- Personally I think channel opping bots are useless. What is the point?
- Having a robot sit on a channel and only op certain people? Now
- that is what I call elitst. I've had so many problems$with channel opping
- bots in the past. This is one of the reasons I don't like them. Let's
- give a current exmaple. #wicca, has a channel opping bot, now$the original
- creators of this channel (regular members) Are not even opped by this bot
- anymore. And some new person has taken over the channel and imposed
- all these 'rules' (once again, very elitist) . I told them the
- best solution is to create a new channel. They will probably do that
- but still. What gives them the right to put a robot on a channel
- and have it only op certain people?
- Especially when they do vanity ops such as
- /mode #channel +ooo sameperson sameperson sameperson
