What are the duties of IRCops?
The first duty of an IRCop is to keep his server connected to Undernet. That means that after a netsplit, he tries to figure out the best way to reconnect his server so the users will not be terribly disrupted. Of course, he also tries to prevent netsplits as best he can. Secondary duties are somewhat less important, and different IRCops have differing opinions of what those duties are. Generally, they include G:lining or /killing abusers (see G:line/K:line FAQ for details), hanging out on help channels, and using Uworld, Uworld2, or EUworld to resolve channel problems.
