/cs

Manage channel registration and access lists through ChanServ, the channel services bot. ChanServ keeps your channel settings safe even when no operators are online.

Syntax

/cs <subcommand> [arguments]

How It Works

ChanServ is an automated service that manages channel ownership and access. When you register a channel, ChanServ remembers who owns it and who has operator privileges, automatically restoring them when those users join. This prevents channels from becoming "ownerless" when operators disconnect.

Subcommands

register <#channel> — Register and claim ownership of a channel (you must be operator).
drop <#channel> — Unregister a channel, giving up ownership.
info <#channel> — View channel registration details.
sop <#channel> add/del/list <nick> — Manage Super Operators (can manage all access lists).
aop <#channel> add/del/list <nick> — Manage Auto Operators (get operator on join).
vop <#channel> add/del/list <nick> — Manage Auto Voice (get voice on join).

Rules & Limits

  • You must be a registered user to use ChanServ
  • You must be a channel operator to register a channel
  • Access hierarchy: Owner > SOP > AOP > VOP

Examples

/cs register #mychannel
/cs info #mychannel
/cs aop #mychannel add Alice
/cs aop #mychannel list
/cs vop #mychannel add Bob
/cs drop #mychannel
