Protection level can be 0 through 4 where the specific levels are as follows: 0 No protection. 1 Reop/unban, do nothing to offender. 2 Reop/unban, deop offender. 3 Reop/unban, kick offender. 4 Reop/unban, kickban offender. The channel protection level limits the highest protection level that will be enforced. For example, if channel protection level is set to 2 and a user has protection level 4, that user will still be treated as having only level 2 on that channel. If channel protection level is set to 0 (zero), protection will not be enforced at all. See also: setprot, user, userlist
