I haven't been able to find any reasonable meaning in the phrase _"one day nicknames will be obsolete and the equivalent property will be the channel"_. It means nothing, and nicknames are just as relevant as they've always been.

In addition, the described message format for both channel and user modes is incorrect (`'+'` and `'-'` are now allowed at any point in a modestring).

For a wildly more accurate definition of this command, see [here](https://modern.ircdocs.horse/#mode-message).

<h4><a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1459#section-4.2.3.1">4.2.3.1 - Channel modes</a></h4>

As noted above, the message format is incorrect as `'+'` and `'-'` are now allowed anywhere in a modestring.

The specific list of channel modes here is outdated – 'private' is no longer standard, and there are a few more standard modes out there. See [here](https://modern.ircdocs.horse/#channel-modes) for an updated list.

There are now several 'types' of channel modes which are defined with the [`CHANMODES`](https://modern.ircdocs.horse/#chanmodes-parameter) RPL_ISUPPORT token. See [here](https://modern.ircdocs.horse/#mode-message) for further discussion on this and how it's implemented today.
