channel modes from Aeon's post
There is a difference between lower case modes and capital modes example "r" and "R" they are two totally different things.
These are channels modes and for user status.
~=owner (q)
&=admin aka protected (a)
@=operator (op) (o)
%half operator (half op) (h)
+=voice (v)
Note: half ops may not set other half ops and same with protected. neither of these two can kick each other or demote them
Modes are temporary, if you want to permanently promote someone, check the section about chan serv
the letters at the end show which status can set them.
