Tutorial: build a moderation team
Share the work safely.
Operators only. This section is for IRC operators.
- Founder: you. Keep the founder nickname private and strongly protected.
- SOPs: one or two deputies who may add and remove helpers.
/cs SOP #room ADD deputy. - AOPs: your active moderators.
/cs AOP #room ADD mod1. - VOPs: trusted regulars.
- UOPs: members you want to be able to join even in restricted rooms.
Rules for the team
- Only registered, identified nicknames are on the lists. Check with
/cs WHY #room nick. - Warn, kick, ban, in that order.
- Say why in the kick reason.
- Do not leave people opped who are no longer active:
/cs AOP #room DEL nick.
When trust breaks
irc
/cs MDEOP #room /cs AOP #room WIPE /cs SET #room FOUNDER safenick
MDEOP takes everyone's operator status away, WIPE clears a list (SOP or founder), and FOUNDER hands the room over.
