Hi,
Together with mjw I've made the (now auto-)op setup a tad more
robust.
lfam, rekado, and me can now request ops from ChanServ whenever
needed, and drop them again when not:
/msg ChanServ OP #gnuassembly NICK
/do thething
/msg ChanServ DEOP #gnuassembly NICK
Freenode recommends this workflow of not ‘flashing your badge’ in
daily conversation, and so do I. It's what we do on #guix.
You won't lose op when you disconnect.
These 3 are simply who was opped at the time. 4 others (mjw,
civodul, codonnel, and wingo) were already registered and remain
so.
I still hope we can avoid making the channel invite-only. Despite
my misgivings, here's the command for that:
/msg Chanserv set mlock #gnuassembly +i
This will restrict the channel to mjw, civodul, codonell, wingo,
nckx, rekado, and lfam: those with the +i flag in
/query ChanServ flags #gnuassembly
Others can be whitelisted by adding them to the +I list:
/mode #gnuassembly +I MASK
where MASK is the *!*@* you're either familiar with or need to
look up yourself ;-) Don't match only on nicknames (nick!*@*) as
they are easily spoofed.
Setting the /mode back to -I removes all invite restrictions and
makes the channel public once more.
Kind regards,
T G-R
