ROOT PROTECT

Usage: PROTECT <room> <on|off>

This command will make a room protected by services. No one will be able to do a getpass or setpass on the room. You will not be able to join the room unless you are on the aop/sop list. The founder is automatically services.

Example:
/msg chanserv protect #root on

This can be useful for network rooms, such as administrative rooms. You do not really need anyone in charge of the room, and this way you do not need to worry about administrative changes. However, while the room is protected, you cannot add AOPs and SOPs. When you turn internal off, it reverts back to the original founder. Although roots can still add AOPs and SOPs or change the foundership. Then when done modifying the lists, the room can be set back to being internal.
