Synopsis: 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.
