* Channel modes.
** Invite-Only channel.
An Invite-Only channel can only be joined if you are invited by one of its
channel operators.
To make your channel invite-only:
irc> /mode #channel +i
To invite users to the channel:
irc> /invite user #channel
** Private channels.
Private channels turn up normally in the channels list. People can see you are
on a private channel somewhere, but they can never find out on -which- private
channel you are unless they search all (private) channels by brute force.
To make your channel private:
irc> /mode #channel +p
** Secret channels.
Secret channels do not show up in a channels list and you cannot find out its
topic unless you join it. If you are on a secret channel, someone who is not
on the same channel can't see that you are there.
To make your channel secret:
irc> /mode #channel +s
* How make chanal for private discuss?
Create new channel and set it invite-only and invite all you need. Or make
password protected channel.
