[SOLVED] Allow only operators to create channels

[lgb-stephen]

Good morning,

I am running the latest 5X version of UnrealIRC and I would like to prevent users that are not operators from creating channels. The only way a user should be able to get access to a channel is via an operator who SAJOIN them directly. How might I do this please?

First of all, UnrealIRCd 5 is no longer supported since a few days, so I urge you to upgrade to UnrealIRCd 6: Upgrading from 5.x to 6.x. It's not much of a hassle, unless you have custom coded modules or modules that only exist for 5.x.

When you are on UnrealIRCd 6 you can install the module third/restrict-chans coded by Valware, see the listing at https://modules.unrealircd.org

Update: UnrealIRCd 6 now supports blocking creation of new channels using:

Code: Select all

set {
  restrict-commands {
    channel-create;
  }
}
