In OP status, if you have to "idle", make sure you set your script properly. If you are AFK, make sure that no one else uses the script to cause trouble in the channel. You will be held responsible.

OPs is a COOPERATIVE effort and not a bunch of independents doing what each feels like. For example, if an OP allows a lot of sexual innuendo, then users will naturally run with the ball. But if the next OP who goes into the channel does not appreciate that innuendo and prohibits it, then there will be justifiable complaints about OPs (OPs as a group) not knowing what they want, and that the rules are changing from OP to OP, etc. Therefore, all OPs must make maximum effort to administer the channel in the same way regardless of who the OPs are there, not just in rules enforcement but in behavior as well. Don't delete other ops. If you think an op is misbehaving, suspend him with a proper reason, and discuss it with the channel manager.

ONLY the channel manager can ADD, REMOVE or CHANGE the ACCESS LEVEL of OPs.

Do not test new scripts in the channel. This may cause trouble among chatters and other OPs.

A reason MUST be included when you do kick/ban>. Bans without a clear reason will be unbanned by the channel manager as soon as possible. DO NOT KICK/BAN in the channel when violation occurs in private or in other channels. Violations in private can be dealt with in other ways. Only violations in the channel are considered. The biggest defense against ban complaints is the kick message that explains it. But there will always be users who think you were too quick, or think the ban time was too long, or that you play favorites, etc. There will also be a few that know full well you acted properly, but will complain just to cause trouble. Your behavior in these cases should be the same: don't try to figure out if the complaint is real or fake unless you can read minds. Tell them the kick message was clear ( it WAS clear, wasn't it?), it supports the channel directive, and give them the channel website. Do NOT get into long drawn-out fights about it. Discuss, yes (if they seem cooperative). Even discuss in the channel if it seems appropriate. But don't get suckered into fights.
