Ø SPAM TOLERATED !
/chanserv AOP #Tausug ADD nick
Being an AOP/SOP is something you should respect. It’s not a power trip. A channel Founder assigning OPs represents a high degree of confidence, respect and trust between tenured IRC users. You are entrusted with the responsibility to make the channel be functional but still under control. The use of scripts for channel maintenance and user protection is welcomed and in most cases encouraged. This includes scripts that kick/ban for Advertising, Inviting, Spamming, Op Begging, Idle Kicks, Swearing and Channel Flooding. It is the OPs responsibilty to politely enforce the channel policies.
RESPONSIBILITY OF BEING AN SOP
To become a SOP you should have a fluent knowledge of services.
New SOP's can be voted in - 75% majority of the other AOP/SOP's - for a new applicant to earn SOPs status.
The founder reserves the right to assign SOP at any time.
The founder alone reserves the right to approve / disapprove all nominated SOPs.
You must be willing to remove anyone, including OPs, if they are not following the channel guide or is becoming belligerent towards the OPs or other channel participants.
All AKICKS are not final until approved by the Channel Founder.
You must be willing to add a user to the AKICK list if that user is displaying obscene or consistent problematic behavior. (i.e. consistent cursing, use of sexual overtones, deliberate name calling, lying to an Op, proven harassment of a user, and the provocation of deliberate arguments.)
GROUNDS FOR AOP / SOP REMOVAL.
Not following the guidelines can be reasons of AOP removal by an SOP. If an SOP feels strongly enough that you need to be removed immediately from the channel due to the breach of any of the above guidelines, then that SOP should do so; however, the SOP must be prepared to give proof and notification of this IMMEDIATELY to the founder for justification. The SOP must also consult in PRIVATE, with ANY AND ALL OTHER SOPS in the channel at that time before this takes place.
Failure to have a working knowledge of CHANserv.
It is not mandatory to use a script, but if you do it must not run amuck in the channel.
Failure to perform duties while being an operator.
Deliberate misrepresentation.
Removing AKICKS or Bans that have not expired or that have not been set by them.
CONSTANT Noticeable and deliberate disrespect to the users and OPs of the channel.
Long Term Absence.
Consistently bringing a personal argument into the channel and not PVT where it belongs.
Removing a user from the channel by either deceit or misrepresentation.
Deliberately not following channel guidelines.
Failure to protect the channel, enforce channel bans or actively allow users to argue, fight, and disrupt channel activities.
If a user is on the AKICK list, it is the OPs duty to enforce the AKICK. If services are down, and as an op, you refuse to remove that user from the channel, then that means you do not deserve to be an AOP or SOP. If the user is evading AKICKS deliberately and repeatedly then that individual is to be report to an IRCop for Ban Evasion. Failure to follow this guideline will result in a demotion of the position of being an OPs.
The practice of users giving other users access to their NickServ access list and nickname passwords is prohibited. If you are found to be doing this, you will be removed of all OP status until your access list is cleared.
By not following the Op guidelines an AOP or SOP can be removed or demoted by a channel wide Ops vote. If the vote is equal to or greater than 75% of the OPs, then that individual will be removed from the list.
Proof that a AOP / SOP is nuking someone offline in the channel through ANY type of internet based attacks. This includes, but not limited to: ANY type of DoS attacks, flooding, or computer intrusion of any kind. Such actions will lead to a permanent ban from the channel.
Willing participation in personal attacks on a channel user or operator.
Allowing a user access to your IRC client, after you have been opped in the channel and identified to NickServ.
If your get promoted to OP, and all you do is join, get opped by ChanServ, and then part soon after, then your OP status will be removed.
