The rule's for getting
Auto Voice and OP are as follows :-
1. New members will be voiced at first instance, instead of being
offered aOPs.
2. Voicing will be by adding them to the access list, to afford them
protection by chanserv. aOPs will no longer voice people unless they
are already included in the access list.
3. The offer of voice will come from the co-founders, as has been the
case previously with aOPs, when it appears that the person involved
has settled down to become a regular on the channel and seems to "get
along" with the members on channel. As has been the case with aOPs to
date, members of the channel are free to approach co-founders
nominating people for such inclusion in the channel. Basically, this
is the same system that has operated to date with regard to aOPing
people.
4. The co-founders and SOPs will get a general consensus from the
channel, and based on this, the person will receive Voice. Voicing will
not require a vote on the list.
5. Once Voiced, people will be expected to subscribe to the mail list.
6. After some period of time, members with voice may be considered for
aOPs status. There will be no specific time limit on this. It will
depend a great deal on their regularity on channel, their demeanor on
channel, and so forth.
7. As is the case at present, members are welcome to submit voiced
members for consideration of aOPs to the co-founders, who will decide
if an offer should be made. If an offer is to be made, then it will be
put to a vote on the mail list, as is the norm.
8. If the person receives a majority vote for him/her, they will be
added as aOP to the access list. Again, the last three rules are the
same has have been applied to date.
9. The Voicing of a person will not automatically mean they will be
aOPed at some time in the future.
10. All members (aOPs, SOPs, and co-founders) will only temporarily
voice or OP those people already in that access list, at that
particular level.
11. Rule 10, in the case of SOPs and co-founders, will not apply when
it involves securing the channel for some reason. For example, should
it become necessary to temporarily moderate the channel, and it
is believed that someone, without status in channel, should be allowed
to communicate with the channel, i.e., an IRCCOP.
12. Rule 10, in case's of people wanting to learn about using aOP status,
#HarryTech may be used to temporarily OP some one, but at least 1
aOP, SOP or Co-Founder must remain on #HarryTech
with them and remove OP status from the scholar before the helper leave's the channel.
As noted in the rule's of the Channels.
