ChanServ allows you to register and control various aspects of channels. ChanServ can often prevent malicious users from "taking over" channels by limiting who is allowed channel operator privileges.

Note that any channel which is not used for 14 days (i.e. which no user on the channel's access list enters for that period of time) will be automatically dropped.

To use a ChanServ command, type /cs command.

ACCESS COMMANDS

Used to maintain the channel's access list.

ACCESS

SOP

Used to maintain the channel's SOP(&) list. Users with SOP status are automatically opped (set mode +o) and protected (mode +a) when they join the channel if they have identified with NickServ.

A SOP can modify the AOP, HOP and VOP lists. Only a channel's founder can modify the SOP list.

    SOP channel {ADD | DEL | LIST | COUNT} [nickname | entry-list]

AOP

Used to maintain the channel's AOP(@) list. If someone is on a channel's AOP list, they will automatically gain a @ when joining the channel if they have identified with NickServ.

HOP

Used to maintain the channel's HOP(%) list. If someone is on a channel's HOP list, they will automatically gain a % when joining the channel if they have identified with NickServ.

VOP

Used to maintain the channel's VOP(+) list. If someone is on a channel's VOP list, they will automatically gain a + when joining the channel if they have identified with NickServ.
