Find this and delete the complete subsection: Founder does not need to identify

Syntax: /chanserv set #channel unsecure

Information: This command, when turned on, will allow anyone on the founder's nick access list to make founder type changes to the channel. This may be a large security compromise if the founder does not have a very secure nickserv access list (please see the NickServ document for more information). It is suggested to leave this argument untouched.

Making the channel private

Syntax: /chanserv set #channel private on/off

Information: This setting, when turned on, will prevent the /chanserv invite command from being used. Only AOps and above will be able to see the channel topic when issuing /chanserv info #channelname . It will also allow only people who know about the channel to access it.
