Sorry guys. I don't play this game that often. There is another way to get @ status. Here are the instructions:

For L bot in the channel:

See the Q FAQ.

2. You need to be opped on the channel.

The channel name cannot be longer than 30 chars (including the # sign).
No-one else needs to be opped at this point, giving channel operator status to other users is NOT recommended:


* You may lose the channel due to a takeover.
* Another channel operator may be able to request L before you.
* Do NOT have more than 5 ops!


QuakeNet staff will NOT recover the channel or change flags for you!

3. You need at least 3 other users on the channel.

These other users just have to be on the channel; they do not need to be authed with Q, voiced or opped on the channel.

4. You need to maintain the channel with the above requirements until the request is successful.

Try to request L once in a while (for example every 15 minutes).
There is no static time requirement for requesting L, it will take at least a few hours and could even take DAYS.
You can NOT see how much time is left.
You do not have to ‘start over’ when you get disconnected or when the user count drops below 4. Once you meet the above requirements again, it continues where it left of.

To request L you type: /msg R REQUESTBOT #channel

You replace '#channel' with the actual channel name you want to request L for.

R will give you a reply explaining what the result is (you may also get a reply from L).
