As of version 4.4 of the TeamTalk server, user accounts can each have a list of channels for which they are automatically given operator rights upon logging in. In simple English, it is very possible for each channel owner on here to automatically receive operator privileges without entering their password. It would only require the code in charge of channel creation to include a line that updates a user account with this information once the channel has been created or modified.
While I don't think the operator password should be taken out entirely, I'm suggesting that the script used for channel creation add the appropriate information so that the owner of a channel doesn't need to enter a password to gain control. I have my own TeamTalk server on simonj.me, and I often create user accounts for people so they can administer their channel without entering a password. This is also useful for me because sometimes I want people who can moderate the main channels, but aren't necessarily full administrators. All I need to do is add the main channels to their user account.
It's a small convenience and I realize it'll probably be low on the list of priorities, but as far as I can tell it's also an extremely minor modification. Of course, the operator password is still important if someone wants to grant other users permission, although that could technically also be included as an option, but I'm trying to make this as simple as possible.
If anyone else has any objections or other comments, feel free to write them here.
