Starting Your Own Channel

Creating and managing a channel on IRC4Fun is straightforward. Here are some tips to help you get started.

Simply join a channel that doesn't exist yet:

/join #YourChannelName

If the channel is empty and unregistered, you will be given temporary operator status.

To permanently own your channel, register it with ChanServ:

/msg ChanServ REGISTER #YourChannel A description of your channel

You must be identified with NickServ to register a channel.

Channel Temperature — Keep your channel activity warm by being present and welcoming new users
De-escalation — Handle conflicts calmly and fairly; don't abuse operator powers
Burnout — Running a channel can be tiring. Consider adding trusted operators to share the workload
Set a topic — Use /topic #channel Your topic here to describe your channel

If you've been banned from a channel, try contacting the channel operators directly. If that doesn't work, you can email support @ IRC4Fun.net.
