# Scripts for managing PPFI channels on PirateIRC

The original list of channels comes from where `MI1` is according to oper
`WHOIS` and should match `kanavat.csv` with exceptions of secret channels and
those not (fully) belonging to Pirate Party of Finland.

The scripts only generate lines that should be copy-pasted to a IRC client for
anything to actually happen. They are provided
[missing GroupServ](https://github.com/ergochat/ergo/issues/465) in hope that
PPFI is able to operate IRC without @Mikaela constantly present.

- `./generate-amode-cmds.bash +o MI1` - giving user `MI1` op on all channels
  which will persist and be granted on join. **_Prefer this script._**
- `./generate-oper-override-mode.bash +o MI1` - the same, except requires
  operator permission, allows unregistered accounts and doesn't persist over
  `/cycle` whether manual or connection loss or similar. **_Use only in
  emergency and even in emergency, and even then prefer amoding yourself with
  the previous script and then using the next script._**
- `./generate-usual-mode-cmds.bash +o MI1` - non-oper version of the previous
  script, generates normal `/mode` commands within the usual permission system
  most likely requiring being op (use the amode script for that, see drawbacks
  of the previous script).
