This FAQ consists of answers to several frequently asked questions on
the IRC newsgroups and the DALnet IRC Network help channels. Please email
questions to help@dal.net.
Section IV: Administration

can I become an IRCop?
4.2 - Can I run my bot
on DALnet?
4.3 - How do I link my
server to DALnet?
4.1 - How can I become an
IRCop?
First off, don't *ask* to be one. Admins tend not to pick folks as it is
often a sign to be taken as begging. This is highly frowned upon as Admins
prefer to choose someone who is around often, makes themselves known through
helping rather than pestering. A willingness to help is a definite must.
IRCops spend a lot of their time helping users. Admins will not choose:
-
Folks who appear to want
the IRCop privileges for the /kill command
-
Folks who think the IRCop
priviledges is a sign of power
-
Folks who just think being
an IRCop is "cyewl"
-
Folks who are not around
much
-
Folks who make a nuisance
of themselves.
By following proper etiquette
- kindness, helpfulness, and respect, you raise your chances of being
noticed tremendously. When an Admin feels you are ready, they will approach
you - not the other way around.
4.2 - Can I run my bot on
DALnet?
Some servers do allow bots to be run. Some do not. ALL servers require that
you register your bot before hand. To check you can type:
/motd
server.*
server.* would be the
beginning of the server you are on - or simply visit The DALnet
Servers Listing and view the servers to see if they allow bots.
4.3 - How do I link my server to DALnet?
Please refer to the DALnet
Server Application website or send an email to the TestNet team.
