- Synopsis:
- kick *|<channel> <nickname> [<reason for kick>]
-
- Description:
- This command "kicks" the specified user off of the specified channel.
- It is typically used to remove troublemakers, flooders, or people
- otherwise making a nuisance of themselves on the channel. The reason
- for the kick is recommended, but not required by the IRC servers.
-
- Examples:
- To kick foobar out of channel #blah:
- /kick #blah foobar Go away!
-
- To kick foobar out of your current channel:
- /kick * foobar I said go away!!
-
- See Also:
- ignore(1); load(5) autokick; mode(1); on(5) kick
-
- Restrictions:
- KICK is limited to channel operators (users with channel mode +o; see
- MODE for more information) on the specified channel.
-
- Other Notes:
- It is important to note that channel operators are the single absolute
- authority on their channels, and as such they may kick out anyone they
- choose for any reason (or no reason at all). Keep in mind, however,
- that doing so for such petty reasons won't make you very popular with
- other users, and it isn't unheard of for users to abusively avenge the
- kick. If someone is annoying you, using IGNORE (or SILENCE, if
- available) is a better solution. KICK should be reserved for users who
- are harassing your channel or its members in general.
