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).
The following commands should be sent to '''@oftc-irc:matrix.org''' for OFTC channels or '''@appservice-irc:matrix.org''' 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
''Unlist the room from directory'''
This effectively stops all mass spamming attacks.
* From Matrix:
    !cmd MODE #<channel name> +s


If the above command does not work, quieting all unregistered nicks except Matrix users is another way.
* From IRC:
 
    "/mode #<channel name> +s"
The following commands should be sent to '''@oftc-irc:matrix.org''' for OFTC channels or '''@appservice-irc:matrix.org''' for Freenode channels.
