First run on managing a channel reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Cyberkaneda · 2021-11-03 18:45 Hey guys I'm a little bit new on irc and can't understand some behaviors, I'm actually on Libera since Rizon made my connections +r, so my questions are, if I may ask and don't waste much of your time: 1. why when I /quit and close my client(irssi) and open again, I had my privileges lost, like /quit implies /part on all channels, and lost even owner, admin privileges, even being the founder? 2. So anyone can just takeover my channel if I'm not online? And how this is not considered a correct behavior, like I know that ChanServ has things like insta OP commands but is not like if I join again I receive automatically owner privileges, op is just op. 3. ChanServ is a member of the channel, this is just for the service can give privilages, set modes, and stuff? thx in advance, peace. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- cities7 · 2021-11-03 19:39 if you identify with nickserv prior to joining, chanserv will probably auto op you. are you registered with nickserv and did you register your channel with chanserv? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- anths · 2021-11-03 20:33 On most networks, if there’s nobody in a channel, the channel disappears. So your elevated privileges go away because it’s a new chan when you get back. You almost certainly want to register your channel with ChanServ. That’ll let you regain the privileges you need on request. Generally, it’s considered best practice not to hang out with op privileges you don’t need, hence not auto-op by default. You can change that, which particularly useful in large public rooms, in particular. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thischildslife · 2021-11-04 03:18 You can change the modes on rizon. [Just read the channel wiki.](https://wiki.rizon.net/index.php?title=Channel_Modes) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Cyberkaneda · 2021-11-04 03:32 yes, I read more about and found this auto op behavior, the doc is clear I know, but here and there I got confused.
