=head1 ChanServ ChanServ gives normal users the ability to maintain control of a channel, without the need of a bot. Channel takeovers are virtually impossible when a channel is registered with ChanServ. Registration is a quick and painless process. Once registered, the founder can maintain complete and total control over the channel. Please note that channels will expire after 30 days of inactivity, or if there are no eligible channel successors. Activity is defined as a user with one of +voOsrRfhH being on the channel. Successors are primarily those who have the +R flag set on their account in the channel, although other people may be chosen depending on their access level and activity. Commands can also be given on channel by prefixing one of '!' and omitting the channel name. These are called "fantasy" commands and can also be disabled on a per-channel basis. The following commands are available: =over =item L Manipulates a channel's AKICK list. =item L Sets a ban on a channel. =item L Removes a ban on a channel. =item L Closes a channel. =item L Channel removal toolkit. =item L Shows number of entries in access lists. =item L Drops a channel registration. =item L Forces a flags change on a channel. =item L Manipulates specific permissions on a channel. =item L Forces foundership transfer of a channel. =item L Returns the key (+k) of a channel. =item L Gives channel halfops to a user. =item L Removes channel halfops from a user. =item L Displays contextual help information. =item L Prevents a channel from expiring. =item L Displays information on registrations. =item L Invites you to a channel. =item L Removes a user from a channel. =item L Removes and bans a user from a channel. =item L Lists channels registered matching a given pattern. =item L Adds a note to a channel. =item L Gives channel ops to a user. =item L Removes channel ops from a user. =item L Regain control of your channel. =item L Registers a channel. =item L Sets various control flags. =item L Displays your status in services. =item L Displays a channel's metadata. =item L Manipulates predefined sets of flags. =item L Sets a topic on a channel. =item L Appends a topic on a channel. =item L Prepends a topic on a channel. =item L Gives channel voice to a user. =item L Removes channel voice from a user. =item L Explains channel access logic. =item L Manipulates a channel AOP list. =item L Manipulates a channel SOP list. =item L Manipulates a channel HOP list. =item L Manipulates a channel VOP list. =item L Forces access levels to xOP levels. =back
