| 34 | <PRE>I can definitely see the validity of this claim. As much as founders | |
| 35 | wish their chanops were perfectly behaved, this "bug" is a marvelous way | |
| 36 | to trick many ordinary users into thinking someone else banned them. | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | If, however, you want usage of AKICK to remain anonymous, ChanServ could | |
| 39 | at least have it be prefixed with "AKICK", "(AKICK)", or something | |
| 40 | similar. Personally I think just saying "AKICK by nickname" is | |
| 41 | acceptable since it's not like many other ChanServ features are | |
| 42 | anonymous anyway. | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | No matter what route this takes, I think it should definitely show who | |
| 45 | placed an AKICK somewhere. | |
