[IRCServices] IRC Services channel mode loophole

[JASON M]

Hi Andrew,

There seems to be a loophole/bug in relation to IRCop channel modes. If you mlock a channel with +A or +O for example some channel modes referencing Server-admins and Opers only they set fine, however since there is no feature to make ChanServ stay in the channel, when the last person leaves all modes are unset and the first person to join can get in before the modes are set. This can be a regular user then the modes set however the user is still in the channel.

It would be nice if there was a mode to make ChanServ sit in channels as well as a fix for if users don't want ChanServ in their channels. On small networks and even big ones having ChanServ idle in channels should have no serious impact as services such as SRVX running on GameSurge run in over 10,000 channels and have ChanServ idle in most if not all of them.
