[IRCServices] Opnotice.

[Dionisios K.]

Andrew Hi.

Non-opers doesn't need to know of chanserv op/deop changes.
And yes, i want to (de)(half)op someone on a 1000 users channel and i want 
only opers to see the change and not 1000 users.
This bothers even the users. They don't want to see services notices. The 
doesn't need to see these type of notices.
This is only cause flood to users.
And is not abusive or something. Opers can see who was executed the Op/Deop 
command.
I want to know who is using these commands but i can't enable opnotice 
because of this strange behavior.
And i'm sure 100% that i'm not the only one with this problem..
Opnotice is a command (way) to inform opers.. not users.
If someone with access to OP/DEOP is "playing" with it this is a problem 
with this oper and the founder.
