When you create a room you are by default a room Administrator but do **be careful** when changing power levels especially on yourself. If you were to lower yourself from 100 to anything less you cannot get 100 again and AfterNET staff will not be able to do so for you as well due to the federated nature of Matrix. You will need someone else in the room who is an Administrator to set you back to 100. | When you create a room you are by default a room Administrator but do **be careful** when changing power levels especially on yourself.

* Nothing is perfect and this is no different. The bridge may from time to time exhibit odd behaviors such as communication going only one way, that is to say a user may send a message to a bridge room from the Matrix side but it wont make it to the IRC side or vice versa.
