Only a GM can revoke channel moderator status, so be careful who you give moderator rights to. Channel moderator status is saved between playing sessions. This means that if you log out and come back later, you will still be a moderator of any channel so long as it still exists. Of course, when the last person logs out of the channel, it is destroyed. There is no limit to the number of channels that a player can be moderator of.
Private channels are now password protected.
Channel moderators never have to enter a password to join a channel that they moderate. This will ban the player from joining that channel again. GMs automatically gain channel moderator rights to all channels in the game. Please show courtesy to players that have had control over specific channels for a period of time. If we find players going out of their way to lock other players from channels just to be rude then we will take action.
