**Note:** ALL channels on the network have the `+s` *(secret)* mode by locked on by default, making them hidden from `/LIST`. You can request to have your channel set to `-s` to make it visible, but this is only granted to channels that are actively being used and have a substantial user base. Small private channels with only 2-3 people will remain secret.
