Usage: FREEZE <#channel|nick> <reason> The FREEZE command is used to (mostly temporarily) take away most access rights to a channel or nick. If used on a channel, it will disable all access lists of the channel. Users can still join, but the channel will behave as if it wasn't registered. If used on a nick name, then the user with that nick name can't use any of his access in channels or use ATTACH on the nick. Examples: /freeze #python /freeze Francisca Freezing a nick should be a temporary punishment in most cases, it's useful if an abusive user caused trouble in many channels he has access in. Or if a whole channel has been violating network policies. Note: The properties FROZEN, FREEZEBY and FREEZETIME will be added for the channel or nick when this command is issued.
