;     chan_op.mrc  by EFnet #mIRC ops
;
; Don't freak out, it's not really that long, the script itself is just a few lines
; at the end, the rest are all just comments.
;
; This script is very simple and allows a group of trusted people to request
; ops from or give ops to others. It requires some basic knowledge of IRC and
; mIRC, and is really not intended for newbies. (If you are new to IRC, you
; really should not be trying to run a channel yet anyway.) This script is a
; much safer alternative than mIRC's built-in /auto command, which gives ops
; automatically to anyone with the right username@hostname joining the channel.
;
; This is very risky since people often share similar hostnames, and the
; username can be changed arbitrarily in mIRC. Let me repeat: use of mIRC's
; /auto command will almost certainly result in giving ops to the wrong
; person, resulting in a takeover sooner or later.
;
; In contrast, this script not only checks user@host information, it also
; requires a private password as a redundant safety feature. This way it is
; much less likely that both of those will be compromised.
;
; Like all scripts, especially those pertaining to channel maintenance, do not
; run it blindly, use /help or ask questions until you understand every line!
; Requirements for running this script:
;   Enable /ial ON and /remote ON (both already on by default in mirc 5.9 or later) 
;   Every participating op must run this script
;   Every participating op must be in each other's user list at the same level,
;   in this example, level 10, such as by using the /guser command:
;    /guser 10 Nickname 3  <- add *!*user@*.isp to your user list at level 10
; Save this file to your mirc directory as chan_op.mrc, then to make it active
; just "load" it the first time with this command (you don't need to do it again):
;    /load -rs chan_op.mrc
; Then after you join a channel, to get ops just select the nicks of 1 or more
; existing ops and use right mouse to bring up the new 'Special' menu for
; getting ops.
;
; Remember - use /help to learn what all these commands mean. For example:
;    /help /load     and     /help /guser    and    /help ctcp events
