Re: Moderation of the IRC channel

Hi again, When you use the ‘normal’ /kick and /mode +b commands, this is what the entire channel sees: * sjw sets ban on *!*@fsf/member/LousyFruit * sjw has kicked LousyFruit from #chan (LousyFruit) That's the last thing LousyFruit sees before they are kicked. Guess who they're going to PM all their love? Instead, use /msg ChanServ AKICK #chan ADD *!*@fsf/member/Lousyfruit [optional reason] which prints * ChanServ sets ban on *!*@fsf/member/Noisytoot There are other, minor, technical reasons to prefer the latter. For example when Freenode reboots, +b bans are lost. The AKICK list is forever, and displays ban reasons (if any) and age. /query ChanServ AKICK #chan LIST I highly recommend reading /query ChanServ HELP COMMANDS if you're interested in upping your op game. Kind regards, T G-R
