Chanfix

Chanfix is a service found on some IRC networks that will keep track of the channel operators and will try to make sure there is at least one person with operator status per channel. If there are no users with operator status on a channel, the chanfix will consider the current users and decide if it should give operator status to some of them. There are some limitations to chanfix services; generally, a channel needs to be active for so many days, have a certain minimum amount of users, and for users to be eligible to be given operator status, they need to have had operator status in the channel before and for a long enough time.
