Reop-Mode

In ircd 2.11.0 the Reop-Mode has been introduced to IRCnet. When a channel becomes opless, one of the users matching the added hostmasks will be opped after a delay.


Like ban, invite and exception list, the reop list contains hostmasks in format nick!ident@host.


Retrieve the reop list:

MODE #channel R


:irc.example.com 344 nick #channel *!user1@ircnet.com

:irc.example.com 344 nick #channel *!user2@ircnet.com

:irc.example.com 345 nick #channel :End of Channel Reop List


Add reop entries:

MODE #channel +R *!user@ircnet.com

Remove reop entries:

MODE #channel -R *!user@ircnet.com

When the channel became opless, reop will be enforced after 90 minutes:

:irc.example.com NOTICE #channel :Enforcing channel mode +R (166)

:irc.example.com MODE #channel +o nick


Hints

  • Keep your reop entries up to date (domain expired? shell account closed?)

  • Be careful with wildcards. Never use wildcards like *!user@151.141.187.* because they can be spoofed easily, e.g. *!user@151.141.187.ircnet.com. Use CIDR notation instead: *!user@151.141.187.0/24.

  • Reop entries can be restricted to countries by using ISO-3166-1 country codes. E.g. 276*!user@ircnet.com will reop only users on *.DE IRCnet servers.

  • If the channel is opless, users matching the reoplist are allowed to join the channel by overriding the channel limit.

  • If the channel is empty, reops will get lost, like all other channel information

  • If the server is currently in split-mode (maybe even due to misconfiguration), you will not get opped. To test that check if you get op when you join a non-existing channel.
