Getting Opped in Your Channel

There are several ways to get opped in your channel:

ChanServ

If you have registered your channel with ChanServ, ChanServ should automatically op you as long as you've identified with NickServ. If ChanServ did not automatically op you, check to make sure you're identified. You can also ask ChanServ to OP you:

/cs OP #MyChannel

Auto mode (+w)

IRC4Fun's IRC servers allow channel ops to set auto-modes (+w) which will make the server set certain modes on matching users as they /JOIN the channel.

  • Auto-op yourself by hostmask: /MODE #MyChannel +w o:*!*myuser@*.hostmask.com
  • Auto-op yourself by account: /MODE #MyChannel +w o:R:MyNick
