*/ignore [-cdhiklnprtuNwxyCEI] <on | off | nick | address> [type] [channel(s)] [network]*

Ignore certain types of messages or all messages from a user.

/ignore with no parameters will show current [[$ignore|ignore]] status.

_If you do not specify a type then only the users nickname is used. If you specify a type then the users address is looked up via the server._
_The nick will not be hidden in the Nicklist, and join/part/quit/mode messages will not be ignored._
_If you have a query window open with the nick, the query messages will not be ignored until you close the query window._
_If the ignore doesn't seem to work, make sure ignored is enabled by typing /ignore on._
