Operator Guidelines

As an operator you will have special powers. In order to become an operator for your channel, use the command:

/msg chanserv op #channel-name your-nick

When you no longer need operator powers then you can remove them using this command:

/msg chanserv deop #channel-name your-nick

Here are some points to remember when enabling operator status:

Stay friendly

Know the channels

Don't stay +o for long

Don't use ignore

Ban on sight

Clean your bans regularly

Comment on your bans

Don't retaliate

When to ban/kick someone

This is a summary of the current ad-hoc policy used by the operators. Please do not change this list before discussing on the mailinglist. And if you want to change it, please don't hesitate to come to our list.

This is not an exclusive list. Operators are expected to have some common sense and to seek for additional opinions when in doubt. The term trolling has explicitly been left undefined, the common sense will have to be used there. Examples of trolling:

Accidents happen

After staying in #ubuntu for a while, ops tend to get a bit trigger-happy. Don't forget that accidents do happen. Please don't put too severe punishments on accidental mishaps.

Other tips
