Only channel operators are privileged to use this command. Channel operator privileges can be given to other users of channel using: MODE <channel> +o <user> and taken away with: MODE <channel> -o <user> KICK * <user> is just like the first usage but it always specifies the current channel. So KICK * idiot will kick 'idiot' off your current active channel. KICK can be very effective if used in a combination with MODE #channel +i and possibly MODE #channel +b. First line of defense should be IGNORE and KICK then then the channel can be made invite only, and if all else fails a person can be banned from the channel. The <comment> is to supply some reason for the kick to the user affected as well as to other people on your channel. IMPORTANT NOTE: Be careful with your use of KICK and MODE #channel -o as they can throw the network permanently out of sync. This generally occurs when two people are bickering about channel op status and de-op each other. This generates 'Fake MODE' notices which are an indication that something is wrong. The best way to avoid this is to not use ON and MODE together. See Also: MODE IGNORE Save
