sysop ({{pronEng|ˈsɪsɒp}}, an abbreviation of
system operator) is an administrator of a multi-user computer system, such as a
bulletin board system (BBS) or an
online service virtual community.
Co-sysops were users who were granted certain admin privileges on a BBS. Generally, they would help validate users and monitor discussion
forums. Some served as file clerks, describing and inserting newly arrived
shareware,
Freeware, and other files into appropriate
download directories.Historically, the term
system operator applied to operators of any computer system, especially a
mainframe computer. In general, a sysop is a person who oversees the operation of a server, typically in a large computer system. Usage of the term peaked in the late 1980s, mostly in reference to BBS operators. A person with equivalent functions on the
Internet is typically called a "sysadmin", short for
system administrator.
