So i’ve been struggling with it for a while now. Every time i log in to a IRC network Linkinus opens a bunch of queries with the replies of the various services and other crappy bots that roam around on the channels there. Telling me i’m logged in or what they can do to make my life “easier” and so on.
Today i got fed up with closing those queries so me and some guys on the #linkinus channel went to set things up for me the right way. They suggested that any login command to nickserv would be run with /smsg instead of /msg.
So where i used:
/msg nickserv identify password ******
I now use:
/smsg nickserv identify password ******
This means no queries get opened from my side. However when the bot or service replies success or failure it still opens that query. This was after some poking in the linkinus preferences solved by redirecting any reply to the console.
Check the 3 checkmarks inside the red area. To redirect any stuff to the console. And voila! No rubbish queries anymore!

You’re welcome by the way. :)
I believe that the first option “Redirect incoming notices to the console” is not needed for your desired effect, some users might enjoy having notices still displayed in whatever channel they are. The options underneath that though are needed. Looking at the ordering, I believe Nico needs to add some options and reorganize them since someone may want to redirect all CTCP requests but not replay to all of them.

yea true, thats an option…
however i want to read chat and join/quit messages, not the other stuff. So for me, and i think a lot of other users the setting i use now would suffice for their wishes.
