If you have to deal with users who don't behave you can tell ChanServ to kick and/or ban them.

Kicking users from a channel

To remove a user from the channel (kick), use the following command:

/msg ChanServ KICK channel nickname reason

- "channel" is the name of the channel you want to kick the user from
- "nickname" is the name of the user you want to kick
- "reason" is the reason why the user was kicked (optional)

Banning users from a channel

To prevent a user from joining the channel (ban), use the following command:

/msg ChanServ AKICK channel ADD mask reason

- "channel" is the name of the channel you want to kick the user from
- "mask" is the hostmask in the format user@host or nick!user@host
- "reason" is the reason why the user was kicked (optional)

Please note that those bans are permanent and will not be removed automatically after a certain time.

Unbanning users from a channel

To allow a banned user back in to the channel (unban), use the following command:

/msg ChanServ AKICK channel DEL mask

- "channel" is the name of the channel you want to kick the user from
- "mask" is the hostmask in the format user@host or nick!user@host

Please note that this does not remove any bans placed by an automatic kick (autokick). Those must be removed manually.
