IRC Operator

IRC Operator

Someone who helps to run an IRC server or network. An operator can kill clients from the network (for example, people who are breaking the rules, or a bot that has gone wrong). They are usually helpful people who will try and answer any questions you might have, but they are also often rather busy, of course.
