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.

CHANGING A CHANNEL ACCESS LIST

ACCESS

The access list specifies which users are allowed chanop status or access to ChanServ commands on the channel. Different user levels allow for access to different subsets of privileges; /msg ChanServ HELP ACCESS LEVELS for more specific information. Any nickname not on the access list has a user level of 0.

The ACCESS ADD command adds the given nickname to the access list with the given user level; if the nick is already present on the list, its access level is changed to the level specified in the command. The level specified must be less than that of the user giving the command.

   Syntax:
   ACCESS #channel ADD nickname level
   ACCESS #channel DEL {nickname | entry-num | list}
   ACCESS #channel LIST [mask | list]
   ACCESS #channel COUNT

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.

    Syntax:
    SOP #channel ADD nickname
    SOP #channel DEL nickname
    SOP #channel LIST [mask | list]
    SOP #channel COUNT

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.
