== How to use matrix as an IRC client to join #fsci ==
* See [https://gist.github.com/fstab/ce805d3001600ac147b79d413668770d this guide] for freenode specific instructions

# On Matrix, open a new chat (with Riot app this is the "+" sign on the bottom right)
# Invite @oftc-irc:matrix.org to the new chat
# Say !nick <yournick>
# A request for new chat with NickServ will pop up (if not invite @_oftc_NickServ:matrix.org). Accept it.
# Send "REGISTER <password> <email>" to register your nickname.
# "identify <password>" can be used to authenticate (in case the bridge reconnects)

== Fighting IRC spam ==

The following commands should be sent to '''@oftc-irc:matrix.org''' for OFTC channels or '''@appservice-irc:matrix.org''' for Freenode channels.

1. '''Quiet all unregistered users:'''
* From Matrix:
"!cmd MODE #<channel name> +q $~a"

* From IRC:
"/mode #<channel name> +q $~a"

2. '''Add Matrix users to the exemption list'''

* From Matrix:

** For Freenode:
"!cmd MODE #<channel name> +e *!*@gateway/shell/matrix.org/*"

** For OFTC:
"!cmd MODE #<channel name> +e *!*@2001:470:1af1:101:*"

* From IRC:

** For Freenode:
"/mode #<channel name> +e *!*@gateway/shell/matrix.org/*"

** For OFTC:
"/mode #<channel name> +e *!*@2001:470:1af1:101:*"

* See [https://gist.github.com/fstab/ce805d3001600ac147b79d413668770d this guide] for freenode specific instructions

# On Matrix, open a new chat (with Riot app this is the "+" sign on the bottom right)

== Fighting IRC spam ==

Send this "!cmd MODE #<channel name> +Me *!*@gateway/shell/matrix.org/*" to @appservice-irc:matrix.org to ban all unregistered nicks except matrix bridged users (for Freenode channels).

On OFTC "!cmd MODE #<channel name> +Me *!*@2001:470:1af1:101::*" to @oftc-irc:matrix.org (For OFTC channels), though it does not seem to work, more here https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/issues/716

If the above command does not work, quieting all unregistered nicks except Matrix users is another way.

The following commands should be sent to '''@oftc-irc:matrix.org''' for OFTC channels or '''@appservice-irc:matrix.org''' for Freenode channels.

1. '''Quiet all unregistered users:'''
* From Matrix:
"!cmd MODE #<channel name> +q $~a"

* From IRC:
"/mode #<channel name> +q $~a"

2. '''Add Matrix users to the exemption list'''

* From Matrix:

** For Freenode:
"!cmd MODE #<channel name> +e *!*@gateway/shell/matrix.org/*"

** For OFTC:
"!cmd MODE #<channel name> +e *!*@2001:470:1af1:101:*"

* From IRC:

** For Freenode:
"/mode #<channel name> +e *!*@gateway/shell/matrix.org/*"

** For OFTC:
"/mode #<channel name> +e *!*@2001:470:1af1:101:*"
