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