Channel Operator Guide
Overview:
Channel operators have control of the channel, for example, kicking, banning, and so on. If you are to be given permanent ops (operator) status in a room, you must have registered your nickname with nickserv first, and Identified with Nickserv on login. Nickserv instructions are on the Chat Help page.
