From f10bf949dc0a59a4422b87390456bd550a4d732a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Stanley Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2021 17:19:40 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Update doc on banning disruptive users for OFTC OFTC doesn't have a server-side remove command (I can't find evidence that it even works on Freenode though I only bothered to test on OFTC to confirm). Update this section of our IRC document accordingly.
