OpTools is a feature allowing the user to moderate the room by using commands in a user friendly interface rather than the command line. It is available in both Pro and Free versions of the client.

To use this feature, open the "General" tab of the "Settings" under the main Camfrog menu and check the "Show Operator Tool window" option. By default, it’s turned off. When the user turns this option on, the OpTool button appears near the audio settings in the bottom right corner of the room window. There are several ways to open OpTools:

Click the OpTools button (when the OpTools window is closed).
Right-click any user nickname and choose the "Open Operator Tool" option which appears when "Show Operator Tool window" is checked in the "Settings". In this case the nickname field will be already filled in.
Use the Alt+M shortcut.
If the "Show Operator Tool window" option is checked, the OpTool window automatically opens when the user enters a room and closes when the user leaves it. If the user closes the OpTool window, it won't automatically open the next time the user enters the room.

Main window

The main window has four tabs.

The Users tab allows performing various user related actions.

Enter the user’s nickname in the combo box to use one of the following options (use the X button to delete nicknames):

IP — displays the users IP address (/ip nickname).

Kick — allows kicking a user from the room. You can choose a reason from the list that appears when you click the "Kick" button or enter a "Custom" one (/kick nickname reason), as well as kick a user without a reason (/kick nickname).

Punish — allows adding/removing a user from the punished users list. You can choose a reason from the list that appears when you click the "Punish" button or enter a "Custom" one (/punish nickname [n minutes|hours|days] reason), as well as punish a user without a reason (/punish nickname [n minutes|hours|days]). Time values are taken from the settings. Depending on the settings, the user can be kicked from the room after this command. The user can be removed from the punished users list by /unpunish nickname.

Ban — allows adding /removing a user from the banned users list. You can choose to ban a user by IP, nickname, or both. You can choose a reason from the list that appears when you click the "Ban" button or enter a "Custom" one, as well as ban a user without a reason (/ban nickname and /banip nickname). The reason is displayed by the next command /msg text. Depending on the settings, after this command the user can be kicked from the room and/or added to the punished users list.

You can also remove a user from the banned users list (/banlist remove nickname or /unban nickname for Camfrog Cloud Server). The IP ban can be removed by first sending the command /ip nickname, and upon receipt of the message with the IP, the command /banlist remove deny ip ip_address is sent. Since there is /banip in Camfrog Cloud Server, there are no IP block and combined block items.

Warn — allows sending predefined "Reasons" messages to the room. Depending on the settings, the messages can be sent in three ways:
- as a simple nickname, text message sent to a room to be seen by all users;
- as a private /msg nickname, text message to a specific user;
- as a combination of consecutive messages. First, a private /msg nickname, text to a specific user; second, a private /msg 'wop' [TEAM-INFO] -->nickname "/msg nickanme, text"message to operators telling them which message has been sent to the user. You can choose the warn message sending option by either clicking the "Warn" option or changing it in the settings.

Quick Ads — allows sending predefined "Ads" messages to the room. These messages can be sent in three ways:
- a message to a room, visible to all users (/text);
- a message to a room, visible to all users and having a prefix showing the addressee (nickname, text);
- a private message to a user (/msg nickname, text).

3. Punished users (/punishlist nickname).

Use the X button to delete nicknames and the /ip nickname command to see the user’s IP. User’s IP is taken from the message and put into the IP field. There is also a field for the mask. A condition is chosen and a rule is either added by choosing "Add rule" (/banlist add allow|deny nick nickname expire or /banlist add allow|deny ip ipaddress mask expire) or removed by "Remove rule" (/banlist remove nickname|ipaddress). If both an IP and a nickname of the users are specified, then the rule will only be applied to the IP.
