Description

Ignores nicknames or text that matches a pattern.

The special level ‘NO_ACT’ can be used to ignore activity in the statusbar without actually ignoring the message; this behavior is somewhat special because it is allowed in addition to other ignores for the same target. The special level ‘HIDDEN’ can be used to hide matching messages that can later be revealed using /WINDOW HIDELEVEL -HIDDEN The special level ‘NOHILIGHT’ can be used to suppress hilights without actually ignoring the message.
