Hi,
Does anyone know if you can find out who has put you on their watch
list? I’ve done /watch s and it says I’m on someone’s list. Thanks

What network/server is it?

As far as I am aware, a watchlist is a client side thing only.
Watchlist information is not sent over an IRC server. The only way
someone would know if you were added to a Watch list is if you have
some stupid annoying script that announces it publicly.

Some ircds support the [MONITOR
extension](https://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/monitor.html), which is
a server-side watch list. Clients will often detect this support and
transparently map their client-side watchlist into using the server-
side commands.

MONITOR does not support listing who has added you to their lists, or
even indicating whether or not anyone has. If an ircd is revealing
this info, it’s a custom non-standard thing.
