Is OpenChanfix like channel registration?

No. Not all all. OpenChanfix is a neutral entity which can fix a stable channel (this means that it has existed for at least several days, and has had a group of stable ops) in emergencies. The two emergencies when OpenChanfix can help are if the channel becomes opless, or if the channel is taken over.

When does my channel qualify for OpenChanfix?

Every channel with at least 4 clients in it will get points.

How do I get a score?

Every 5 minutes OpenChanfix will look at the opped clients in each channel that have enough clients. All of the clients that are idented (no ~ in front of their username) will get a point.
See the examples for more information.

How many points do I need?

You need at least 163 points (4% of the maximum) for OpenChanfix to reop you. Below that, OpenChanfix doesn't do anything. This means your channel must be at least 163 / 12 = 13.6 hours old.

My channel is opless and I have a score, why isn't OpenChanfix opping me?

OpenChanfix can take up to an hour to fix an opless channel. The higher your score, the faster you are opped. So be patient. Oh, and if your score is below 163, well, you won't be opped.

After 2 hours, OpenChanfix has still not been to my channel! What's going on?

The most probable explanation is that you have fewer than 3 clients in your channel. You must have at least 4 clients in your opless channel before OpenChanfix will come to fix it.
