How can I set status messages in IRC? A simple guide for learning IRC would also be helpful.

The standard command is /away [your away message]. Then /away again to let people know you're back. I think this is a good start for learning IRC: http://www.mirc.com/ircintro.html
You can do something like /away
to set yourself as being away. For instance:
/away Not here right now
This will make it appear to others that you are away, and if they PM you, they will get a message somewhat like this:
Menopia is away. Reason: Not here right now
You can also use the /me
command to denote doing something. For instance:
/me does something
Will appear to others in the channel/PM as something like:
* Menopia does something

is there a comment that would just set my status (in my /whois and direct messages) and not spam all channels that I am in? Maybe its diturbing if I change this a lot Commented Oct 4, 2017 at 11:49
