Confirmed. I would have thought it was an argument terminator or something, but it seems to just strip all ":" chars.

Same with /nachat
/wallops, /globops and /locops unaffected

Are there any other level notices? :P

Actually this is nothing special, most clients don't know /chatops as a command so just send it raw like /chatops :D as 'CHATOPS :D' which in the IRC protocol means command=CHATOPS, parameter 1='D'.
It also does not strip "all ":" chars", it only ""strips"" the first one.

For example, if you are using mIRC, something as simple as '/alias /chatops chatops : $+ $1-' fixes it (but introduces the famous multi-spaces-are-screwed-up-mIRC-design-bug)

/wallops is a 12+ year old command from RFC1459 so is usually included. And apparently we got lucky with /globops and /locops :)

In short, this is not our fault :)

the problem is that if we consider it like a command that needs the first : character, then only the first parameter should be sent if the : isn't included..right? And it's really strange for /chatops to work like that, especially when all other commands /globops /locops etc work just fine (in short i think it's your fault :PpP)

Quite right you are.
/raw globops :test
returns test.

Would changing this damage anything?

ok, you two (and especially GSF19) clearly don't understand the IRC protocol then. That's no problem, but I just thought I explained it well.

It's like asking to threat the : thing as text in globops, guess what happens? All messages will suddenly have a : at the beginning.... duh.
Or always skip the :? Well then you got exactly the problem you just reported.

This can be closed.
