+======Description:======
+The __IGNORE__ command arranges for unwanted messages you get from IRC to be handled quietly, without any display to your windows.
+Each __IGNORE__ rule ignores a //thing// against one or more //levels//.  You can __ignore__ another person on irc (using a wildcard pattern that matches their nick!user@host).  You can __ignore__ a server (such as a network service), and you can __ignore__ a channel.  You can __ignore__ [[levels]] for messages from that person, server, or channel.
+For example, you could ignore [[MSG]]s from a person who is bugging you, or you could ignore [[JOIN]]s and [[PARTS]]s from a channel that you don't care about who is on the channel.
+__IGNORE__ rules can overlap each other (for example, *!*@*.net *!*foobar@*.slurpee.net), which permits layered handling.  The __IGNORE__ rule that "wins" is the longest one (wildcard chars do not count).  So if you got a message from hop!hoop@boop.net, it would match the first rule.  And if you got a message from bloop!~foobar@pixel.slurpee.net, it would match the second one (even though it matches both patterns, the second one is longer)
+Using __IGNORE__ with no arguments displays your ignore list.  This will
+include an ignore reference number, the pattern being ignored/highlighted,
+and the type of messages that shall be ignored/highlighted.  Optionally,
+a ignore reason and timeout may be included.
+Most, but not every ignore level works with channels.
+When you are trying to remove an ignore, you must specify the pattern
+exactly as it appears in your ignore list.  "Approximate" patterns will
+be treated as NEW patterns and will not supersede existing patterns.
+======Message Types:======
+See the [[levels]] help page for details.
+======Special Message Types:======
+These are not really message types, but they can be used in your
+message types list.
+REASON "<arg>"    Set a reason you're ignoring the person.
+TIMEOUT <number>  Automatically cancel the message after <number> seconds.
+======Examples:======
+To ignore everything from foobar:
+      /ignore foobar all
+To ignore everything except public conversation from foobar:
+      /ignore foobar all -publics
+To ignore all NOTICEs except those from foobar's site:
+      /ignore * notices
+      /ignore *!*@*.slurpee.net ^notices
+To remove *!*foobar@*.slurpee.net from your ignore list:
+      /ignore *!*foobar@*.slurpee.net none
