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 token such as 30s, 5m, 1h, or 1d. 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 channel operator or owner status
- Cannot mute users with equal or higher rank
- The target must be in the channel
Examples
/mute Spammer /mute Spammer 30m
