GLines 1.0

GLines are a type of IRC (Internet Relay Chat) service that provide users with a global operator capability.

Maksim Smolin is a software developer and entrepreneur who has developed GLines, among other projects.

GLines work by granting certain privileges to the user, such as the ability to ban or kick users from channels across different IRC networks.

Some advantages of GLines include enhanced moderation control, the ability to enforce network policies, and the ability to effectively deal with abuse or disruptive users.

GLine statuses are typically granted by the IRC network administrators based on trust, experience, and community contribution.

Having a GLine status comes with responsibilities such as enforcing channel rules, assisting users, and maintaining a safe and welcoming environment.

No, GLines can be implemented on various IRC networks and are not limited to a specific network.

Like any privilege, GLines can potentially be abused. However, responsible administrators take measures to prevent such misuse and ensure fair usage.

GLines are usually temporary and can be revoked if the user no longer meets the criteria or fails to fulfill their responsibilities as a global operator.

Yes, there are other services with similar capabilities, such as OperServ on IRC networks running Anope services.
