- /whois USERNAME
- Various flags (note that these apply to the Fan History IRC channel and may vary for other Freenode channels). To set, use /cs flags #fanhistory <username> and the code below.
- None = default for anyone off the street
- +votiA = ops
- +votsriRfA - able to set access levels.

[edit] Tips
- /msg ChanServ and /msg NickServ can be replaced with /cs and /ns respectively on some clients.
- To find a hostmask type /whois NAME, then take the IP, which should look like n=43a17003@66.135.33.98 and add an exclamation point so it looks like
Nick!n=43a17003@66.135.33.98 - /join and /server will not work from the wikihow CGI:IRC client.
- To undo a channel mode, such as a ban, quiet, or moderation, use - instead of +.
- Kicking and removing a user produces a very similar effect, except that removes usually disable auto-rejoin.
- Replace "#channel" with the current channel you are in that you have operator status in.
