Channel Settings Control Panel
Channel ops, admins, founders, and server admins open a tabbed Settings modal from the channel header or right-click menu.
- Overview tab: channel info, mode flags, Channel URL
- Bans tab: add by nick or mask with duration + reason
- Ops & half-ops: manage the registered access list
- Topic tab: set or clear the channel topic (respects +t)
- Available in web app, desktop app, and both Messenger clients
Topic Management
Set and manage channel topics directly from the settings panel. The topic editor respects the +t mode — only operators can change topics when topic lock is enabled.
