Forums General Discussion Stealing my channel

Hi.

I had a guy help me with my irc channel that have same name as my webiste.

Now this guy will "steal" my channel.

Im am still @ on the channel.

What can i do de "de op" him an 1 other person that tryes to take over the channel?

To deop someone you use /mode #channel -o nickname

If the network you're on has Services (i.e. Chanserv) and you've given them access as an AOP or some such, then you'll need to remove them from that access list. It's usually /chanserv aop #channel del nickname but check with your local #help channel or /chanserv help to confirm.

Any further problems with someone stealing your channel would have to be dealt with at a local level on the network your channel is on.

It's a good idea never to op anyone who you don't know for this very reason.

Regards,

Chanserv Unknown command

We have a @Q in our channel.

I guess its from that list that i should remove the "auto op" ?

Hm.

Think i have to have the guy give me

GIVEOWNER
Give complete control (+n flag) to the named user on the channel.

Newer ever trust some1 to set up ur channl for u

I wouldn't say 'never', but if you do get someone to set up a channel for you (and setting up a channel isn't really difficult), you should get someone that you have known for a while and trust.

As I said, setting up a channel isn't difficult, and most networks will help you with information so that you can setup your own channel.
