Introduction
ChanServ allows you to define certain channel modes to be always on (or off). The modes that can be locked are i, k, l, m, n, p, s, and t; each of these modes can be locked on, locked off, or not locked. Use the + prefix to lock modes on and - to lock modes off.
For more information about channel modes see Channel Modes.
