 v [nickname]       Gives voice to [nickname], allowing them to speak
                    while the channel is +m.
 h [nickname]       Gives halfop status to [nickname] (this mode can
                    be disabled).
 o [nickname]       Gives op status to [nickname].
 a [nickname]       Gives protected status to [nickname], preventing
                    them from them from being kicked (+q only,

                    (requires chanfilter module).

                    from messaging it.
 p                  Make channel private, hiding it in user's whoises
                    and replacing it with * in /LIST.

                    (requires services account module).
 s                  Make channel secret, hiding it in user's whoises
                    and /LIST.

                    topic.

                    see themselves or themselves and the operators,
                    while operators see all the users (requires
                    auditorium module).
 z                  Blocks non-SSL clients from joining the channel.

                    specified rate (requires nickflood module).

 J [seconds]        Prevents rejoin after kick for the specified
                    number of seconds. This prevents auto-rejoin
                    (requires kicknorejoin module).
 K                  Blocks /KNOCK on the channel.
 L [channel]        If the channel reaches its limit set by +l,
                    redirect users to [channel] (requires redirect
                    module).

 O                  Channel is IRCops only (can only be set by IRCops,
                    requires operchans module).
 P                  Makes the channel permanent; Bans, invites, the
                    topic, modes, and such will not be lost when it
                    empties (can only be set by IRCops, requires
                    permchannels module).
 Q                  Only ulined servers and their users can kick
                    (requires nokicks module)
 R                  Blocks unregistered users from joining (requires
                    services account module).
 S                  Strips mIRC colour codes from messages to the
                    channel (requirs stripcolor module).

                    not at least halfop (requires nonotice module).
