[ SLANG ][ IRC ][ MODERATION ]

FORCE: Gen Z BrainrotUNIVERSE: IRC CultureCLUSTER: irc_roles

An IRC operator: a user with elevated rights over a local server or a whole IRC network, distinct from a channel operator.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

""An IRCop dropped the flooder from the whole network in seconds.""

LORE & ORIGIN

Wikipedia's IRC article says operators can typically disconnect clients and ban addresses, with powers varying by server software; RFC 1459 (May 1993) called operators "a necessary evil", and a 1996 dispute over limiting them fed into the IRCnet split. Wiktionary lists IRCop as a blend of IRC and op, with "oper" as a synonym.
