/set password <newWord> or
/set password <oldWord> <newWord>
Register or modify a password. Once a password is
set your chat name can only be accessed by providing such password.
/set email <emailAddress>
Sets your e-mail address. This information is visible to your
friends only, and to the server administrator if he necessitates
to reach you. Best of all, it enables the server to forward messages
to you by email when you're not online.
/set visibility [ off | on ]
Makes you invisible from /who or /people commands.
/set exposetime [ off | on ]
Hides the information when you were last active also from your friends.
/set filter [ s(trangers) | off ]
Disables receiving messages from people that are neither your friends
nor in the same room with you. You can make friends using the rather
obvious /friend command.
/set home <homeRoom>
Sets your "home" room, a room you are sent to when you type /home.
** Profile: [ PLEINTFUL | TOP ]
/set name <yourNickname>
Changes the uppercase/lowercase style in which your name should be
displayed, so you can be sure your name will always appear in the
proper way even when people type your name in the wrong case.
/set publicpage http://<web-address>
lets you publish your homepage address. It appears whenever
someone clicks on your name.
/set keyfile http://<web-address>
invites you to store the address of your public key file, allowing
for encrypted communication to happen between you and your friends,
provided you are both using an encryption capable PSYC client,
or at least email.

/set greeting [ off | on | automatic ]
When you connect to psyced you are shown your last login data
which is useful for you to ensure nobody else connected to your
account in the meantime. You are also informed about your current
command character and a few other things. You can turn this greeting
information off using this setting. If you're a Jabber user, then these
greetings will be off by default, as it is unusual behaviour for Jabber
servers. In that case you may want to intentionally turn them on to
improve your safety.
/set speakaction <verb>
Lets you speak with a different verb than "says", for instance try
"whispers" or "yells".
/set visiblespeakaction [ on | off | mixed ]
If your IRC client shows actions in a nice way, you may want
to activate them!
/set commandcharacter <prefix>
Also accepted as cmdchar this setting allows you to change the
character that prefixes commands. The cmdchar normally is set
to / (slash) except for IRC users, for them it is a + (plus sign)
by default.
/set actioncharacter [ <prefix> | off ]
Also understood as actchar this setting allows you to change or
even disable the character that prefixes actions. The actchar
normally is set to : (colon). You can also produce actions by
issuing my popular /me command.
/set presencefilter [ on | off | all | automatic ]
Helps you limit the choice of friends' presence updates that
are shown to you. by default, automatic away messages are
filtered, whereas other types are shown. when this is set to
"on", only explicitly manually set away messages are shown.
by setting this value to "off" you can see any presence message
while the "all" setting will disable any display of presence messages.
You can still see who's on or away by looking at your buddy list however.
/set charset [ <character-set> | - ]
Some access technologies (telnet, applet, IRC) may need you to
set the client's character set manually. If your umlauts look all
wrong, try /set charset latin1. This setting will have no influence
on other access technologies. The system charset on this server is UTF-8.
/set timestamp [ on | off | - ]
The normal behaviour is to show timestamps with messages that
did not happen "just now." When turned "on," IRC clients will
receive CTCP TS messages instead of plain text timestamps.
/set echo [ off | on | automatic ]
Normally you will see everything you type echoed to your screen
so you can be sure they arrived safely. But you may prefer not
to see such echo. If you're using the IRC access port, then you
will automatically not receive any echo, since that's uncommon
on IRC, but you can switch it on explicitedly.
/set clearscreen [ on | off ]
Only applies to the telnet access. Hitting carriage return without
any other input will normally clear the terminal screen.
** Profile: [ ESSENTIAL | TOP ]

Shows everybody what your real name is.
/set telephone <phoneNumbers>
Is a good place to keep phone numbers for your friends to call you.
/set privatepage http://<web-address>
Allows you to set up a page just for your chat friends.
It will not be shown to chatters that haven't exchanged
/friend-ship with you.

A page that shows more photos of you. Will be linked to
your profile photo.

of your choice. The photo appears when you or your
friends use /surf to look at your profile.

A thumbnail size photo of yours, to be used for lists of friends.
