*This post should probably be outside of my blog, but I cannot think of
|
|
|
|
|
appropiate way to put it to wiki.*

I am going to assume that you already know what Matrix is, but you might
|
|
|
|
|
not know that moderator and power level 50 (AKA PL50) are the same thing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What PL50 can do is kicking/banning users (if their PL is less than of the
|
|
|
|
|
moderator) and changing topic. Adjusting PL of other users is reserved to
|
|
|
|
|
PL100.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Create a template ("MXMOD") for adding mods more easily later.
|
|
|
|
|
`/msg ChanServ TEMPLATE #channel MXMOD +AOt`.
|
|
|
|
|
* This allows the user to see the channel access list or flags with
|
|
|
|
|
ChanServ, get automatically opped or op themselves and change the
|
|
|
|
|
topic with ChanServ or by themselves if TOPICLOCK is enabled.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Optionally enable SECURE so users without `+o/+O` flag won't get opped
|
|
|
|
|
(and thus it won't sync to Matrix as PL50 if ops syncing is enabled
|
|
|
|
|
for the network): `/msg ChanServ SET #channel SECURE on`.
|
|
|
|
|
3. Actually op the mod
|
|
|
|
|
`/msg ChanServ FLAGS #channel moderatorUsername MXMOD`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why would you want to do this? If your moderator doesn't use IRC, but only
|
|
|
|
|
users Matrix, they won't need other flags than those. The ghost of the
|
|
|
|
|
moderator should be opped at IRC for actions such as kick and topic change
|
|
|
|
|
to sync.
