Networks usually have a services bots - they stay in permanently in a
channel and hand out ops, half-ops, voices etc according to a pre-set
rule. Colloquially they're known as a **Chanserv** bot (short for
Channel Services)

So when you rejoin - you get your ops back from the Chanserv bot.


There's typically a number of prerequisites.

Your channel needs to be registered with the network - that is usually
a sequence of commands to the ChanServ bot.

Once your channel is registered then the ChanServbot joins it and
stays in it, even when you leave.

The other pre-requisite is that your personal account is registered
with the network.

This means every time you join, your client is set up to send a login
command with your username and password to a **different** services
bot (NickServ) who authenticates you.

Then once your authenticated account joins your channel, the ChanServ
bot recognises it's you and gives you your OP status back.

Now - depending on which IRC network you're using, the names of the
bots and the precise commands used will vary.

Check their webpage and/or type

**/join #help**

That will take you to the help channel, where a bot or a helper will
be able to send you a guide or advise you on the exact commands needed
to register your nick, and then your channel.


A word of advice - IRC networks usually have a policy of removing
unused channels after a period of weeks or months.

So to stop your account being lost, log in periodically and/or use a
FreeBNC service to appear to be permanently connected (even when your
PC is offline)

in short. you need a bot to be in the server which gives you op when
you rejoin.

Stuff such as NickServ and ChanServ exist, I have a name registered
with NickServ, then I claim my channel with ChanServ

Not unless the server supports chanserv and nickserv.
