What is S?

S is the EmechNet channel statistics service.

When S is added to a channel, it records channel activity and builds useful stats over time, such as joins, parts, message activity, user activity, and channel history summaries. It is useful for channel owners who want to understand how active their channel is, who the regular users are, and how the channel changes over time.

S does not moderate the channel and does not replace X. It is mainly informational. It should be requested when you want channel stats and activity tracking.

To request S for your channel, use the request service:

/msg R REQUESTSBOT #channel

...
or on this website on the Services portal @ https://emechnet.org/services

Only eligible channel owners or approved users can request it.
