|
* What is mod.Chanfix exactly?
|
|
|
|
mod.ChanFix is an open source port of OpenChanfix for IRCu 2.10.11.X+ oompatible networks.
|
|
Designed as a module for GNUWorld. The service creates a continuous dynamic database of
|
|
channel operators, automatically reopping channels which lose channel ops. Furthermore,
|
|
the service can be manually invoked by mod.Chanfix administrators to reverse recent
|
|
channel takeovers.
|
|
|
|
By default, mod.Chanfix observes channels with at least 4 clients, and retains channel
|
|
op score records for 2 weeks.
|
|
|
|
* How does it keep track of which people have been opped?
|
|
|
|
mod.Chanfix makes a temporary list of all unique AC accounts in a given channel.
|
|
Thereafter, the account is registered in the database as channel operators. For every
|
|
scored round, a given account will receive one point. Channel ops are scored whenever
|
|
the IRC network is judged to be intact (i.e. not split), and by default every channel
|
|
is scored once every 5 minutes. Thus, assuming no large network splits, a given account
|
|
can achieve a maximum of 288 points per 24 hour period.
|
|
|
|
* When does mod.Chanfix take action?
|
|
|
|
There are two cases in which mod.Chanfix will take action.
|
|
|
|
The first is whenever a channel with scores in the database becomes opless. mod.Chanfix
|
|
will look at the scores in the database and match those against the clients currently
|
|
present on the channel, and give ops to the clients with the highest scores.
|
|
|
|
This is called an automatic fix; whenever a channel becomes opless, mod.Chanfix will
|
|
attempt to fix it automatically.
|
|
|
|
The second is when a channel has been taken over. An IRC Operator with an account on
|
|
mod.Chanfix with the right flag can issue a manual fix. If this is issued, all clients
|
|
on the channel are deopped, and mod.Chanfix will join the channel and remove all bans
|
|
and modes. This allows the channel regulars to rejoin the channel. Then, after a short
|
|
while, mod.Chanfix will join the channel again and will reop the channel using the same
|
|
autofix logic.
|
|
|
|
For more information about the exact algorithm used, see the opping logic section.
|
|
|
|
* How does one interface with mod.Chanfix?
|
|
|
|
When loading the mod.Chanfix module into your GNUWorld, a client is connected. By default,
|
|
its nickname is C. All oper <-> mod.Chanfix interaction goes via NOTICE to C, this can be
|
|
changed to PRIVMSG's if desired.
