Channel: #TeamIPX
When using Chatzilla
Location is
irc://au.austnet.org/#TeamIPX
In order to gain op status, you need somebody to add you to the ranks.
Add them to the admin list: op> /msg chanop adduser #TeamIPX nickname 150
Confirm the rank: you> /msg chanop confirm #TeamIPX nickname
In the event that you’re banned by a rogue user (cough cough):
/msg ChanOp unban #TeamIPX Nickname
Please note, it’s IPX policy to offer IRC op status to any member (honoraries are not included here). The level of ownership will be given as that of an admin (level 150). This gives you full rights to the server except for the ability to delete the channel. Currently, the only person with the ability to do this is Microman.
