Who are the OFTC Staff?

The Network Staff are responsible for the maintenance and well-being of the Network and its users.

When connected to our IRC network, staff are identifiable by their cloaked hostmasks: <nickname>.<role>.oftc.net.

Staff are assigned to their roles during annual staff-wide elections from the 8th to the 11th of every October. Between elections, staff may be promoted, demoted, added, or removed by the Network Operations Committee, as outlined in the Network’s Constitution. The constitution also outlines the responsibilities of each staff role, and defines the rules for our elections.

OFTC’s constitution is enforced by resolution 2002-07-02.iwj.5 of Software in the Public Interest’s Board of Directors.

If you would like to join our staff or sponsor a server, please refer to our Application and send it via mail.
