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.
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
44 No matter what route this takes, I think it should definitely show who
45 placed an AKICK somewhere.
