|
In case you wish network operators to help you when your channel operators
|
|
are away, please authorize them to do so. You can do this simply by
|
|
command `/msg ChanServ flags #channel $oper +vhoirtAe`. _Note that this
|
|
assumes that your network uses Atheme with exttarget $oper loaded._
|
|
|
|
If you don't do this and there is trouble on your channel, it can be
|
|
assumed that you don't want network operators to intervene and they most
|
|
likely take no action. Taking action would also require using operator
|
|
privileges such as `/samode` which might not be so nice unless the flags
|
|
are set.
|
|
|
|
I repeat that the commnd is `/msg ChanServ flags #channel $oper +vhoirtAe`.
|
|
The only thing that must be changed is `#channel`.
|
|
|
|
## Explanation of these flags
|
|
|
|
- v - allows using voice/devoice commands
|
|
- h - allows using halfop/dehalfop commands
|
|
- o - allows using op/deop commands
|
|
- i - allows using invite/getkey commands
|
|
- r - allows using kick/kickban/ban/unban commands
|
|
- t - allows using topic/topicappend commands
|
|
- A - allows seeing channel access lists and (MemoServ) sendops command
|
|
- most of our alerts seem to be coming from opers who are accidentally
|
|
using their priviledges and seeing access list of channel they have
|
|
no access to.
|
|
- `<ChanServ> Mikaela ACCESS:LIST: #channel (oper override)`
|
|
- e - exempts from akick and allows unbanning yourself
|
|
|
|
**NOTE THAT FLAGS ARE CASE-SENSITIVE**
|
|
|
|
### Effects of misspelled flags
|
|
|
|
Some flags change their meaning if written with wrong case:
|
|
|
|
- V - automatic voice and allows using voice/devoice on yourself
|
|
- H - automatic halfop and allows using halfop/dehalfop on yourself
|
|
- O - automatic op and allows using op/deop on yourself
|
|
- R - allows using recover, sync and clear commands
|
|
- recover - deop everyone, remove key, invite yourself, add ban
|
|
exception on yourself, unban yourself, set modes +im (invite-only,
|
|
only voiced users can talk), op yourself and other fun...
|
|
- sync - sync the channel according to access list
|
|
- clear - allows clearing akicks (+b flags), bans, flags, users
|
|
(=kick everyone)
|
|
- a - allows using protect/deprotect commands
|
|
- protect is sometimes also known as admin and is higher than op, but
|
|
lower than owner/founder. Combine with +O to make it automatic.
|
|
|
|
So you don't want to accidentally confuse different letters. `+VHO` aren't
|
|
so dangerous and you can freely set them, but avoid confusing +r and +R and
|
|
avoiding confusing +A and +a can also be a good idea.
|
|
|
|
## One last note
|
|
|
|
`$oper` matches everyone who is opered and requires Atheme to have
|
|
exttarget $oper loaded. Some other networks use different ways to add opers
|
|
to be on access list.
