1994, "Bernhard Lorenz", ChanOp for Irc Opers (on newsgroup alt.irc)... these problems solved themselves atfter some 10 minutes or so, without an ircop interferring into channel affairs by squitting his/her server to gain chanop status.
1996, "Jesse", A warning to all irc users (on newsgroup alt.irc)Today, I was awakened by a call from one of my IRC ops, telling me that my net had been 'taken over'. An ircop had squitted all the servers, and had a script that kept them disconnected from the net.
