's nick → "Add Note" or "Edit Note"
2. Enter your note
3. Notes are saved per-network

• Notes appear in WHOIS display
• Long-press user → "Add Note" shows existing note

Create alternate names for users.

1. Long-press user's nick → "Add Alias"
2. Enter the alias name
3. Use alias in commands: /msg @alias message

• View all aliases: Settings > Users & Services > User Aliases
• Remove: Tap alias → "Delete"

• Blacklist and Ignore are separate systems
