  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>During a netmerge, if one side of the split has +O on a channel and the other doesnt, a non-oper can sit on the side without +O and when the net merges, force his way into the opers only channel. Its easily reproduced, and can be a quite annoying problem,
  35 </I>&gt;<i> if enough people join while the net is split.
  36 </I>
  37      This is a bug, though I was pretty sure Services already watched for
  38 this.  I'll take a look and fix whatever needs fixing.
  39
  40 &gt;<i>So, i'm officially requesting that this feature be added to Services. I'm not entirly sure how you will be able to identify a local oper, but i'm sure you will find a way.
  41 </I>
  42      I won't, because it's not possible (as others have pointed out).
  43 Local opers look no different from regular users to Services, and will be
  44 kicked out of +O channels--which is, IMO, proper, since +O channels are
  45 global and local opers should not be able to use their privileges beyond
  46 their own server.
