Kickban Vs Devoice?

2.8BRAINROT SCORE

KICKBAN— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE

Kickban To remove a user from an online channel and ban them from rejoining in one step, most often on IRC; also the command that does it.

Origin:A term from Internet Relay Chat (IRC) moderation. A plain kick only removes a user, who can usually rejoin at once, while a ban blocks a user mask from joining but does not by itself remove someone already present; a kickban does both. Clients such as irssi provide a KICKBAN command, and channel services often offer an equivalent. Wiktionary lists it as a verb meaning to kick and ban a user from an internet activity such as IRC. The first use of the word is not documented.

DEVOICE— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE

Devoice To remove a user's voice status in an IRC channel, so that in a moderated channel the user can no longer speak; the verb for the channel mode change -v.

Origin:A term from Internet Relay Chat (IRC). "Voice" (mode +v) is a per-user channel status that lets a person speak in a moderated channel (mode +m), and "devoice" means taking it away with -v, usually through the command /mode #channel -v nickname or a client shortcut such as /devoice. It leaves operator status, if any, untouched and does not remove the user from the channel. Operators on networks with channel services can also do it through the service bot. The first use of the word is not documented.

First Seen:Unknown (voice mode is part of IRC channel moderation from the 1990s)
