A - Server Administrator:
Server Administrator status. You need to be +o before you can set yourself +a, and your operator entry has to specify you as a services administrator. This will allow you access to super user status in services. You will be able to getpass and set other services options.

ChatOps:
This mode is used in order to see /chatops messages occurring on the server and network. Since globops should be reserved for very important oper-only messages, chatops alow opers to communicate about less important things. If an oper is very busy they might turn chatops off, but they should still remain +g. Exactly how chatops are used will depend on the network, but they can be used simply as a way for opers to chat and have fun or for less important but still network-related oper-communications.

e - Block DCC requests:
When this mode is set dcc transfers cannot be sent to your client. This is a good idea for children and computer novices. It is also useful for experts who do not want to be bothered by DCC requests. Since many files can be harmful, it is a good idea to leave this on and only turn it off if you have chosen to receive a file from someone you trust. You will still need to accept the file transfer. Do not run any scripts or files that you do not understand. Even harmless looking files might contain a virus. Avoiding all file transfers is the safest course.

This will protect you from getting direct messages from other users. This is useful if you are away and do not want people trying to communicate with you or if you do not want to be bothered outside of rooms. It also is a good mode to set for children. While it is best to either supervise a child or educate them thoroughly and only allow them to chat unsupervised when their guardians feel they are ready, removing private messages provides some additional protection. Then if they remain in well-supervised rooms the operators may make sure that the conversation is acceptable.
