Channel Management 101
Ownermode and Protectmode
- If you want owner (
~
), enable ownermode:/msg ChanServ SET #channel OWNERMODE ON
- If you want protect/admin (
&
), enable protectmode:/msg ChanServ SET #channel PROTECTMODE ON
After those commands, rejoin the channel or say /msg ChanServ SYNC #channel
Managing Channel Access
There are three different types of systems to manage who has access on your channel:
By default, channels use xOP since it is the simplest, so the other two aren't relevant unless you want more control.
xOP
The xOP system is the default form of access on Rizon.
Each user is assigned a certain level, which automatically grants them a status on the channel:
- VOP corresponds to a voice:
+
- HOP corresponds to a halfop:
%
- AOP corresponds to an op:
@
- SOP corresponds to a protectop:
&
Important: Every level can add or delete people to levels below them. (E.g., a SOP can add VOPs, HOPs and AOPs; a HOP can only add VOPs). The founder can change all levels.
Viewing xOPs
To look through the xOP list to see which user has what level, type:
/msg ChanServ ACCESS #channel LIST
Adding and Removing xOPs
VOP | HOP | AOP | SOP | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Add xOP | /msg ChanServ VOP #channel ADD nick
|
/msg ChanServ HOP #channel ADD nick
|
/msg ChanServ AOP #channel ADD nick
|
/msg ChanServ SOP #channel ADD nick
|
Remove xOP | /msg ChanServ VOP #channel DELETE nick
|
/msg ChanServ HOP #channel DELETE nick
|
/msg ChanServ AOP #channel DELETE nick
|
/msg ChanServ SOP #channel DELETE nick
|
All VOPs get a voice (+ ) in the channel upon entering it, and as a result will be able to chat in the channel even while the channel is moderated (channel mode +m ).
|
All HOPs get a halfop (% ) in the channel upon entering it, and will be allowed to kick/ban all users that have halfop status or below. They will also be able to give voice (+ ) and halfop (% ) to other users, as well as taking it away. However, if the channel is set to paranoia (channel mode +p ), they will not be able to kick other halfops, or fiddle around with +h /-h . They also have the power to set the channel topic, even if channel mode +t (topic lock) is set.
|
All AOPs get op (@ ) status in the channel upon entering it, and will be allowed to kick/ban all users that have op status or below. They will also be able to give voice (+ ), halfop (% ), as well as op (@ ) to other users, and also have the power to take the mode away.
|
All SOPs get protectop (& ) status in the channel upon entering it, and will be allowed to kick/ban all users that have op status or below. They will also be able to give voice (+ ), halfop (% ), as well as op (@ ) to other users, and also have the power to take the mode away.
Additionally, protectops cannot be kicked from the channel, unless the kick is from a channel owner ( |
ACCESS
The numerical level system, ACCESS, gives you more flexibility.
Each user is assigned a number (from 1 to 9999) and has dominance over users with a lower numbers. You then can specify what each number has the power to do; e.g., level 3 and up can KICK.
If you want to auto-voice everyone who joins the channel, you must use ACCESS.
FLAGS
FLAGS is the most powerful of all the systems, but also the most complex.
Each user is assigned a list of flags which allow them to do specific things in the channel; e.g., use KICK, use TOPIC, … etc.
BotServ
When you own a channel, you are able to bring in a Rizon-provided bot.
A BotServ bot allows you to use ChanServ commands by talking in the channel, like saying .kick Joe
would be the same as /msg ChanServ KICK #channel Joe
Start by looking through the botlist for any specific bot you want assigned: /msg BotServ BOTLIST
Once you find one that you like, assign it with: /msg BotServ ASSIGN #channel bot
Wrapping Up
There are many other channel modes you can set, feel free to take a look at Channel Modes.
There are all sorts of neat and useful things that can be done with ChanServ. To learn more, type:
/msg ChanServ HELP
For information regarding the addition of Trivia, Quotes, LimitServ, Internets, e-Sim, or eRepublik bots in your channel, read about the available FunServ bots and their features, or /msg FunServ HELP
which covers everything in this document and more.
