Hmm, I feel dumb. I thought I looked over that, I suppose I misunderstood or somesuch. I think FAQ is fine, although more instructive errors in the server could be useful. Perhaps a verbose error server option...for example, if you try to use /mode and are an oper but OperCanUseMode is not set, it could say "You can't do this because this value isn't set."
In general, more robust errors like that would be great. if you type /wallops, it yells at you what the proper syntax is. I don't know how much effort this would involve (although the number of commands is small), but in general just some basic usability stuff like that would be awesome. I'd even be willing to help!

of
how, for example: I made a persistent room, and want to make myself the operator of it. I used /oper to make myself an irc admin, but /mode
#channel
+o myname gives me a 'you are not channel operator name.' I can't see in
the
server logs where to set this, and it seems odd that despite being an irc operator, I can't just force the mode command.
set "OperCanUseMode = yes" in ngircd.conf.
If there is a place where things like this are documented more thoroughly I'd lvoe that.
It is in doc/FAQ.txt, is there any other place where this should be documented as well?
