There is any IRC command to ignore a person?

Question

I want to clear my IRC channel view from a certain bot messages. It is possible?

In http://webchat.freenode.net/ i can't ignore a bot with /ignore. How can I do it?

let me guess... sobot? – R. Martinho Fernandes Jul 17 '09 at 14:23 — R. Martinho Fernandes, Jul 17 '09 at 14:23

Yes, just use the /ignore [user] command.

A bit of extra info, you can also do /ignore user@host or /ignore *@host which is useful if people change nicks

The IRC protocol doesn't provide any commands for this. Certain programs that use the protocol have ignore features while others don't.

This is orthogonal. 'ignore' may or may not be part of the protocol. – Dogweather Jan 02 '14 at 06:15

Try

/ignore (botname) chan

or

/ignore (botname) all

The first ignores in channel, the second says in all situations.

/ignore -c user*!@*

For Example:

/ignore -c XDCCBOT*!@* will ignore all users with XDCCBOT prefix. I.e. XDCCBOT1234@anyhost.com

The -c flag is to ignore messages from user sent to the Channel only, and you will still be able to recieve CTCP/DCC replies etc.
