Tip of the day: Channel mode +H provides Channel history to modern clients. Optionally, it can be stored on-disk to be preserved between server restarts.

Server protocol:SQLINE command
The SQLINE command is used to forbid/ban (usually for services to reserve their own nicks) nicknames and channels, supporting masks (Example of a mask: *Serv)
SQLINE still allows U-Lined servers to introduce the nick. This means that services can SQLINE their nicks and still use them, and others cannot. So if services were to go offline for a few minutes, it would not be possible to /NICK NickServ if there were an SQLINE matching NickServ
For server writers
Below is technical documentation for server/services coders:
Syntax
:server SQLINE nick/mask :Reason
You can also UNSQLINE (remove the Q-Line)
:server UNSQLINE nick/mask
Where:
- server: SID of the server where the command originated.
- nick/channel/mask: A nick, channel or mask to ban/reserve.
- Reason: The reason this has been forbidden from use by users.
Example
:123 SQLINE *Bot* :Bots are not allowed
How to use
An SQLINE is otherwise known as a Q-Line so, when you are linking and syncing, this will be expressed to your server as a TKL of type 'Q', and likewise can be set by your server using the TKL command. (See Server protocol:TKL command)
Purpose
The purpose of this command is for services packages to have and use the unified way of reserving their nicks and/or forbidding channels.
Module Coders
Module coders won't really need to worry about this U-Line command, and if you wish to reserve a username or channel, you should check out the functions the most up-to-date version of src/modules/tkl.c
