- Usage: KICK *|<channel> <user> [<comment>]
- Kicks specified user off a given channel. Only channel operators
- are privileged to use this command. Channel operator privileges
- can be given to other users of channel using:
- MODE <channel> +o <user>
- and taken away with:
- MODE <channel> -o <user>
- KICK * <user> is just like the first usage but it always specifies
- the current channel. So
- KICK * idiot
- will kick 'idiot' off your current active channel.
-
- KICK can be very effective if used in a combination with
- MODE #channel +i
- and possibly
- MODE #channel +b.
- First line of defense should be IGNORE and KICK then then the
- channel can be made invite only, and if all else fails a person
- can be banned from the channel.
-
- The <comment> is to supply some reason for the kick to the user
- affected as well as to other people on your channel.
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE:
- Be careful with your use of KICK and MODE #channel -o
- as they can throw the network permanently out of sync. This
- generally occurs when two people are bickering about channel op
- status and de-op each other. This generates 'Fake MODE' notices
- which are an indication that something is wrong. The best way
- to avoid this is to not use ON and MODE together.
