What is a channel operator/moderator?

A channel operator/moderator or commonly shortened to op, is a person that is operating a channel as the words says. Operating a channel can be different from channel to channel, but the difference is more in the channel rule set then it is in the job "operating a channel". Operators are easy to identify. They all have an @ in front of their nicknames.

They are responsible for maintaining the modes of the channel, the banlist, and moderating any unwanted activity. IRC channel operators should not be confused with IRC operatorIRC operator. An IRC operator is a user on an Internet Relay Chat network who has privileged access. IRC operators are charged with the task of enforcing the network's rules, and in many cases, improving the network in various areas...., who enforce network, rather than channel rules.

Operating a channel can be all that, but consider operating a channel hard work, lots of hours, bad times and good times, that way you will not be to disappointed discovering life in a channel with an @.

Being a channel operator can be hard work, you will sometimes find you opping alone in channel, with many users needing help. Even though a persons problem can seem unimportant, or easy to you, it doesn't mean the user/visitor looks at it the same way. Therefore always try to see your answers and actions from the visitors view of point.
