The X Service

The X Service (Undernet)

X is Undernet's channel-service robot. Registered channels use it as the referee: it remembers who has access, hands out ops, and enforces bans — even when no human op is around.

Logging in

If you have an X account (username + password from undernet.org), add your login as an On-Connect command in Settings:

/msg x@channels.undernet.org login yourname yourpass

With +x enabled, your address is hidden before you join any channel.

On a person (right-click in the member list → Channel Service)

• Op / Deop / Voice / Devoice via X — X changes their role
• Kick / Ban / Unban via X — with a popup for reason, duration and ban level
• Access level, Add to userlist, Suspend, Remove — manage who's on the channel's list

On a channel (right-click it in the sidebar → Channel Service)

• Channel Info, Access List, Ban List — ask X what it knows
• Set Topic, Invite Me, Op Me, Deop Me, Clear Modes

X channel settings (toolbar sliders → Channel Settings (X))

For channels you manage, a sheet drives X's per-channel options: AUTOJOIN (X rejoins after downtime), AUTOTOPIC (reset topic every 30 min), NOOP / STRICTOP (who may be opped), the floating user limit (FLOATLIM and friends), MASSDEOPPRO (anti-takeover), plus DESCRIPTION, URL and KEYWORDS. Each control explains itself in the sheet.

Your personal X options are there too: INVISIBLE (hide your X status), NOADDUSER (nobody can add you to channel lists), LANG (X's reply language).

When a channel won't let you in

Relay recognises the four refusals and offers the fix in a dialog:

Refusal	The fix Relay offers
Full (+l)	a Try Again button
Invite-only (+i)	Ask X for an Invite — then rejoins for you
Banned (+b)	Ask X to Unban Me — then rejoins for you
Needs a key (+k)	type the key right in the dialog and join

The X buttons work when you have access on that channel's userlist. If X ignores you, you're not on the list — ask a channel manager.
