Mute a user in the current channel, preventing them from sending messages.
Unlike /mode +m which moderates the entire channel, this targets a specific user.
Syntax
/mute <nickname> [duration]
Parameters
nickname — The user to mute.
duration — Optional duration in seconds. Omit for permanent mute.
How It Works
The muted user cannot send messages in the channel but can still read them. If a duration is specified, the mute automatically expires after that time. Channel operators and above can mute users with lower rank.
Rules & Limits
- Requires half-operator (%) status or higher
- Cannot mute users with equal or higher rank
- The target must be in the channel
Examples
/mute Spammer /mute Spammer 300
