Q: How do I correctly and efficiently ban someone?
 
A:
 
You can use cloakban, provided with the command:
/cloakban #channel nick [k] [reason]
Example: /cloakban #help Idiot k Why are you so stupid?
k specifies that you also want to kick target user, instead of only banning them.
 
You can also autokick them from your channel via this command:
/cs akick #channel add nick/host reason
 
If you opt for an akick on their nickname, it will ban them regardless of the host they have as long as they are identified to a nickname in their nick group. If you opt for a host akick, we recommend using their cloaked host, which you can get by using:
/getcloakhost nickname
 
For example, /cs akick #channel add *!*@PurpleSurge-144EE150.albq.qwest.net
 
As a side note, IRC Operators will not intervene in cases of evasion unless it is deemed a severe case, i.e. the ops have set multiple valid akicks and cloakbans on the same person and really tried to keep the person out.
