half operator

[Ethan Blanton]

nynorsk at strilen.net spake unto us the following wisdom:
> Can anyone please enlighten me on the context of the string "Half
> Operator"? It doesn't carry any meaning to me as it stands now.

This is a status that an IRC user can have in some channels on some
networks.  An operator is a user who has the power to perform various
administration tasks in a channel (chat room), and a half operator is
a user who has some of those powers, but not others.  There is
probably an idiomatic translation for this.

Hope that helps,
Ethan
