Autokick
Keep known troublemakers out for good.
Operators only. This section is for IRC operators.
An autokick (AKICK) is a mask that ChanServ kicks and bans every time it appears in a registered room, even after the room has been empty.
irc
/cs AKICK #room ADD *!*@badhost.example /cs AKICK #room LIST /cs AKICK #room DEL *!*@badhost.example
SOPs and the founder can add and remove them. People on the access lists (UOP and above) are not kicked by an autokick that happens to match them.
Tips
- Prefer the narrowest mask that works.
- Review the list now and then.
- For one-off trouble use a normal ban.
Network operators cannot be autokicked. See Operators in rooms.
