Can't seem to make /oper work
reddit / irc

I just set up an IRC server for personal use, but for some reason
logging in with /oper doesn't seem to do anything, no matter what
client I use. When I use it to log in, the server says

    irc.example.com sets mode +o on myUsername

But I can't actually do any moderator stuff. For example, if I try to
kick someone from #general, it says

    #general :You must be a channel half-operator

Am I just being fantastically moronic? I'm running inspircd 2.0.27,
and I've just edited the basic .conf file. the <oper> block is set to:

    <oper name="my_name"
        password="password"
        host="*"
        type="NetAdmin">

If anyone could help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

being umode +o doesnt make you a god. It gives you access to tools
that allow you to override channel access. Look into the /sa* series
of commands, such as sakick and samode

okay, how do I configure my server so that logging in as admin will
give me full control permissions?

You have `/sa*` commands which are more than enough to do anything in
any channel. IRC operators exist to clean up issues that regular ops
and users cannot deal with themselves.

if you *really* want that, I'd suggest looking into the operjoin
module. Or the operprefix module. /sa* commands should give you all
the control you need though. You can do anything with them.

Maybe use/write aliases/scripts/... to transform your regular commands
into SA commands?
