Title

For some reason, the first person to join my test channel becomes an
operator without entering passwords or anything. I tested it on my
laptop and then my pc, both are using tor to join the channel so it
shouldn't matter that they are on the same network (I'm new to IRC so
I'm not too sure how everything works)

Any reason for this?

​

SOLUTION: removed o from defaultmodes option (wasnt set before, tried
setting it and that worked)

first user to join a channel gets ops.  that's the way it works.

Is there a way to make it so people HAVE to enter a password to be
oped?

if you have channel services on your network, the user can register
the channel. then they are opped when they authenticate. if you're not
running any kind of services then it works the way we said before.

I didn't change the defaultmodes option, which seems to default to nt
which I dont mind. However, when I explicitly told set it to nt, it is
now working. Thank you :)

New problem now... I can't figure out how to op myself now. I set the
password and hash type correctly, and I see the /oper command on the
documentation but typing it in chat does nothing and running help says
that the command doesnt exist... Am I doing something wrong?
