What is Internet Relay Chat takeover?
A '''takeover''' in [[Internet Relay Chat]] is when someone who is not meant to be in [[wikt:control|control]] of a channel takes control. Several ways this can happen is by taking advantage of a net split, an event that occurs when one [[server]] disconnects from another, or by tricking an [[IRC bot]] into promoting the user to operator status. Once the user has operator status, they kick the other operators out or remove their operator status. {{IRC footer}} {{Tech-stub}} [[Category:Internet Relay Chat|Takeover]]
