- How about having the first person op themselves getting op. The main
- problem with this would be the server load as everyone tries to grab op.
-
- My biggest problem with the one op/channel idea is that it allows one
- person to become op and then background irc and not pay attention to it
- anymore. Then when the channel does need an op (someone is dumping
- articles to the channel or whatever), the op won't be around to do a
- /kick. I'm still not positive that there is a need for channel ops at
- all (the mode wars and kick wars might actaully drop as people don't
- need channel op to take part in them).
