If you have a (client) message tag in mind that is not supported out of the box:
- Check out https://modules.unrealircd.org/ to see if there's a 3rd party module for it. At the time of writing there are 3rd party modules for
+draft/reactand+draft/display-name. - Consider raising an issue on https://bugs.unrealircd.org/ for the tag, explaining why the message tag would be beneficial to the general audience and a link to the formal specification. Taking into account what has been said in this FAQ item.
- If you don't think the tag is useful to the general audience but is very specific to your network, then consider making a 3rd party module. You can peek at the existing 3rd party modules or official message tag modules. Things to keep in mind while coding such a module are: contain the length of the message tag and, if possible, the content. Other thoughts: think about what would happen if a client does not support the message tag and thus would not display it or take any action, would it cause confusion or issues? What if someone would flood witht his tag? You can also, optionally, create any other restrictions on the tag if you like, for example, requiring a services account, a certain mode, oper status, or whatever you like.
