That's not a bad idea Eonix....

Was wondering if this happened to anyone else.

Do the rest of you acknowledge?

This has come up in the past. As I recall the general feeling was it would be too much of an annoyance >99% of the time to deal with an issue that happens <1%

Perhaps a better solution would be an #unboot command so that if a com really did boot someone by accident they could 'clear' their boot flag and they could get back in if they wanted to.

But a solution for this already exists. Just log back in with one of your 2 other nicks.

or #boot name reason(optional)

It would really help if people who got booted get the reason why they got booted.

I like having an optional reason for a #boot command, as it allows for quick boots but also boots with reasons

Agreed, an #boot name <reason> would be very handy, although it would not address Eonix' original point, namely an accidental boot. That pretty much means the com likely hit the boot button instead of accept when he was trying to join. No one 'accidentally' types in "#boot Eonix"

Edit: I still stand by my earlier post about this being a non-issue

I fully support this change.

I very seldom boot anyone and 50% of the time it's a mistake. At the very least, make a toggleable option to enable the boot confirmation screen (even if it's defaulted off).

Even then. You can still accidently boot a person by clicking yes anyway. No point in it.
