Internet Relay Chat services (usually called IRC services) is a name for a set of features implemented on many modern Internet Relay Chat networks. Services are automated bots with special status which are generally used to provide users with access with certain privileges and protection. They usually implement some sort of login system so that only people on the access control list can obtain these services.

“A few more days, and this essay will follow the Defensio Populi to the dust and silence of the upper shelf....

—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
“Those services which the community will most readily pay for, it is most disagreeable to render.”
