+@SYNTAX:silence@
+
+Works only in the Undernet.
+
+SILENCE is similar in many respects to IGNORE, except that it is 
+server-based. What this means is the server will never even send 
+you messages from anyone you have SILENCEd, whereas it will with 
+IGNORE, where your client is responsible for filtering the messages 
+out. This has the advantage of not bogging your client down with 
+excessive data as it tries to filter out messages. 
+
+The default behavior is to SILENCE a nick!user@host pattern, and 
+if such a pattern is not passed as the argument, it must be prepended 
+with a plus ('+') to be added to your silence list. If a pattern is 
+prepended with a minus ('-'), it will be removed from your silence list. 
+If you only specify a nickname, you can list the patterns in the 
+silence list owned by that nickname. If no arguments are given, your 
+own silence list is displayed.
