Ircop
<messaging> /*r'-kop/ ("
IRC" + "
op", but with the, presumably intentional, alternate analysis "IRC" + "cop") Someone who is endowed with privileges on
IRC, not limited to a particular
channel.
These privileges include
channel op privileges in any channel, but also notably include the ability to disconnect a user from the IRC network.
Ircops are generally people who are in charge of the IRC
server at their particular site.
Compare
op.
